thats not the problem, Android is a very good OS, and skipping all the unnecessary hassle of a full blown Android OS is not a bad thing for productivity this is a UX thing really organizing all the key AI features a mobile phone has, and optimizing it for daily use

So? Seriously are you stupid? Have you seen a calculator for example? Microwave? Any "one purpose" device? What the F is wrong with you people. Is the CO2 levels so high you don't get enough oxygen into your brains so you cannot grasp how the simpliest things work? That AI device is not a phone but its an AI device to use AI features?

@@SeanTube2099 Rabbit R1 also does not have a built in generate assistant. It cannot do anything, even answer trivia questions, without access to the cloud. Exactly like a smartphone. All of the generative AI components it uses live on servers in the cloud, not on the device. And you can just as easily use ChatGPT or some other generative AI app on your phone which will also use generative AI components that live on servers in the cloud.

Questions: 1) Did she mention that you either need wifi/hotspot or a sim card aka a separate data plan from your phone? 2) Did she recharge from the 15% at noon before heading to Battery Park? 3) Are you able to confirm the Uber address on the screen before a driver is assigned? I can only imagine the clusterF if it sends you to the wrong address
Wait, so you're telling me this device that has the battery life of a Christmas card, has a camera resolution of 1 megapixel, incorrectly answers questions, has some outrageous UI design flaws, only costs 200 dollars? TAKE MY MONEY

How many pieces does it shatter into after you smash it on the ground really hard, and can you follow up with a video where you do it.
It’s funny you keep using your phone 😂😂😂 it makes the rabbit r1 kinda similar to the humane Ai pin
So, it’s a voice activated app? Wait, I already have one of these. Aside from the form factor, not sure what innovation this brings to the table, and I’m not convinced this will perform as well in practice as it did in the keynote.

All the R1 really does is show you just how OP your phone is. It was an impossible thing to sell but they went for it. I do love the design but what I'm really saying there is I love what Teenager Engineering do. Also you can tell the quality of a channel by how they feature things like this. There was some honesty but they really had to search for something, anything it could do. They just didn't remind you that all of that can be done better through your phone for no additional cost.
This is basically a physical device that was built for a mobile app... im pretty sure a better alternative app would be available by end of year.
Still trying figure out what it can do that my mobile can't do.

You can't just ask your phone with voice alone to generate images on midjourney or use an uber. It will be better with updates and will do way more, the battery draining extra fast is completely solved with a recent update it can run all day now... The problem is that this devices functionalities will be absorbed by google through android and open interpreter is making a phone assistant, apple although really slow with AI will also make an AI agent assistant ... I have said it from the beginning, this product's success is redundant, they should have made a whole smartphone or an app.

The only use case would be if you wanted to leave your phone at home, but still had basic stuff you needed to get done and didn’t know where to eat and were curious about your surroundings. I don’t get it honestly

Beside the learning feature (which isnt even available at the moment) i would say ChatGPT and copilot are just as convenient. Once they have access to the camera they can do literally the same thing on a device you already have on you at all times. But maybe im dumb.. and i mis something
Appreciate the time showing it, so I don’t waste my time looking at it. Definition of waste of money….. thx I’ll skip going down the rabbit hole, was tough for Alice back in the day
I don’t feel sorry for whoever funded this.
They recently updated the software that addresses the location issue (setting time zone), battery life, scroll wheel speed and more.
"They invented the iPod in the Smartphone era"
I love that orange colour .. so striking in a good way
This is the first review I hear the word "faster" about these AI pins
It looks like a nice idea, not quite finished/polished. Seems to be frustrating to use, and she kept having to go back to her phone for maps, or translating the Spanish book, her Uber ride, etc... Not sure who its aimed at though, as pretty much everyone has a more capable mobile phone in their pockets.
There’s already an update out to extend the battery life.
The fact that you can’t even turn up or down the volume during use is absolutely insane 😅 such a simple thing and they forgot about simple convince

A fancy orange box! Sure lol
Why would anybody carry that thing when we all have a phone? Also, being that the LLM and everything else run on the cloud, why not making an app instead? The only interesting features supposedly coming soon LAM, teach mode are not present.
Why do people keep highlighting "features" like asking the weather and taking voice memos? I have a 5-day weather forecast on my phone's lockscreen, no questions asked, and have a lockscreen shortcut to directly record a voice memo which doesn't get locked into a "Rabbit Hole". Google Assistant, Maps, and Lens do everything else shown in this video. Or even faster if you just open an app and do a search in 2 seconds. As for things like Uber and DoorDash, you're waiving the opportunity to use promotions/coupons and end up overpaying. You also need to visually see where your Uber/delivery is on a map, anyway. There's nothing "AI" about any of the things shown here. Also, if it's not clear by now, voice is a terrible interface for the majority of tasks. Visual/touch is far faster and accurate. Useless e-waste.
Basically like walking around with Alexa 😂🤣😂
I bet that this will go down to $10 and still passed up by most.
I rather buy another mobile. Wait, but my current mobile can do all of this!
I'm going to Wait for Version 2 or 3.
Essentially all AI devices can not be apps because the gate kepers, aka phone manufacturers, will not give it full access to operate as intended. It's kinda like when Elon got rejected from buying a Russian rocket engine and building his own
So it does everything an app does, but without all the benefits of a phone and apps like maps? So it does less and much worse … nice 👍🏻
1min in and it's like "pretty simple to setup i just have to do this, this, connect to this, go to this site, do this..." XD
It doesn’t even have an alarm clock or reminders.
Isn’t unsafe to ask Uber to pick in a certain location out loud😂😂
This is not my review? 🤔
You can just ask Siri to take a note and it does it faster.

The Rabbit R1 is basically not worth it
A case study on what happens when you don't ask your product development team "could this just be a piece of software, like an app?" She's noticeably unexcited about this review. Cancelling my order
I have always hated all voice assistants, and this voice assistant is no different.
Wow! It's a standalone but dorkier SIRI.
So what was that one thing you could not do with an iPhone/Android ? Also, How many times do you have to ask and wait for those kinda questions - say calling Uber? Total wait time vs Touch screening the whole experience?
I think we all too eager to see something that is for adding to instead of subtracting from our experiences with Google or Apple, or whatever that forms our lives. It’s only a first generation product, and let’s be honest, didn’t Google assistant or Apple Siri still struggle in some areas with AI after decades spent building formidable advantage over new companies? I will give it a even on the AI field with its competitors such as Google and Apple, none of their tech impressive enough to me without using hardware upgrade and price control when their newness coming out. I would like to see something new on the market instead of getting weary on what’s new with Apple’s same old competitive edge, M3, M4, M5 to add up their computing capabilities. Picasso didn’t own an iPad to become a Legend, so sometimes we might have to think what really makes a piece of art great? Computing?
My iPhone: Rabbit, I can do all that and more…faster and better !!
Points the camera at self: "what am I looking at?" Orange box: "Carrot top."
That’s because GPS is not gonna be available right at lunch. GPS is coming later.
A device with a camera, speaker and mike connected to our phone is what we need.
>smart phone >google lens what are we doing here people

Cool... I'll stick to my smartphone/google assistant.
Faster than my phone 😏
Didn’t it come out that’s it’s just an Android app?
yes it's cheap.. but after 5 minutes it just frustrates you and makes you whip out your smartphone to accomplish whatever task is at hand.
people making money off the AI hype it reminds the interesting fact that the movie barbie spent more money on the marketing than the movie itself & it works. to me, as an engineer - it's a total waste of money. but who knows, maybe that's where i am wrong.
Making it ‘traffic cone orange’ is the first sign that this is an expensive, plastic toy.
Looks like a Pokedex time to start our journey.
I still dont get the purpose of this device. More E waste
the r1 apk was dumped and can be used on android devices.
Shd lost me at tiny
Using your smartphone is still better and so the rabbit is a beta device and so I will not buy it and I can save 2 hundred bucks and don’t have to worry about carrying two devices plus I have a Apple Watch also and so this device is not needed for me.

Pay extra money to do what your phone can do only slower and worse and more cumbersome. Genius.
So, a phone that’s smaller and does much less.
0h good...another Newton. Why release this iteration if it's not ready. The concept seems viable but it looks like it wasn't ready. Promising yet disappointing...sigh
now you guys learned? don't fall for AI scams. the pin, this box, all useless! I'm sorry but just get a phone... it's worth it
Feels a bit lackluster for now, but I could see future iterations replacing smartphones as we have them now. I imagine the connected devices of tomorrow will integrate features like the AI powered camera to become like personal assistants for their users. It just feels like it needs to become super fast at all the tasks it does. That way it will actually become faster than typing. Right now the Rabbit R1 seems to be sort of an enhanced "siri"
Kid's toy
I can’t imagine why anyone would want this. An iPhone can do all this and more and faster.
