🚨Latest Developments

🐇 Rabbit Inc. Launches First AI Hardware to Replace App-based Operating Systems

Source: Rabbit R1

Big Takeaway: Rabbit r1 is a $200 AI-powered second device meant to avoid needing to use your phone for simple tasks. (Full release video here)

The startup has developed a virtual assistant that learns whatever digital errands you teach it. The interface is a handheld device you use to issue voice commands to your pocket assistant.
The goal of r1 is to keep your phone in your pocket if you’re trying to accomplish a task like, “Give me a list of five cheap restaurants within a 10-minute walk of there.”
Its small size at 3"x3" and light weight of 115g make it portable alongside a phone. r1 knows how to use many common apps, like Uber, Expedia, and more, and can learn new ones by watching users interact with them.

Would you pay $200 to have an AI assistant alongside your phone?
