Rabbit R1, an AI assistant that fits in the palm of your hand, has taken the tech world by storm after attracting attention at CES 2024. From its retro-style looks and bright orange chassis to its AI capabilities and portable design, the Rabbit R1 has sold out with 10,000 units sold in one day.
Clearly, there’s a lot of interest in this pocket-sized companion. After all, as The Verge points out, it can buy groceries on your behalf, control your music, send you text messages, and more. Use your voice and simply ask for what you want, and in theory, your wishes should be granted.
Jesse Lyu, CEO and founder of Rabbit, took the Rabbit R1 a step further and showed us how the sleek-looking pocket rocket handles audio.

Liu said: “Start taking notes.” On the 2.88-inch screen of the Rabbit R1, an animation of rotating the cassette spindle appeared, indicating that it was “listening”.
After playing the audio clip for a few seconds, Lyu pressed a physical button on the Rabbit R1 to stop recording. It says it captured your audio and says: “Your session has been saved down the rabbit hole.”
Lyu navigates to the Rabbit R1 companion app on her laptop, which shows the AI assistant creating a short summary based on the audio. There’s also a button that says “Transcribe,” which presumably lets you get a transcription of the audio file. Additionally, the audio can be accessed via the cloud, allowing you to share it with other platforms.
Lyu admits it still needs some work, but adds that the experience is “intuitive and functional.” “There will be more updates to come,” he said, hinting that more updates are in the works for Rabbit R1.
The Rabbit R1 sells for $199 and is currently available for pre-order.
