Hey soldiers, check this out! There’s an awesome new futuristic gadget on the scene called the Rabbit R1 that could challenge our cell phones one day.

What is Rabbit R1?
So the Rabbit R1 looks kind of like a mini cellphone, but way cooler. It’s a cute little square-shaped device you can easily carry around anywhere. The R1 has a colorful touch screen, a fun clickable scroll wheel, a built-in voice assistant, and teeny microphones. It’s like a smartphone shrunk into your pocket!
How Does R1 Work?
The magic inside R1 is something called RabbitOS – a special AI operating system created just for this gadget. Instead of using confusing apps and menus like our phones, you simply push the R1’s button and talk to it in natural language,. just like how you will have a normal conversation with a buddy! Ask it to text your parents, set alarms, search the web, or anything you can imagine. R1’s brain “understands” your requests and handles them for you automatically. Sweet!
For example, you want to take an epic selfie? Just tell R1 to open the camera. Wanna know if your favorite basketball player scored last night? Just ask! No more tapping tiny icons or wasting time hunting for the right app. RabbitOS has you covered.
Staying Safe with R1
Now we know what you’re thinking – is this thing spying on me? Nope! The makers at Rabbit put privacy first. R1 only listens when YOU choose to push the button. No random creepy eavesdropping like some gadgets out there. Phew! And all your data stays safe and secure inside R1, away from hackers.
R1 is also totally portable. It’s lightweight, has good battery life, and charges up fast with a USB-C cable. Toss it in your backpack and go!
The Future is Here!
So that’s the new Rabbit R1 gizmo about to shake up the tech world! No more being glued to gigantic phones all day long. R1 lets you take charge of your digital life with a friendly pocket pal. And the best part? It actually understands what you say! How cool is that? I can’t wait til they’re on sale. Move over smartphones, there’s a new sheriff in town!

There is a rotating camera called the “rabbit eye” as well as a scroll wheel to navigate through cards presented on the touchscreen. As mentioned earlier the Battery is said to last all day which is a major plus.
The Rabbit R1 supports a wide range of apps. Here are some examples:

You can add new apps to the list of supported ones on the Rabbit R1. The device uses a web portal called the “Rabbit Hole” where you can pick and choose the apps that Rabbit OS supports.
Comparison between Rabbit R1 and Siri and Alexa
While Siri and Alexa are also AI-powered voice assistants they require APIs to interact with apps. On the other hand, Rabbit R1 uses a Large Action Model to learn how users interact with apps and then replicate that behavior. This allows the Rabbit R1 to perform tasks on these apps in the cloud when you ask it to.
Availability: The R1 made its premiere at the CES 2024 which is being held in Las Vegas. It is currently available for preorder and is expected to start shipping in late March or April.
