Rabbit Introduces R1 and Rabbit OS


In UX and AI news, Rabbit introduces the R1 personal companion that leverages natural language models and a Large Action Model (LAM) to get things done across applications or web pages.


Targeting the disintegrated ecosystem of apps on smartphones, Jesse Lyu, the CEO and founder of an AI startup called Rabbit, ran through the rationale for the product and completed some compelling demos, which included things like booking a flight for a family with specific travel needs and planning an entire relaxed vacation itinerary. The pocketable device, co-designed by the delightful folks at Teenage Engineering, should begin shipping around Easter with an initial price of $199. It will be interesting to see if the interaction is fluid enough for users to make more room in their pockets for the handy assistant. Check out the introductory video below.
