Rabbit r1 HONEST First Impressions: Is It Actually Useful?


With the rise of ChatGPT and large language models (LLMs), AI-dedicated devices have started coming out. The Humane AI pin was widely lambasted earlier this month when it launched, and now the Rabbit r1 AI assistant is out. With rumors that Apple is delving into AI in a big way, we thought we’d check out the Rabbit r1 to see what it can do and…

  1. Yes I missed the QR code on the packing. My bad. However I stand by my thought that at least a quick tutorial screen would have been a little more helpful.

  2. This is the first time seeing a mc rumors video I’m used to seeing articles about apple predictions given to me by Google or a different YouTube channel

  3. Rabbit is yet another product without a purpose. Based on the demo, this seems like version 0.75, not version 1.0. I was really struck when Siri did something better than the Rabbit. Wow, bested by Siri. So sad.

  4. "Let's make a clean-looking device with a minimum of buttons and control and then work around that self-imposed limitation by having the most convoluted user interface ever designed" is what I'm hearing.

    I also don't see the point of these devices. It's not new hardware that is not already in the smartphones we already own and carry everywhere, so I see no reason why these are not apps.

    And last, the most useful device is the one you always carry, and since it's always going to be your phone first, there's no point in buying and carrying a second device if it doesn't do anything much better than what your phone can already do, such as high-end cameras for professional users, etc.

    The only people this could interest are the owners of non-smart flip-phones but they're exactly the market that won't buy such a device in the first place.

  5. This is the Model A of these types of devices. Right now us purchasers are the crash test dummies for testing it and I’m confident it’ll be better relatively soon. I think..

  6. so many people dont get it, a phone is to much distraction's, this rabbid thing will make it simplier in the future not to stay allday on social media. i belief truely this thing can stepup the futuregame:)

    all people who comment on all those rabbid reviewes dont get the point, its sad. You all can download any apps, fillup your phone and scroll allday, have fun:)

  7. Wow, today I learned that Siri can access and play music from Spotify!!! I thought it only worked with Apple Music. Just tried it on my phone and it worked perfectly.
    Not sure what the rest of the video was about but this will be the best video I watched all week by learning this about my phone.

  8. I think this is another piece of tech that could of been an app, certainly not worth $199 and is yet another fad that will quickly be replaced by an app that can do all of the functionality. With the hope that AI that is coming to Apple at WWDC could enable Siri to do most of the functionality that this device can do. I don't see that this is going to replace a iPhone or Android, why take two devices out with you when your phone pretty much can do what you need it to do.

  9. The problem with this is simple. EVERYONE already has a phone with them. All that’s needed is a software update to include these AI features and these products are no longer relevant. Plus who wants to have yet another device in their pockets?

  10. Humane overstretches the imagination with poor execution,

    Rabbit underextends but with clearly better execution

    But no point doing comparison from a Vs iPhone incumbent perspective

    It's a diff form factor, diff focus and diff price point

  11. This and the Humane are really just good reminders of how great our phones are and why we don’t need to buy lesser gadgets. “Hey, do you like your apartment? Well, I’m offering something much cooler — it’s a closet you can go stand in.”
