I'm planning to giveaway one of my Rabbit R1 devices (the one I purchased, unaffiliated with Rabbit). I'll be announcing how to enter for the chance to win soon!
Please show us PHI 3 on Android
the link to careerist isn't even in your description...
Looking at your review, I'm screaming inside. 😊 I want this toy-like cute early AI machine rabbit r1. My nephew, my parents, and even myself must be full of utilization.
@@user-bm1lk8nf4t are you sure it is not sponsored?
Can the Rabbit R1 be used to summarize a paper document you are looking at?
Plz don't cut when showcasing how fast responses are. If it's as fast as you say it is, then it shouldn't even have to be cut. Right? Every example you gave was cut, so I don't know how fast the response is. 4:37
That's what I'm saying... is it sponsored or not? I think Matt is on the wrong side of this one. Courted by a little access and they immediately buckle. Incentives totally out of whack.
He is apparently lying, no intelligent person like this thing unless they are paid for.. and this makes you wonder what else he was lying about..
He is probably using an AI editing tool to cut out white space and didn't think twice about it.
GREAT catch! Was so obvious...that its easy to miss oddly. Funny thing is, I thought I was paying attention. lol. thx again.
why would you trust YT influencers that get paid to do so called "honest reviews" lol. Buy it yourself and test it. If you do not like it, return it.
Your phone does 99% off all this Already 😂. Waste of money
Yeah, i wish things like copilot could access the camera though
100% of all this
Ya, and my phone can actually do it easily too. Considering that you can install Pi, let's just say your phone does 100% of it.
“I have a decently sized hand” subtle flex
The color orange and the claim of decently sized hands ... Hmm 🤔
What’s the point when I have the ChatGPT app on my iPhone with GPT4 and voice / image etc etc?
They want you to pay them instead of the company that designs your phone. That is the point.
its faster and soon you can train it to do things on the internet and pc for you like open photoshop or liking a twitter post
@@GatTheCat Even the slowest phones on the market these days have faster hardware than this. Soon (already?) phones will ubiquitously have everything useful a rabbit could ever hope to provide.
@@thomassynths But the Rabbit isn't doing anything local. Meaning it's going to be as fast as your phone for the same task. That said, I agree that I don't really understand the point of the device beyond having a dedicated conversation device. Something for kids maybe to play with?
@@thomassynths Very solid point Thomas. Once apple does their thing... will all their integrations... ?
It’s the kind of toy you get excited about, play with for a day or two then put away in a drawer. Never to be seen again 😀
Is “no subscription fee” sustainable?
"The world's knowledge in your palm"
Yeah, those things have been around for a while, smartphones xD
Why is everyone cutting out the latency after making a request, especially if you're trying to demo how long it takes to get a response (?)
Users interact with the Rabbit R1 device, but the actual AI processing and execution of tasks happens remotely on Rabbit's cloud infrastructure, which the device then relays the results back to the user
and on-device a.i. is coming - probably some Apple announcements in June for a start
@@100eibbor Very poor quality stuff perhaps. The battery drain won't be anything to laugh about either.
My eyes immediately and instinctively roll. Why? How did anyone think these ridiculous things needed to exist.
Very happy you came and made a real review after the sponsored video because rabbit is sponsoring so many videos and I don’t know what to watch 😂
The mental gymnastics required to say "this couldnt be an app" when infact, it very much can be an app.... and you can order Sushi on an app in 5 seconds.
There's literally nothing that could ever make me wanna bring ANOTHER device with me everywhere that could just as easily be an app. And I can't for the life of me understand why anyone actually would want something like this... Like, there are literally 0 use cases as far as I can think of...
Exactly. Apple and the Android companies will integrate AI into smartphones in the next year. They have access to all our data and they have the money and expertise to do it. Rabbit won’t be able to catch up in time (that’s my prediction).
What if you wanted to use your phone and the device at the same time? It's easier with 2 screens and a separate camera.
Well, I think you answered your own question. If you can think of anything you'd use it for, it's not for you, but I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who'd find some use from this type of device. I have some use cases for something like this myself, but just in a different form factor.
The problem with AI right now is that it can't talk to other apps. The company that figures out how to do that will make a killing. Rabbit is trying to do it, but I think they should have waited until they could talk to more important apps and services.
Im interested in trying the teach mode to perform automated tasks on adobe premiere, Social media, email, etc. idk about the capabilities tho it sounds like they are still working on that side of the system.
As much as I love the design, and promised convenience, It looks like they are going the route that most companies choose to do these days which is releasing a half made program and letting the first iterations be corrected by paying users which has gotten exhausting lol
That being said I think this device will breed innovation through users working with it on things it may have not even been originally designed for.
But ChatGPT can do all of this already and you don't have to bring a second device with you. Plus, on your phone, you can use any LLM you want and aren't bound by their 4 app ecosystem.
4:40 having a cut in the footage when trying to showcase the devices response time is a NO GO. Sorry pal but to me that is a sign of untrustworthiness. That was really bad!
I thought I imagined it first time. This might explain why he's saying so many positive things about an absolutely awful product. I mean, it's totally rubbish and some of the glowing comments are sus also. "I think I'll get one for my grandparents so I dont have to keep ordering food for them"... ya, that's a use case that was demonstrated alright.
This might be a good way for the elderly to use AI and the internet. Might buy one to my aunt.
literally my first thought so I dont have to order food for my grandparents every. single. time.
I was thinking about it for my Sister-in-law. She is blind, and I have been really excited to see what AI is going to do for her! For sure, control of the settings via voice will be needed for this!
Do you think she'll pay the internet bill and remember to charge the battery just to use this devilry?
@@markmuller7962hahaha please tell me calling it "devilry" is a joke. Hahahaha
why not get them an ipad instead? something that actually works?
I can't see how this is better than a smartphone with a dedicated side button to activate AI...
Please not again a dedicated button...this button is horrible already on my Samsung phone!
@@swannschilling474 I can see this on a Pixel!
@@MarkLayton Did you every own a Samsung phone with that Bixby button? Its like that Internet button on your stone age flip phone! Its cursed!!! 😂😂😂
I have never fully comprehended the animosity directed towards the Bixby Button, particularly after its re-mapping capability was introduced.
@@swannschilling474 I was thinking more like a dedicated button on a pixel phone to call up Gemini Pro or any other LLM you choose. 😁
I think that AR glasses will be in the near future a better way for using an AI agent.
I think so too, but technology for AR glasses is still not mature enough for a version of R1 to be effective. I think that's why limitless and O1 for example are just pendants with no screens.
I have DUSK and Rayban glasses that have cameras, tint changing electronically, phone call, music and voice assistance. So far that is good enough for me.
I've ordered one and excited to check it out. Hopefully some of the lack luster features will be improved as feedback rolls in and they begin distributing updates.
So this is transparently installing apps locally, like Spotify, and your auth tokens are on the device? Or are these apps running in a datacenter somewhere?
I believe it's all running via virtual machine in the cloud and just displays the results via the Rabbit screen. Which is a touch screen by the way and I bet that's what Matthew missed while trying to order from DoorDash.
I am looking for videos of the R1 that are not cut after asking it a question and before it responds. Each time, after you ask it a question the video is cut and then the R1 responds. Without a linear video I really don't trust the length of time it takes to respond. From the editing of this video (and all the others I have watched thus far), the rabbit is so slow that the delay has to be cut out to keep the video moving forward.
Why did you skip the time it takes to answer the question on how to create the game snake in Python? 4:03
yeah, why not give it more riddles like all the other LMs you test??
Did it just show up or did they send you a shipping notice? (Part of the first batch but I haven’t received any updates).
Is the simcard slot for a microsim or normal sim ? Thx for answering 😊
Just ordered mine today as it so happens to be my birthday 🥳 so excited for this
hpbd
If there is really potencial here, I think Google, Apple and other phone manufacturers will just include that on the phones making one again other startup obsolete.
Yep, this would be my primary concern. For sure, the Rabbit is a neat device. But safe bet that a year from now, a lot of phones will add a dedicated AI button that let users quickly enter some sort of AI chat mode (perhaps even using their preferred AI model under settings). And a lot of people will then choose to carry one less device. However, I think the Rabbit could have potential as a device targeted to those who need a simpler interface (young children, non-tech savvy senior citizens, and so on). Though they might want to make the screen a bit larger and offer font size adjustment settings if marketing to older folks.
Yeah exactly
Totally agree. Waiting for WWDC to see what “rabbit” Apple pulls out of their hat ;-)
10:00 it is run through a virtual box on a server/cloud nothing is installed on the R1. Like when you signed up for the Spotify, it was a virtual terminal you saved your account info to. Then it runs an instance to just auto sign into the site with your account info.
I honestly am starting to believe at this point that a personalized AI device in some form could be the future, Whether it's a device that sits in your hand or sits in your home. Just gonna be lots of prototypes and growing pains till we get there. Great first steps.
I think the best thing Rabbit did with the R1 is make it look more like a toy rather than humane who made it look like some hyper professional tool so you instinctively know what you are getting into just by looking at it.
I can’t see why a smart tv with Web OS can’t do this now.
I agree. But i think it is the form factor, toy-like, is the key. For kids who are curious this is a really cool idea. Get them away from watching videos but still allies them to quench their curiosity.
I think that due to the nature of AI, it's likely that custom tailored or unique devices might become more common place. Even as higher end and more polished devices designed by companies become more established. As AI improves, people should theoretically be able to devise their own solutions based on their specific use cases.
Users interact with the Rabbit R1 device, but the actual AI processing and execution of tasks happens remotely on Rabbit's cloud infrastructure, which the device then relays the results back to the user
its likely Apple will announce on-device A.i in June (WWDC) lots of efficient small a.i. models and new chips in development elsewhere too, so the personal device may turn out to be the one already in your pocket.
I have no idea why you'd want this over a regular smart phone with an AI assistant.
Plenty of reasons: smartphones come with a lot of distractions that you may not need every moment of your day
Secondly, this is great for kids or elderly who are not great with phones
Exactly!
I think the phones will very shortly utilize much better (than they currently have) AI and then they will have much better capabilities.
phones can’t do what the rabbit can currently so it’s a better choice
I am just figuring out what the Rabbit can do that my phone will not do? Will prefer Rabbit to be app base product to install and pay subscription fee. I already have too many devices in my pocket, no need for one extra. Thank you..
FINALLY, and actual review that addresses problems and shortcomings
I can't wait for mine. Did it have a memory? also can it remember previous conversation? like I tell rabbit that I am living in city a. when I ask about weather can it find the right weather for city a? thank for the video
Thanks for the review torture!!! I guess i shouldn't have slept on the decision to order mine.... Guess it'll be another 6-8 weeks. And, as a mobile dev, I can't wait until I can get geeky with it! +1 to you sir for a good review!
I'm wondering if Spotify works so well because Spotify itself already integrates with multiple devices easily (such as my phone with my Tesla; my phone with my desktop, etc.)? Could it be that the R1 is just taking advantage of this rather than actually fully utilizing their LAM as with their DoorDash integration?
Teenage Engineering hits another homerun for hardware design. This looks like it was inspired by their work designing the Playdate.
You said the response time was like 2 seconds but then you immediately cut the video
thanks for sharing! my NYU backed startup is creating LLM and VLM powered efficient ways of living, shaped by my lived experience as a person with visual impairment so your post is super interesting! WIth the battery life issue, if I get a R1 to use on my long daily NYC walks wth my cane, I might have to keep it connected to my battery pack?
Sounds like it's always on recording everything in your house. Hope someone scans it with a Wireshark to see where your data really going!
I ordered one after hearing your first review. Now I’m a little nervous but I’ll let you know when I’ve had it for a while it’s going to be June or July before I get mine.
Your "honest review" seems contradictory. You concluded this to be "worth it" while offering more arguments for the fact that ir is really not. It’s an absolute shame that companies are allowed to release half-baked products to the marketplace and sell based on the promise of what their product is “going to be” rather than what it actually is and offers. These devices are a prime example of tech companies taking advantage of the hype created on social media while leveraging attractive design. Shoppers in our era are making uneducated decisions based solely on looks.
This
Guy got paid by rabbit like he gets paid for everything he says.. about every product on this channel 😅 he is just a puppet.
Nowadays companies are moving in a fast pace to move to be the first. This is totally understandable seeing how the pace of AI is improving. However, for the past month the people at Rabbit Tech have released a bunch of updates (they have basically released updates every week since the beginning of the month) to address a bunch of issues (like battery life, time and GPS). I have this device and it is extremely useful and look forward to more updates. They are listening to the community and are releasing updates based on suggestions from the community (they are in discord). So, in my opinion, it is definitely worth it. The most recent update (5/23) was awesome, adding new features to the device that enhance the experience. I bought two more, one for my son and one for my wife. If you are a student, the device definitely helps. It gives pictures along with the answer to a question. The fact that we can all talk to the device (and not have to type) and it understands (even my wife who has an accent) us makes it awesome. Does it have issues, yes (it few steps to adjust volume, the WiFi works but not as well with a hotspot (that may be my phone's issue, it does not have a timer or reminders(yet)). But at $199 - it was definitely worth it for us.
So why did you cut the footage how fast is it really?
Because he's not to be trusted.
What about security? How do you log in to the device (phone equivalent--fingerprint login, keycode, face)? What if someone steals yours? Just haven't seen how they manage a 'login' (voice fingerprint?).
They have mentioned a series of scrolls on the wheel and clicks in a certain rhythm combined together to act as your passcode.
Great review 🎉
It looks to me like some toy from 80's. When phone manufacturers start doing same this will eventually die.
What else it is able to do? Can it automate some typical actions in android app for me like?
Basically like having the ChatGPT app or Claude app with voice interaction?
Great companion device for the eldery.
Technically shaking it and orientation are also inputs (getting to settings and terminal mode). It also has touchscreen in terminal mode (but bizarrely nowhere else lol).
k, but can I pipe its voice into my earbuds that are tethered to my phone that I'm already listening to all day? What if you want to use it in a noisy environment like a restaurant, club, family home, etc. Does it confuse voices easily? Does it misunderstand as often as other speech to text systems? etc. etc. etc .
Yes you can use Bluetooth to connect. There has not been enough testing to answer if its good in a crowd. But you can use terminal mode to type your questions.
I’m so excited to get it 😎
Great job Matt, I'm happy waiting for mine, it might have those updates. Getting the repetitive stuff done automatically is what I need.
Do you think tha as it is can one use as assistant note taking scheduling and simple accounting?
To use the r1 for those purposes?
Matthew this was a really good review. Thanks for doing it the way you did. I’ve been kicking myself for not pre-ordering one and I had plans to order one pretty soon. But now I think I’m gonna hold off. The main thing that I wanted the rabbit for was to teach it how to do things within the applications I use for work. And several of them are not going to be Widely known or popular applications. So when you show the four apps or services that it works with now and it doesn’t seem to work very well with them, that kind of makes me doubt how easy and well it’s gonna work with apps that I want to teach it to use. so I’m sure you’re planning this already, but I would love to see a review of you teaching it to use apps that we would use in business, like CRM’s databases spreadsheets services like DocuSign things like that. If the rabbit could get to the point where it was easy to teach how to do certain activities and basically automated, I would be thrilled. That’s what I thought it was going to be out of the box. Again, thanks for a great review. I really appreciate it and enjoy your channel.
Show us some of the document creation things from the launch presi.
I think that a back button would go a long ways, perhaps a different shape for tactile differentiation.
really love your videos, always well done!
Just a comment:
I asked the same questions to Microsoft Copilot on my android phone as you did on the Rabbit R1 and Copilot gave also good and correct answers, although maybe a second slower.
I would still prefer an app on my phone, which I carry around all the time. Or as an alternative: an app on my smartwatch.
I've ordered two - I'm in Europe so will probably receive it in july/August and hoping for a lot of updates before then ;)
Can it be used conversationally? I.e. tell it to talk to me in español then practice my Spanish with it?
I ordered mine in the first wave!! I am STILL waiting to get the shipping email, but it should be arriving ANY DAY!!! I'm STOKED!!! :D :D
Teach mode is going to change computing! It is crew ai but visual teaching agents. Super powerful
I ordered one, but don't understand why all the controls are not voice activated, I agree with you that this should be one of the first things rather than shake and scroll, but as it is ages till I get mine perhaps they will solve that, with updates
Can you turn off 5g and use lte to save battery?
Ordered mine back in January and looking forward to it--I hope to use it more for AI conversations and journaling, which I think you covered very well in both your recent videos. Thanks for the candid review! :D
So does this replace the free MetaAI they put on my messenger without my permission?
Eagerly awaiting mine and will be looking for ways to utilize it with Open Interpreter and possibly Friend wearable.
How did it work out?
Kinda knew from the start that the quirky form-factor was gonna be a challenge. Kinda reminds me of that novelty handheld game console that has a hand-crank as one of it's built-in controls...
you should do a video and run it through the same test you do for any new model just to see how it stacks up
It would be nice if they delivered. I've been waiting for mine since the first week of January.
when am i gonna get mine its been forever
They have the solid foundation, hopefully they don't waste it
This is giving me vibes of the pocket PC in the movie "Her".
It won't be long until these devices are as powerful as the ones in the movie. 😃
They should make a recharging case maybe something sleek looking
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Love your videos, one of my favorite CZcamsrs now!
Why you cut every time between you asking and the response?
Didnt they already address the Doordash issues in the reveal prior to handing them out? He did an entire section on how it was slow and not up to their standards because something to do with the API/inface for doordash works. But that it would be improved upon in later updates.
Yes, just like most of the features. They will be pushed live and improved.
Hopefully it will be possible to connect it to ollama for having a really personal device
It runs on Android? But you login to your services via a VM that is opening a Chrome web browser? Also it shows Chrome webplayer in Spotify. I don't think the "LAM" stuff is real, if it is why can't they show the cursor moving or the "LAM" clicking on stuff in the VM live?
So maybe I missed it, but I am trying to figure out why this thing needs to be its own device. What can this do that the Chat GPT app cannot? And does that justify a whole separate device? I mean can you see yourself walking around with your phone and this thing in your pocket? Getting in and out of your car? Dragging it with you to your next meeting?
Chat gpt can not interact with an app, or many apps. Soon, after testing it, we will be able to teach the rabbit to interact with specific apps like photoshop.
No headphone port? Why do these people design these things assume that we want peoplehere our conversations?
bluetooth
@@matthew_berman Yeah but a wire option would be nice. Wonder if you can through the USB-c like apple?
Agreed. my phone still has a 3.5mm audio jack
I can not imagine more about having this Rabbit as an Ar glasses
It seems like you can't really do anything with it... I mean what about that is useful?
So, Perplexity has an iOS app. I'm curious for tests to compare that to the Rabbit R1. I feel like that's a pretty decent comparison that I haven't seen made yet.
This is not against sponsoring policy ? Like you did one then dit another one and being completly honest like do they accept that ?
Heh, pretty sure they love it. The review was a very good one. Title != To Content :P
i doubt they'd to be that restrictive over a first impressions agreement. ideally they'd hope for a more thorough review and more coverage yo follow. the short turnaround is weird in this space, but as he said, he's not actually a tech reviewer. such a short turnaround is par for the course with ai content.
Yes, I told them that up front.
Along similar lines, kids could be a big user base
The previous video was NOT a comprehensive review, but a "first impressions".
Jesse said on this unpacking party (or whatever it was called) that doordash makes problems because of the website. But honestly, if you don't want it to be difficult, I think in rabbit it might be even easier. I look forward what they will come up with those more or less physical agents.
"It's gorgeous"
It has a blackberry feel. It's a first draft of what this device needs to be, but will not be the final design. My guess is it goes in your phone. Why do I need a separate device to carry around? Can't this just be incorporated in a cell phone?
Other reviewers also complained on the battery life. The OS needs tuning, like several other areas of the software. The rate of resolving the issues to coming say 6 months determines how succesfull this device will become. On top of expanding new functionality.
Thanks. Nice and honest review. I'd buy it as a co-working partner if I could ask questions by just saying "Hey rabbit" but I don't see that feature so I keep using gpt voice.
You edited out most of the response delays. I wonder why.
can you add apps like spotify?
Surely the most obvious use case is being able to answer questions about what the device has recorded. Isn’t that well within the potential capabilities of AI LLMs?
Your honest review went out the window after you said watch how fast when I ask it about that civil war movie.. .YOU MADE A DIRECTORS CUT. What went wrong, 95% says its slow and always says let me think first befire giving answer. HERES MY HONEST REVIEW. If it can read menu, signs, bill boards, news papers etc. It will be worth it just for that since it cost $2000.00 for glasses that see and reads everything.
This should have been an app. I love the features it provides but no reason to have separate hardware. Why charge two devices when this could have all been brought into a a device already in almost everyone's pockets.
their rabbit os have potential to be like OS 10 from movie her, i would pay for the OS to put on my computer
Mine is on the way, i hope. bought it primarily because 1) AI 2) Teenage Engineering hardware design
What about privacy? Do they keep all the things you ask em? As how Google keeps a History of the locations you go to turn that off.
Great review, thanks. I ordered one but am in France so I still have a couple of months to wait but maybe some of the first issues you presented will be ironed out by then. Keep it coming, I really appreciate all your reviews.
this is somone who isn’t spoiled by metal slabs and thinks if it isn’t made of metal or glass it’s cheap garbage.
good to see.
Waiting for my R1 to arrive. I'm batch 3
Imagine if that could be scaled down to the size of a wristwatch.
