The Reachy Mini announcement has me sketching a desk interaction for a shared lab space. I'd want a deliberate start button, a clear listening state and nothing stored by default. Has anyone planned a similar interface? I'm asking about what we'd build, not claiming the shipped software already has those settings. https://huggingface.co/blog/reachy-mini

I'd want a physical way to stop the interaction. A polite sentence isn't much help when the room is loud.

Yes, and the person next to it needs to recognise that control without being the person who set it up.
