Lyu also demoed the R1's Teach Mode, which lets you point the R1's camera at your computer screen as you teach it how to complete a task. Once you learn, you can ask it to perform the said task to save yourself time and trouble. However, the feature isn't available yet, and when it is, Rabbit says it will start with a small number of users for beta testing.
But the goal of R1 is more or less Replace your application. Instead of searching for an icon, you can simply press a button and ask the R1 to handle something.
In CESLooks like you can visit much Third-party apps came through R1 at launch, but currently there are only four services: Uber, DoorDash, Midjourney, and Spotify.
You connect to these services through the Rabbit Hole web portal—which means yes, you're logging into these services through what appears to be a virtual machine hosted by Rabbit, hand over your credentials—and then you can ask R1 to call an Uber, order McDonald's, create a picture, or play a song. It uses the application programming interfaces (APIs) of these services to solve these tasks—and R1 is pre-trained to use them.
Of course, Lyu promises there's more to come. In the summer, we are advised to expect alarm clocks, calendars, contacts, GPS, memory retrieval, travel planning and other features. Amazon Music and Apple Music integration is currently in development, and later we'll see more third-party service integrations including Airbnb, Lyft, and OpenTable.
You might be wondering, “Wait a minute, that sounds like a phone,” and you… wouldn't be wrong.
As we have seen with the bulkiness and limitations Humanitarian Ai Pin, smartphones can perform all of these tasks better, faster, and with richer interactivity. This is where you must begin to carefully consider Rabbit's overall vision.
The idea is to talk and then calculate. No app needed—your computer will understand. We're a long way from that, but at the launch event, Rabbit showed off a wearable that can understand what you're pointing at.
Lyu thinks this wearable device can understand when you point at one Nest Thermostat and ask for the temperature to be turned down without having to say the words “Nest” or “thermostat.” However, the image of the wearable that was supposed to see it all was blurred so we don't have much information to go on.
Lyu mentioned the general user interfaces where users will be able to have optional interface—on-screen buttons placed where you want them and at the perfect display size—and then claims that Rabbit is working on an AI-based desktop operating system called Rabbit OS. Again, we don't have many details, but my mind immediately comes to mind Follow in She install OS1 on his PC.
An operating system that puts personal voice assistants front and center. What could go wrong?
