The [Rabbit r1](https://www.rabbit.tech/rabbit-r1) is a [[Generative AI|GenAI]]-powered “pocket companion,” meant to provide both text responses and AI-powered actions (like ordering an Uber, for instance). The device itself is designed by [Teenage Engineering](https://teenage.engineering) and is delightful to look at and hold. ![[IMG_1307.webp]] I owned one of these in 2024 and never could figure out how it fit in my life. It was underpowered next to the promise shown in the early demos. The Large Action Model (LAM) features that are intended to interact with an app or website on your behalf were in beta or were experimental features. The battery life was also disappointing, losing half its battery just sitting idle for a day. I tracked [[Rabbit R1 Use Cases]] in hopes that the r1 would grow into its promise, but ultimately decided to give up on the platform and sell my device on eBay. [[OpenClaw]] is a much more capable and accessible version of the r1 idea, and I can interact with it on my iPhone; no need for a separate device. --- **Relates to**: [[AI]]
