For the past few days, I have been using the latest artificial intelligence device to replace my smartphone: Rabbit R One. I wanted to know if this artificial intelligence digital assistant would one day become what my mobile phone is to me: something I cannot live without.

You can imagine what is behind this invention: millions of people are using artificial intelligence chatbots such as ChatGPT and Cloud. After the success of their software, it seems that the big players in the tech industry are now hoping to achieve the same success with their hardware. In this regard, they now want to introduce artificial intelligence "tools" as a range of devices.

Advertisement Microsoft is doing something similar with its laptops, and Apple is rumored to be doing the same with its next iPhone. Some want to introduce a whole new category of device, and one example of this is the R1. The Rabbit Company says that your everyday digital tasks will become easier thanks to a trustworthy assistant.

You can always carry the R-One with you. This artificial intelligence device will help you in your daily life. Meanwhile, you can turn off your phone and go back to the real world. You will see how beneficial it is for you. But the problem is that two such devices have been introduced before but they did not meet people’s expectations.

Let’s take human artificial intelligence as an example. Marques Brownlee is an American YouTuber who tests new devices. He has 1.8 million followers on YouTube. He calls the Human AI Pin the worst product he has ever tested. The R1 is now available in the UK and European markets, but is it better than the AI ​​Pin? Before I give my judgement on it, let me take a look at this device.

You can ask him anything

First, let’s look at what’s good: The Rabbit R One is a bright orange, boxy device with a big screen that, from a distance, looks as if you’re holding it in your hand. It’s got buttons, a scroll wheel and a camera that can rotate from front to back, making a satisfying noise as it spins. It’s priced at £159, which is pretty reasonable.

The question is, what can you do with it? Basically, you can ask him anything now. But his abilities are pretty limited at the moment. You can’t use social media or send messages on social media. You can’t use it to shop, bank online, or use health apps. You can of course use Spotify or Apple Music, but you’ll need a bigger speaker for that, as the built-in speaker isn’t very loud. "midjourney" also lets you create temporary images with AI. That’s all it can do.

Rabbit R One gave me the exact time and weather forecast. It even showed me the right way to get to my son’s school, but I had to tell it where I was at the time. R. One person asked me to translate some of the conversation from English to German, and I did so beautifully. When my colleague asked about the best chess players in 2024, R-One provided me with a list of the top 20 players from “chess.com.”

In this case, it performed better than Amazon Echo because Alexa, when asked about it, named Garry Kasparov, who retired from competitive chess in 2005. When I asked R-One about popular conspiracy theories, he was indifferent. And when I asked him who would win the next UK general election, his answer was taken from a YouGo poll that day. So, R1 is good at collecting information from the Internet. But what about this? So can I?
