Rabbit R1 review: nothing to see here
This device is nowhere near the super-smart assistant we were promised.
Every time I pressed that side button on the R1 — which activates the microphone — and asked it to order food, it spat back a warning about how “DoorDash may take a while to load on RabbitOS” and then, a second later, told me there was an issue and to try again. So even if allRabbit was doing was searching the app and clicking play for me — which is totally possible without AI and works great through the off-the-shelf automation software Rabbit is using for part of the process — it should still land on the right thing. The most enjoyable time I spent with the R1 was running around the National Mall in Washington, DC, pointing the R1’s camera at a bunch of landmarks and asking it for information via the Vision feature.
