There’s certainly no doubt that the Rabbit R1 is a very interesting device. As Rabbit founder Jesse Lyu describes it, it’s a kind of walkie-talkie for AI. And it’s already promised to be 10 times faster than your current digital assistant.
How does the Rabbit R1 work, and what does it actually do?
The Rabbit R1 is very much a work in progress – much like the originaliPadwas;Appledidn’t really know what that would be used for beyond maybe everything, and Rabbit is much the same with its AI assistant.
The device doesn’t pair with your phone, and it doesn’t connect to your apps directly. Instead, it uses a web-based gateway – much like your cloud-based apps already do – to act as a kind of go-between between your devices and your online services, whether those services are streaming or booking or shopping or anything else that lives online.
As the Rabbit R1 can learn how you use your apps, it can then operate them for you. For example, where you can get a ChatGPT-style system to create a holiday travel plan for you, the Rabbit can book your travel and accommodation. It’ll book your Ubers, answer your trivia questions and help you decide what to cook when you point its camera inside your fridge.

It’ll be fascinating to see whether the R1 lives up to its promise, and we won’t have to wait long to find out: the Rabbit R1 will go on sale in late March for $199.
