Jesse mentioned a number of interesting details about rabbitOS 2 during the 2-hour interview.

RabbitOS 2 is the upcoming new operating system version for the Rabbit R1 device, with its release definitely looked at for August. Jesse Lyu, the founder of Rabbit AI, stated that August would be a very busy month for the company due to its preparation.
Key aspects and features of RabbitOS 2 include:
- Redesigned Interface The entire interface of the R1 is fundamentally redesigned and will look different.
- Full Touchscreen Support The new OS will support full touchscreen functionality everywhere on the device.
- New Card System UI It will feature a new card system user interface.
- Intern Integration RabbitOS 2 will integrate Intern, allowing R1 users to trigger Intern tasks directly from their device.
- Creations Feature A new definition of what the agent can do, this feature will enable users to “web code any apps” on their R1 simply by talking to it and working with Intern.
- Users can prompt the R1 to create apps on the fly, such as a cyberpunk-themed Pong game or a Snake game, which the agent will generate immediately.
- This creation feature fundamentally understands the R1’s specifications, including screen size, scroll wheel, and buttons.
- It aims to provide a clear path forward where users can create apps without needing an app store, by describing the desired application and its functionalities (e.g., a stock tracker with specific alerts).
Rabbit anticipates that the OS2 update, which will be delivered via over-the-air (OTA) updates, will make the device’s purpose and capabilities clearer to users. This new version aims to solve the fundamental question of how the R1 will differ from a smartphone, even though Rabbit is not competing directly with phones.
