The Rabbit R1 is the latest AI-infused hardware to hit the market, and after managing to get my pre-order in for "Wave 1," it finally landed on my doorstep. This has been my first experience with such a device — as I decided against the Humane AI Pin and have yet to grab the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses — and I have a few thoughts on my first day with it.
That's not to say that I haven't dabbled with AI as I continue to tinker with a combination of ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity. But the Rabbit R1 intrigued me for a few reasons, namely the much lower price compared to the AI Pin, along with the idea of having a smart device without relying on apps.
