Rabbit revises its R1 AI device with a significant operating system update, emphasizing touch functionality.

The Rabbit R1, a portable AI device launched in 2024, has undergone a significant transformation with the release of its latest software update, rabbitOS2. This update introduces a host of improvements, including an overhauled operating system and a touch-focused interface designed to make the device more user-friendly.

Initially, the Rabbit R1 was met with criticism for its buggy AI model and confusing interface. However, with the introduction of rabbitOS2, these issues have been addressed, providing a smoother and more intuitive user experience.

One of the key features of rabbitOS2 is the new tile-based user interface. This design allows users to quickly see the various functions the R1 can perform, making navigation easier and more efficient. The update also introduces a new function called "Creations," which enables users to "vibe code" and generate custom games on the device.

In addition to these new features, users can now adjust additional settings on the Rabbit R1's touchscreen. The update also provides a more transparent conversation flow, with users now able to see the flow of conversation on the device's screen.

Another notable feature is the ability to mute the AI assistant on the Rabbit R1 with buttons at the bottom. This gives users greater control over their interactions with the device.

The Rabbit R1 was not the only AI device released around the same time to receive criticism. The Humane AI Pin, another dedicated AI device, faced similar challenges. However, with the introduction of rabbitOS2, the Rabbit R1 is poised to reclaim its position as a leading AI device.

Rabbit Inc., the company behind the Rabbit R1, has raised $64.7 million over five funding rounds, demonstrating investor confidence in the company's vision and the potential of its products.

Reviewers initially labelled the Rabbit R1 as half-baked and too early. However, with the introduction of rabbitOS2, it seems that the Rabbit R1 is living up to its potential and providing users with a more seamless and enjoyable AI experience.
