Reviewing the Rabbit R1: An AI tool that is enjoyable, but still in the early days.

In this mini-episode, hosts Jacob and Jeffrey explore the Rabbit R1, a new AI pocket device. Jacob, an early adopter, praises its minimalist design, physical scroll wheel, and privacy features. The Rabbit R1 can play music, summon Ubers, translate languages, and more—all without traditional apps.

However, it lacks functionalities when compared to Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant. Despite its shortcomings, Jacob finds it innovative and fun, especially for his kids, who love its AI-generated images and voice-activated responses. If you’re into cutting-edge tech and can handle a few rough edges, the Rabbit R1 could be worth a look.
