The first 10,000 Rabbit R1 AI devices start leaving the factory on March 31 for early US and Canadian preorder customers. Rabbit confirms that this initial batch takes a little over three weeks to navigate international and US customs processes. Buyers in this first group currently expect their gadgets to arrive around April 24.
Subsequent shipments follow a staggered schedule throughout the spring. The second batch of orders ships during April and May, while the third batch heads out in May and June for US and Canadian addresses. Customers in the UK and EU see their shipments begin by late April.
The Rabbit R1 acts as an AI-powered alternative to a traditional smartphone by using an artificial intelligence assistant to handle tasks normally reserved for apps. Users rely on the device to queue up music, take photos, and book hotels, and the software even learns to interact with existing mobile applications after a brief demonstration.
