I can see this device being extremely useful to older people who have a hard time navigating through smart phones as well as children under 10

- so what does it do? - it’s like your phone but it does less

The whole selling point of the device is being able to interact with your apps. Why on earth did they only try one command that could be easily achieved by voice assistants already, and two which doesn't involve any apps.

So you have early access to a new device with an advanced AI that can control any existing app and the first thing you ask the age of Brad Pitt or play a song. Great, very useful.

I won’t spend $199 on this but I could spend $1999 their shares

I think I'll judge this device on something a bit more comprehensive than the 90 seconds provided here.

Hol up, Brad Pitt is 60 years old?!

I'm confused my phone can currently do all that stuff now? Lol

As someone who wants to spend less time on my phone and reduce screen time, I think this could be a great solution. It requires you to access information with intent, as opposed to doom scrolling and becoming easily addicted to visuals in applications. It's a great tech solution for those who want to be more present in their lives. My only question is about GPS capability whether it will allow you to use Google maps.

Imagine a folding phone that has rabbit R1 like features when closed, but opens up to a full smartphone.

Looks like a nice gift that you can give to a curious child

The video is edited with a cut after every question, in this way is impossible to tell the accurate response time, that is a crucial information for these kind of devices.

“I’ve only had a few minutes to check it out.”

I cannot see this thing taking off personally. Not when people already have phones in their pockets. This is not meant to replace your phone, it is an assistant. I think that once the novelty of a new device wears off these things will do nothing but collect dust. One big factor is that all of the hard work is being done on the servers in the backend anyways. So as you might expect Google, Apple and Amazon are all probably well aware of what this thing is and is potentially capable of... and get this, they will update their Siri, Alexa and Homes to do the same thing. It's not even far fetched, i bet within 6 months this thing will be overshadowed by the bigger companies. I would probably bet they would have something in testing prior to the actual release date of this thing (march-ish timeframe from what i heard)

That has to be the worst first impressions ever made.

I appreciate your effort in sharing your thoughts on the R1. In the future, it might be helpful to conduct more thorough research and testing before creating a video. This could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the product's capabilities. I understand the excitement of sharing content quickly, but taking the time to explore the R1's features could offer a more insightful perspective for viewers. This video felt like a waste of time to me. Constructive feedback can help improve the quality of the content. I believe the R1 has potential, and I'm looking forward to seeing more comprehensive reviews in the future. However, this video seemed like you tried to make a video without spending more than a few minutes on it - this is a waste of time for me personally. I would show better use case scenarios rather than asking silly questions to the device - this video makes the R1 seem like a useless kids toy, but I know it's much more than that. It would have also been way more interesting if you also did an unboxing of the product in addition to this.

I could see this being a great idea for time travelers

Awesome finally we have real world Jarvis now

You have a device marketed to interact seamlessly with other apps based on spoken instructions and are you asking it account security questions? Very helpful

everything this device can do can be done with a siri shortcut, you can even make one to speak to chatgpt. (I dont know how it works on android but its probably something similar) And the fact that it is voice ONLY means that when you just want to search something you are going to be spending ages for it to understand your request

It's not a smartphone replacement...it's literally a new class of electronic device..AI companions will have their own market n future integrations with tools like sora are gonna be mind blowing

Its best used to do tasks vs ask it questions. You can train it to do tasks on the applications you use for you. Great for productivity I think

The main problem with any voice assistants is that on the street they are a tool for extroverts. Still, here you need the ability to use the keyboard at least as an additional accessory and the ability to connect headphones. They can charge introverts for this if they want, but it's necessary if they really want their product to reach a wide audience.

The R1 seems really interesting and I want to see where the technology goes in the next 5 years

CNET doing this thing a disservice by only talking about voice assistance. This is actually a really cool device that is way more than just an AI assistant, but for some recent CNET failed to show that. It can connect to your smartphone at home and perform actions with your apps, as well as allow you to teach it new actions by just showing it a screen recording. It's kinda like if you had an intern at home that's actually doing the things on your phone or computer that you ask it to.

Siri or a simple search always does what I need

I wish foldable mobile device (like galaxy z flip) would implement this simple feature. An AI wakeup button, that's it.

Rabbit R1 makes alot of sense for people that consider money as no issue, and don't want the hassle of clicking on apps to order taxis, book holidays or ordering food and maybe do your taxes for you too. It automates heck out of alot of tasks, so you can focus on other things in life, like enjoying it.

I just got a rabbit r1 ad just before this😂😂😂

I see this as a great tool to use while im doing work and conducting research

I bet within a few weeks/months there will be an App for my Android phone that will do that and more.

Can you post this without edit between question and rabbit1’s response? I want to see the real time lag

Im not sure... But did they cut out the time they had to wait for the answers?

Looks like it could be useful when out and about but how do you access the internet?

I think it could be great for all kinds of people. When I’m studying, I can easily get distracted when I have to look something up on my phone. 3 hours later……I’ve been on KZfaq, IG and other social media apps, just from trying to look up one question 🤦🏾‍♀️

My $50 android phone can do this. Smartphones exists and there is already an app for that!

Idk if it has chat mode where i connect my headphones and do stuff on it while i walk and i dontneed to push a buttom that would be cool

I wonder why they made a physical product.. all of us already carry devices with screens, navigation buttons and speakers; couldn't it be sold as an App?

Can you control volume?

This just sounds like Siri with extra steps.

Basically a portable Alexa

Is it different with chat gpt app subscription? It's around 15 dollar right..?

To everyone talking about how it can do less and doesnt have apps: I read through their mission a while ago and it seems kind of cool. Its all about how we get consumed by the complexity of apps and what we can do, from binging reels to playing mobile games. They wanted to simplify things so we start using it more rationally instead of being the victim of algorithms designed to consume us.

so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

Expensive Google assistant that does less.

If only I had a device I carry on me all the time that can do this and more.

Does it need wifi to work?

Ooooh, a Mediatek chip in an AI assistant? That's interesting! Wonder how it stacks up against the usual Qualcomms. Gotta see some performance benchmarks!

So its just a portable Alexa? Which our phones pretty much already have with Siri, Bixby, and the google assistant?

Gotta ask it real hard tough questions, like what kind of ice cream does the big guy like?

Its a very useful device from them who want to be productivity but get distracted by their phones

Does it have a cellular modem?

Why would you want this when your phone practically does all the functions

As someone who is going bhlind , I think this would help me out so very much

Looks like an improved version of Apple's Siri with significant upgrades of NLP (natural language processing). Looks good for budget phone or for disabled people but will not replace a modern 2024 smartphone for the average consumer.

0:30 why skip the delays?

Did not mention, how it charges, how it connects to the internet? Is it a SIM card,

Siri in a rabbit costume

okayyy, not sure tho what this will do. Siri can do similar feats btw,

It’s a standalone Siri or Alexa I believe they are about 10 years too late unfortunately

So basically a Google device like the thing I'm typing on currently

Google assistant and Siri right now: Am i a freaking jokes to you?

Who and where does this device run through and where was it created

Extremely cool - I ordered one

lol this is already better than all of the version of Siri.

So I am carrying two devices around now? Ai assistant and a smart phone.

I’m lefty and won’t be able to use my right thumb, this seems to be a challenge.

It would be better if it has the setup from the megaman battle network with their AI and chip system to play

This thing does stuff for you. Like write me a resume based on my skills. Then it emails you the resume. She just asked it things. You can integrate your apps and sort of program it with a bit of ease. That's the point of difference to a phone. It's like Chat GPT in a device but no subscription.

Im struggling for a while now , considering buying an old "dumb" phone to replace my 'smart'phone. Tbh, its more distracting than useful. So why not , buying this R1 and test it out. Looks like future this concept of devices. Will give it a shot when its shipped to germany :D

Apple and Google will never make such a device, as it will ruin their app business model where they can earn commision money from developers making apps in their appstores. That's why Rabbit will be such a breath of fresh air.

Why should pay $199 when can do all this and more with your own smartphone?!!

Brad Pit's like "HOW YOU GOING TO DO ME LIKE THAT CNET!"

Can this interface with the Flipper Zero?

So how does it connect to the internet?

You could do the same thing with your phone. It’s called Siri.

Cute, I have one of those at home, it's called Amazon Alexa lol

*you know how you can book vacations or order pizza through the alexa speaker? The rabbit is that, but on steroids and in phone size. it responds in half of a sec*

How is it different than Alexa, which is also 100% voice activated?

The only benfit i could see from this is being able to instantly start asking a question, I’m getting anniyed with having to unlock my phone and texts calls or slow phone clicks accidently launching wrong apps

Is this a limited cellphone and even a limited smartwatch?

I definitely want to buy a share, but can’t find anything on these guys.

No volume buttons? What about power?

The main feature of the device is being able to do tasks..which you dont mention, but that is the key selling point and something a smartphone cant yet do.

What's the difference between this and saying 'OK google" on my phone.

I'm happy I never thought i wanted a cute little assistant Al This is future

This could have been an app....

The only main difference is you’ll be speaking instead of typing, meaning everyone in your vicinity will know what you want AND the machine will decide what you want, meaning, you have way too little control, for instance you want to check the pricing options of many things, moreover chat GPT right now has only 70% accuracy, so let’s say you want to go to Rome, it may take you to the wrong Rome in the world, maybe even a street. Even if one word is wrong by the AI, it can truly rip whatever you are doing apart. I’d like it as a collector item though.

She got an irl pokedex

fell like its just chat gpt and alexa on a little display with a speaker

Looks like the Playdate hand-held game console! 😊

Now we just have to wait for the production of the Rockman Personal Terminal (PET) to become a reality.

Could this replace my phone at home I have adhd but don't want to spend all day at home with my apps but need a virtual assistant to spell things and do work

Okay my Z Flip 5 is shaking

Nice, BUT: WHY DOES IT NEED A BUTTON to use it?

this feels a lot like the personal assistant from the movie Her from 2013 with Joaquin Phoenix.

flash with custom fw of course

So it's like a hey siri or ok google on the seperate device

So its a handheld alexa type thing

They could have very well built a Rabbit App for mobile devices, but that doesn't get you eyeballs.
