While this is pretty cool. Can someone tell me what this device does that my iPhone does not?

Hi @Socrates ,

welcome to the rabbit community board here.  
Merry christmas. 🎄

So far five mainly points are highlighted for our rabbit r1:

- no subscription for using ChatGPT, Perplexity etc.
- UI and speech individualization with own prompts and with your imagination
- The LAM model (large action model) to teach your rabbit own tasks, which can execute automatically (e.g. automatic browse over websites to purchase some products, etc). Other devices use only the LLM (large language model)
- You have a great chance here to offer suggestions and ideas, which will be focused from the development team
- A great rabbit team, with @simon etc. 😉

It’s just fun yo.

As soon as the default is “it should be an app” you lose a lot of ingenuity.

The r1 is a really cool device. Interesting hardware, new UI and UX decisions, compromises, ideas.

Yes, from a functional perspective you could achieve everything that the r1 does with an iPhone, because the iPhone has all the inputs and outputs that the r1 has.

But that’s not the point. The point is the r1 is something properly novel. Let’s see where they take it. It’s refreshing.
