Rabbit R1: Everything it Can (and Can’t) Do
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Deep dive into the Rabbit R1's capabilities and limitations, from identifying objects to ordering food, I review all the current features, along with its struggles with things like Uber and DoorDash. Spoiler: It’s not great.

Based upon the Star Trek mythology of tech devices, we will have three machines: the communicator, the tricorder, and the phaser. We already have the communicator (cell phone). Rabbit is the first incarnation of the tricorder, something that scans your environment. You can assume more analytical environment tools will be added, like temperature, ph levels, humidity, and so forth. The phaser will be coming soon.

I don't know. I feel, the smartphone can do all that, except for the gun phaser. All these AI tech should just be done on your smartphone. Once the actual AI models is well refine, companies will just put it into your phone anyway. It seem more practical that way. Unless, it's needs to be a specific separate device such as for medical or scientific use case, a smartphone will still be the best all-in-one device for most thing going forward, I feel. Lol.

This was a great review! A lot of other reviews I've seen so far kind of glorifies the R1 by doing relatively simple things and cutting response time from the video which is very misleading (I've seen videos from rabbit themselves and they actually don't cut the response time, so they might get blamed because other people misrepresenting them). Your review was very practical and showed all aspects of the device both good and bad, and I like how you indicated when you cut the response time. I am very interested in the device but i didn't like how other reviewers so far were not being completely transparent about the device, because even though it's very interesting, of course it not going to be perfect. Its early days of course, so I'm sure more and more reviews will be coming. Anyway, this was a great review.

You have be subscribed to use the 5 things it shows on the rabbit os. And there is the fact that Jessie said this is a brand new device. here's the list Jessie demonstrated at his opening party. 🎉 1. No teach mode 🚫 2. No scan to text ocr. 🚫 3. It can not rewire a switch diagram using vision 🚫 4. And it does not know when its next update is. 🤔 Right it's a paper weight until they fix those promises.

Like other French-speakers, I’m struggling with the quote you tried to get translated. «Je veux que le montant ignore les noms que j’ai dit (tout) la nuit»? (“I want the amount to ignore the names I’ve said all night”?). A human being would probably interact with you to get to what you meant. Maybe it’s too much to ask from these devices.

They do on occasion use voice to text, but it’s still a slog of of tapping a form box, tapping the mic button, recording a voice, checking if it is correct, deleting it and starting over it it’s wrong, etc. this takes forever - just watching them do this process makes me exhausted.
