About the brand ❤️
Rabbit r1 is an AI-powered personal assistant device developed by Rabbit Inc, a U.S. technology startup based in Santa Monica, California. Launched in January 2024, r1 is designed as a compact, voice-activated handheld gadget that uses large action models and cloud-based AI (including integrations with ChatGPT and Perplexity) to execute tasks such as answering complex queries, translating languages, summarizing content, and performing actions on behalf of the user. The device runs a custom Rabbit OS based on Android and features a touchscreen, push-to-talk button, and rotating camera, aiming to offer an alternative way to interact with digital services without relying entirely on traditional smartphones. Rabbit Inc was founded by Jesse Lyu and supported by venture backing, including funds from Khosla Ventures and others. Despite generating significant early interest and selling tens of thousands of units, the Rabbit r1 has faced mixed reviews about its functionality and practicality compared with conventional mobile devices. Nonetheless, Rabbit continues to develop software and expand availability, positioning r1 as part of the evolving category of consumer-oriented AI devices.
