As an AI tech writer, lecturer and enthusiast obsessed over wearable AI devices its great to see the unique approach of rabbit with their "large action model" which was a new foundation model designed to understand human intentions and adapt to those requests. Great to see what the founders and team at rabbit are building.

@vincentkoc Is it wearable? I haven't seen anything saying it was. Still super interesting tech here!
Vincent Koc
@aaronoleary its technically a wearable, but will be a small device you “carry”

How does this compare with the Humane Ai Pin? Will Rabbit become an MVNO?
Aaron O'Leary
@chrismessina Both occupy the same space for me: 1. They excite me a lot because they feel very sci-fi become real 2. I didn't understand 100% what they do at launch.

Ok whoa! I saw the video yesterday and as a millennial who grew with a Tamagotchi... I want one. Can't wait to see how this unfolds but you already got a fan.

@bodegalaabs Tamagotchi for adults should be the entire marketing strategy

After watching the keynote, I'm highly dubious this rabbit will hop. The industrial design is gorgeous (thanks TE!) but the meandering keynote was basically a collection of recent agentive AI hacks (basically using LangSmith or similar) to execute tasks. Definitely the future, but I'm not convinced Apple and other device makers won't disrupt themselves to bring these innovations to market. The post-app future was also the one we were building towards in the bot era — but it turns out human eyes are an essential aspect of any computing experience, which the rabbit CEO even demonstrated and admitted to ("We're not trying to replace your phone!"). $199 is far too low a price point to be able cover customer service and marketing needs unless he has Bytedance-level money to spend on growth.

@chrismessina This is the sort of critical thinking that I want to see on a product like this. It looks super cool and the price point is hard to resist. But will I still be using it in, say, a year's time?

@chrismessina this is soo valid, after watching the entire keynote i was not convinced but the key player here is the price point, its so low that markets with low income groups can also at least give this product a try (only if its cool) because masses can only tapped by either hype or immense value addition.

@thestarkster sure, but they'll need to be able to afford another cellular plan to make use of the device.
I'm absolutely thrilled to introduce you to the innovative Rabbit r1. This AI-powered pocket companion is truly a game-changer, offering a seamless and intuitive user experience. With its unique rabbit OS, users can now accomplish tasks in a tangible way, without the hassle of navigating through multiple apps. The standalone device is a breath of fresh air in the tech world, and I can't wait for you to experience its capabilities firsthand. It's a product that truly speaks for itself! If you have any questions or would like to discuss further, I'd be more than happy to chat. Let's dive into the exciting world of Rabbit r1 together!

I sure hope that that wheel spins nicely. Going to fidget with that control like there's no tomorrow.

nice idea - congrats on the launch!

If it is as powerful as the demonstration, it will be a revolutionary product. Congratulations on the release. 🎉

Very cool. I watched the whole 30m presentation which I was not intending to do. Good job following the apple presentation style - it you can't beat 'em, join 'em. The device reminds me of the iPod launch - existing tech wrapped in a new form factor with a new interface. It also reminds me a bit of the iPhone launch. It may be difficult for Rabbit. A lot of people didn't really get the iPod - I will never forget asking a retail guy to see the gen 1 ipod and he actually said to me that he didn't understand why anyone would want one (this was before Apple stores existed). On the other hand, if the r1 has quality construction and if their software is as good as it appears in the presentation then it could be very popular given the price point - possibly too popular, leading to supply issues. A very exciting product imo.
