Is it frustrating to take out your smartphone to complete some task, hunt for the right app, and then tap around inside it? then let me introduce a new AI-generated pocket-friendly device known as ‘ RABBIT R1 ‘. Instead of swiping and scrolling through apps, you interact with the R1 mostly by verbal communication.
WHAT IS RABBIT R1?
The R1 is a square, reddish-orange gadget that is almost half the size of the iPhone 15. It features an analog scroll wheel to the right and a 2.88-inch touchscreen.
A 360-degree rotating camera is located above the scroll wheel “Rabbit Eye”, It functions as both a rear-facing and selfie camera, you can use it for video calls; The Rabbit Eye doesn’t work like a traditional smartphone camera.
It doesn’t need to pair with any other device, there is a 4G LTE SIM card slot for continuous connectivity, (You can also connect the R1 to a Wi-Fi network) and a USB-C port for charging.
It is not meant to replace our mobile phones, u can’t use it to watch movies, or play games, it is for our routine tasks like adding a song to your Spotify playlist, reserving a restaurant, booking a plane ticket, or any other kind of task.
The Rabbit R1 AI offers a training mode as one of its unique features. By actively interacting with the assistant in this mode, users can gradually teach it new skills and behaviors. They can enhance the assistant’s performance and understanding by giving feedback and corrections, making it more modified to suit their specific needs and preferences.
While a Rabbit-themed AI assistant can be cute, there are some problems you might run into. Firstly, carrying two devices can be a hassle because they might be bulky and hard to manage. You also need to make sure that u have charged both devices completely before leaving the house, as the R1’s battery drains so quickly.
Some are concerned about privacy due to the R1 is always listening. Additionally, some users might find it uncomfortable to utilize voice commands in public. Also, the R1’s camera may not be as excellent, if you want to shoot quality photos. After a while, the R1 might not look as unique because it’s simple for other businesses to create apps that are identical to it.
Despite these issues, the Rabbit R1 shows promise as a fun and useful tool, but there’s room for improvement to make it even better.
