Rabbit R1 Aims to Replace Smartphone Apps With AI Assistant
The Rabbit R1 is a pocket-sized device that uses an AI assistant to navigate apps and services on your behalf instead of relying on a traditional smartphone interface.
The Rabbit R1 is a pocket-sized gadget that debuts as a potential new category of personal computing hardware. Co-designed by Teenage Engineering, the device features a camera, a SIM card slot, and support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, giving it a similar physical footprint to a standard smartphone.
What sets the Rabbit R1 apart is its AI-driven interface that replaces the traditional grid of apps. Instead of manually opening and navigating individual applications, users simply talk to the built-in AI assistant to complete tasks across various services.
This AI assistant handles complex, multi-step actions like researching vacation destinations, booking flights, queuing up music playlists, or ordering a cab. The first batches of the device ship to users later in 2024, though early availability remains highly limited.
