Hands-On With the Rabbit r1 Pocket AI Assistant
With the rise of AI-dedicated devices, the Rabbit r1 AI assistant has been released. Priced at $200, the Rabbit r1 is a pocket-sized assistant that offers various functionalities such as answering questions, looking up information, interfacing with food delivery and ride-sharing services, playing music, and translating languages. Unlike the Humane AI Pin, the Rabbit r1 has a screen for interaction, a scroll wheel for navigation, and a built-in camera for recognizing objects. It is Wi-Fi only by default but can support a SIM card at an additional cost.
However, as a first-generation device, the setup process is said to be bare bones without proper instructions on how to use the device. Users may need to visit the website to figure out its functionalities, as there are hidden controls like shaking the device to access settings. The Rabbit r1 does not have an accompanying app, which means that photos and other information stored on it are only accessible through the Rabbit Hole website.
While the Rabbit r1 can perform tasks like summarizing documents and recognizing objects through its camera, some functionalities may not be as smooth. For example, in a test, the AI placed an order for food but did not ask for guidance on tipping, resulting in an overly generous tip. Overall, the Rabbit r1 appears to be a neat device but may not be ready to replace a smartphone entirely.
Further testing and feedback from users will help determine the usefulness and potential improvements of the Rabbit r1 AI Assistant. Have an opinion on the r1? Let us know in the comments below.
