Summary
The Rabbit R1 unveiled at CES 2024 seems to have gotten the tech world talking.
What exactly is it, and how is it different from other AI products?
It is a handheld gadget that offers a new way of interacting with AI beyond smartphones and computers.
However, no accessories are included with the purchase.
The LAM helps the equipment understand complex requests and take action across different web apps and websites.
It will access your Amazon account and place the order, assuming you frequently order from a particular brand.
You don’t need to open Amazon’s website or click through multiple things.
This also applies to music streaming, ride-sharing, banking, social media, and more.
Unlike smartphones or computers, the Rabbit R1 doesn’t have specific apps installed on it.
For example, you could walk Rabbit through ordering a custom pizza on your favorite delivery app.
you might teach it that command, and Rabbit will add it to its repertoire.
At least, not anytime soon.
For example, the R1 might not be your cup of tea if you’re a gamer.
But for those high-performance, graphics-heavy, control-intensive mobile games?
Probably not the best choice.
And if you’re into watching videos, the Rabbit R1 might leave you feeling a bit frustrated.
However, these claims have yet to be tested in the real world.
Output-wise, it requires you to listen carefully and attentively and to ask for clarification or confirmation.
Using voice can also be a socially awkward and inappropriate input and output method.
Maybe R1 might get sophisticated enough down the road to replace your traditional machine.
But for now, your iPhone or Android is probably safe.
These shipping estimates are subject to change based on manufacturing capacity and component availability.
The Rabbit R1 is teeming with potential.
It could potentially herald the end of the era of smartphones and computers.
But does the Rabbit R1 truly live up to all the excitement surrounding it?
That’s a judgment only you and the test of time can make.
