The Problem with Current Smartphones
Rabbit’s CEO, Jesse, explained that the inspiration behind r1 was the increasing complexity of modern smartphones, which are filled with numerous apps and endless buttons to navigate. He stated, “We wanted to create a device that was so intuitive, you wouldn’t need to learn how to use it.”
The Solution: A Natural Language-Centered Approach
Rabbit’s solution to this problem is a natural language-centered approach. The AI device, a pocket companion, is designed to understand and execute human intentions on computers. This is achieved by integrating the Large Action Model (LAM), a new foundational model developed by Rabbit.
LAM is a breakthrough technology that understands and executes human intentions on computers. It can learn any interfaces from any software, regardless of the platform they’re running on. By integrating LAM into the advanced Rabbit OS operating system, Rabbit has managed to bring AI from words to action.
Meet r1: The Rabbit r1 Device
The r1 device itself is a marvel of technology. Designed in collaboration with Teenage Engineering, it is a fully standalone device primarily driven by natural language. It features a touchscreen, a push-to-talk button, an analog scroll wheel, a microphone, speakers, and a computer vision-enabled 360-degree rotational camera. It’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capable and supports the Global 4G LTE network. Rabbit r1 is ten times faster than most of the voice AI projects, answering any questions within 500 milliseconds.
Rabbit AI Pocket Device r1 in Action
The r1 AI-powered pocket device can assist with tasks such as planning an entire trip with flights, hotels and activities booked through natural conversations. It can also order food for delivery, hail rides, play music and provide information by processing questions.
Interacting with Applications
One of the key features of Rabbit r1 is its ability to interact with a wide range of applications. Users can log into different services and unlock functionalities for r1 via the Rabbit Hole web portal. This portal operates similarly to iCloud, allowing users to control which services they want to activate on their r1 and which provider they prefer.
Teach Mode and Customization
An innovative “Teach Mode” allows users to train r1 to perform unique routines or tasks just by demonstrating them once. This means that any user, regardless of their technical background, can teach r1 to learn new skills.
Pricing and Availability
At $199 with no subscriptions, Rabbit positioned r1 as an affordable alternative to smartphones and smart devices. Pre-orders opened immediately on Rabbit’s website, with shipping slated for early 2024.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Jesse reiterated Rabbit’s vision is not to replace phones but to introduce a new generation of intuitive AI companion devices. The Rabbit AI device r1 marked an important step towards AI becoming more helpful, harmless and honest.
