Q & A

What is the mission of the company Rabbit?

Rabbit's mission is to create the simplest computer that is so intuitive, you don't need to learn how to use it. They want to move away from app-based operating systems towards a more natural language-centered approach.

What is the problem with current smartphone operating systems?

The problem is that with hundreds of apps that don't work together, smartphones are no longer intuitive. You have to fumble through multiple pages and folders to find the app you want to use.

What is the Lamb AI model?

The Lamb (Large Action Model) is a new foundational model that understands and executes human intentions on computers. It can learn any interface from any software and perform tasks end-to-end accurately and speedily.

How does the Rabbit R1 mobile device work?

The R1 has Rabid OS built for real-time interaction between you and the device. Powered by the Lamb model, it can understand natural language requests and perform complex sequences of actions across apps to fulfill them.

What hardware capabilities does the R1 have?

The R1 has a touchscreen, push-to-talk button, analog scroll wheel, microphone, speakers, a 360 degree rotational camera called Rabid Eye, Bluetooth, WiFi, and 4G LTE connectivity.

How does the Rabbit portal and authentication work?

The Rabbit Hole portal allows you to connect and authenticate services like Spotify, Uber, etc. to your R1. Authentication happens on the respective apps - Rabbit never saves your credentials.

What is the Teach Mode on the R1?

Teach Mode allows users to show R1 new skills, like generating images on MidJourney. It watches, learns, and repeats so anyone can teach R1 regardless of technical skill.

How is the R1 priced compared to competitors?

At $199 with no subscription fees, the R1 with Lamb AI is priced much lower than AI assistants from Apple, Amazon, Anthropic etc. which cost over $600.

Does R1 replace your smartphone?

No, R1 is meant as a companion device, representing a new generation of natively AI-powered devices. It works very differently from app-based smartphones.

When will the R1 start shipping?

Rabbit is now taking pre-orders for the R1 and plans to start shipping in early 2024.

[Music]

hi everyone my name is Jesse and I'm the

founder and CEO of

rabbit I'm so excited to be here today

to present you two things we've been

working on a revolutionary New

Foundation model and a groundbreaking

consumer mobile device powered by it our

mission is to create the simplest

computer something so intuitive that you

don't need to learn how to use it the

best way to achieve achieve this is to

break away from app-based operating

system currently used by

smartphones instead we envision a

natural language centered approach the

computer we're building which we call a

companion should be able to talk to

understand and more importantly get

things done for you the future of human

machine interfaces should be more

intuitive now before we get started

let's take a look at the existing mobile

devices that we use daily the one device

that's in your pocket the smartphones

like iPhone and Android

phones these guys been here for years

and we've grown tired of them the

problem with these devices however is

not the hardware phone factor it's

what's inside the app based operating

system want to get a right to the office

there's the app for that want to buy

groceries there's another app for that

each time you want to do something you

fumble through multiple pages and

folders to find the app you want to use

and there are always endless buttons

that you need to click add to the card

go to the next page check the boxes and

jumping back and forth and so on the

smartphone was supposed to be intuitive

but with hundreds of apps on your phone

today that don't work together it no

longer is if you look at the top of

ranking app apps on App Stores today

you'll find that most of them focus on

entertainment our smartphones has become

the best device to kill time instead of

saving them it's just harder for them to

do

things many people before us have tried

to build a simpler and more intuitive

computers with AI a decade ago companies

like apple Microsoft and Amazon made

Siri contana and Alexa with these smart

speakers often they either don't know

what you're talking about or fail to

accomplish the tasks we ask for recent

achievements in large language models

however or llms a type of AI technology

have made it much easier for machines to

understand you the popularity of L

chatbots over the past years has shown

that the natural language based

experience is the past for forward

however where this assistance struggle

is still getting things

done for example if you go to the chbt

and use your Expedia plugin to book a

ticket it can suggest options but

ultimately cannot assist you in

completing the booking process from

start to finish things like chbt are

extremely good at understanding your

intentions but could be better at

trigging action

another Hot Topic is a field of research

around what they call agents it has

caught the eye of many open-source

projects and productivity software

companies what remains to be solved is

for these agents to perform tasks end to

endend accurately and speedily the

problem is forcing a model to perform a

task it is not designed for whether for

a language model to reason about web

page using super prompts or screenshots

we have yet to produce an agent as good

as users simply clicking the buttons to

fulfill our vision of a delightful

intuitive companion we must go beyond a

piece of complex software we want it to

be in the hands of

everyone so we first set up to

fundamentally understand how computer

apps are structured and more importantly

how humans interact with them we wanted

to find a way for our AI to trigger

auctions on behalf of users across all

environments we want it to be Universal

not just a chrome Plugin or limited set

of apps but everything iOS Android and

desktop these applications share

something in common the interface they

all have a user interface so at a

philosophical level if we can make an AI

trigger actions on any kind of interface

just like a human would we will solve

the problem this Insight led us to

create the large action model or lamb as

we call it it is new foundational model

that understands and executes human

intentions on computers driven by our

research in neuros symbolic

systems with a large action model we

fundamentally find a solution to the

challenges that apps apis or agents face

we solve it with

interfaces lamb can learn any interfaces

from any software regardless of which

platform they're running on in short the

large language model understands what

you say but a large action model get

things done we use lamb to bring AI from

words to

action finally we can build a computer

that in addition to understanding what

you're trying to say can actually help

you do things on your

behalf we pack the large action model

into advanced rabbit OS operating system

it is built for realtime interactions

between you and the rabbit powered by

lamb large action models concept and

test results are so powerful that we

decid to make a oneof kind mobile device

introducing R1 your pocket

[Music]

companion

[Music]

he

[Music]

this is the rabbit R1 designing

collaboration with teenage engineering

the R1 is a fully Standalone device

primarily driven by natural language the

accumulation of countless hours of work

from our research design and software

teams it is simple to use R1 is equipped

with everything you need to interact

with you and perceive your surroundings

it comes with a touchcreen a push to

talk button and an analog scroll wheel a

microphone and

speakers and a computer vision enabled

360 degree rotational camera we call the

Rabid eye it is Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

capable and it has the same C slots that

supports Global 4G LTE network and now

let's see how it works I can ask rabbit

for anything just like if I'm using chbt

the difference though is a speed with

rabid OS I get a response 10 times

faster than most of the voice AI project

Rabbid answers my questions within 500

milliseconds with the push to talk

button you don't need to say anything to

wake it up just press and hold the

button and talk like a

walkie-talkie now let's give it a shot

what's the nature of the

reality the nature of reality is a topic

that has captivated the minds of

philosophers and thinkers throughout

history according to Bertrand Russell

reality is composed of hard data derived

from sensory experiences and logical

analysis it is the amalgamation of our

perceptions thoughts and the external

world I can speak or type with R1 if you

shake R1 a keyboard will pop up you will

also know that the respon speed is much

faster than using some of the L

assistant apps with web browsing such as

chpt what's the stock price of

Coca-Cola searching for the stock price

of

Coca-Cola the stock price of Coca-Cola

KO is

$59.7 who played the role Oppenheimer in

Christoper Nolan's latest movies in

Christopher Nolan's most recent film

Oppenheimer the role of Jay Robert

Oppenheimer is play by Killian

Murphy the film is a biographical

Thriller that explores the story of

American scientist Jay Robert

Oppenheimer and his involvement in the

development of the atomic

bomb now let's see how the large action

model works with lamb rabbit R1 can

interact with all kinds of applications

introducing the rabbit hole we portal I

can log into different services and

unlock functionalities for R1 it's just

like I Cloud let's say I want to listen

to some

music with a rabbit hole web portal I

have complete control over which

Services I want to activate on my R1 and

which provider I prefer for music I use

Spotify so let's go ahead and connect my

Spotify to the rabbit

hole now that this is Spotify login page

before I start the loging process I want

to emphasize our commitment to privacy

the way we design the infrastructure for

apps that we interact with we don't

create fake users or spam users we don't

hack their infrastructures and of course

we do not store any of your third party

credentials instead we redirect you to

their login page we never save your

username and password and we don't track

your data the authentication happens on

the respective

apps now I'm loging with

Spotify rabid OS recognize that Spotify

has been authenticated on my device

before this presentation I

pre-authenticated some other apps like

uber and door

Dash just choose your pre refer services

and loging through them to get

authenticated on your device it's that

easy now let's play some music play

craftworks pocket

calculator playing pocket calculator by

craftwork for

you play another song from the

album sure playing Computer Love For

You

that's all the tracks from the Same

album who wrote the lyrics for this

[Music]

song Ralph hutter and Emil schul wrote

the lyrics for the song Computer Love by

craftwork which band sampled this

song it seems that Coldplay talk is the

only known example of a song that

sampled Computer Love what do you think

about this song Computer Love by

craftwork is widely regarded as a

groundbreaking and influential song in

the realm of electronic music its Fusion

of catchy Melodies robotic vocals and

Innovative use of synthesizers has left

a lasting impact on the genre I can also

use R1 to call a ride get me ride from

my office home now of course I will book

an Uber ride for you from your office to

your

home please confirm the

ride I have six people with three

blockages find me Uber that can fit all

of us for six people and three pieces of

luggage I recommend booking an Uber XL

as it provides ample space for all

passengers and

Luggage please confirm the ride the ride

shows up I just hit confirm over's on my

way I can also use R1 to order

food get me a 12in pizza from Pizza Hut

deliver to here the most ordered option

on the app is fine ordering a 12-in

pizza from Pizza Hut since you mentioned

that the most ordered option is fine I

will select that for

you I just created an order for a 12-in

pizza it's going to be hand tossed with

a classic marinara sauce and topped with

regular cheese please confirm your

order that sounds really good I just

confirmed order

here now I'm waiting for my pizza I can

also make R1 to a set of more complex

actions that may take multiple apps to

finish on a smartphone for example if I

want to plan a trip to London I can just

describe what I wish in full to

R1 I want to take my family to London

it's going to be two of us and a child

of age 12 we're thinking of January 30th

to February 5th can you plan the entire

trip for me with like cheap non-stop

flights grouped seats a cool SUV and a

nice hotel that has

Wi-Fi exploring ticketing options to

make your trip a reality

for your trip I found various flight

options a range of hotels to choose from

and car rentals available please confirm

each option individually for further

details and booking so it's all been

planned out I just confirm confirm

confirm and that's it could you come up

with a schedule for fun things to do

while I'm over

there on

it I have prepared a detailed travel

plan for your trip in summary you will

be exploring London's iconic landmarks

visiting museums enjoying delicious

meals at local restaurants and

experiencing the vibrant atmosphere of

different

neighborhoods navigation details are

also prepared and I can help you book

tickets for any events you'd like to

attend R1 just planned the entire trip

for me that's awesome but it seems like

like this is a little bit too intense

can you plan a easy schedule for us sure

I'm working on

it please take a look at it and let me

know what you

think it gave me a more relaxed schedule

every day with all the details sounds

really good and I just confirm

that

I can foresee a wonderful trip Isn't

that cool huh R1 can help me reach

others just like a phone but smarter it

come with a building real-time

translator and a notaker removing the

final barriers to communication R1

automatically detects the language

spoken in the environment and provide

the bidirectional translation R1 has an

i an onboard camera designed for

advanced computer vision it can add

analyze surroundings and take actions in

real time to activate the eye just

double tap the

button oh funny seeing you here

Rick let me take a

look Never Going To Give You Up playing

now

enjoy what am I getting Rick Roll in my

own keynote let's move on to the next

[Music]

one this is what I got in the fridge can

you make me a nice dish that's low in

calories let me

see how about a green garden omelet

it's a delicious and low calorie dish

that combines the freshness of broccoli

and cabbage with the creaminess of eggs

here's a simple recipe for

you nice it recognized all the stuff and

gave me the actual recipes rabbit eye

can also help you with your

documents here's the table I've been

working on for job questionnaire can can

you create an additional column that

matches candidates who mentioned rabbit

then there are questions about how they

found

us sure let me take a look at the table

and add the matching column for

you I've processed the table and sent

you an email with the

results okay now let's check our email I

can continue to interact with rabid OS

even Beyond R1 let's reply this email

directly can you add another column that

matches candidates who have included

rabbit in their question and R La

based I just reply the email h

s and I got a refined version from rabid

o through my email

let's say I have a unique routine or

task I cannot do on my phone R1 can do

that too we are experimenting with what

we call the teach mode just like how I

can teach my friend how to skateboard I

can show R1 how to do it and it will

learn from you this means that any user

regardless of technical background can

teach R1 to learn new

skills so you go to teach mode you start

a new session today I will show you how

to generate an image of puppy using me

Journey from prompt using Discord first

I will go to the servers page and click

one my own servers since this is only a

general image generation I'll go to Mid

Journey text

Channel then I will use the image comand

along with the

prompt here I'm putting acute baby wild

dog with big eyes animated cartoon on

rail

8K let's wait for a minute for the

engine to start generating the

images once it's done

let's click on the image to get a

link I will then explain to Rabbit OS

how to use this rabbit and annotate it's

so that I can generate anything not just

poppies so let's go back to our web

portal subit request it takes seconds

for the web portal to finish

processing and that's it it's that

simple now once we finish the training I

can go back to my R1 now let's use mid

Journey as I told you to generate a

picture of a bunny in pixel art style

certainly

Jesse I will use mid journey to generate

a picture of a bunny in pixel art style

for you please give me a moment to

create the

image now here you go you got a image

generated on Mid journey through teach

mode watch learn and repeat that's teach

mode it's that simple that's all the

demos for today with land fast evolving

my R1 will eventually help me to do

things that can never be achieved on an

app based phone speaking of the current

APP based phones the first question we

ask about ourselves is why would I need

a new device if I already have a, iPhone

my iPhone can't do any of this at all we

do not build rabbit R1 to replace your

phone it's just a different generation

of devices the app based system were

introduced more than 15 years ago and a

new generation of native AI power

devices are just getting started here's

a quick recap R1 is our companion that

hosts the large action model with

natural language I can use it for a wide

range of tasks ask anything Direct

actions complex actions AI enhanced

video calls noaker translator with a

rabid eye computer vision and

experimental teach mode on the hardware

perspective we got a 360 rotational

camera a global 4G LTE SIM card a push

to talk button and an analog scroll

wheel one last thing what about the

price now before we reveal our price I

want to do a quick

comparison here are some of the best

phones on the market right now you got

iPhone you got latest version of Android

phones we're looking at somewhere around

700 to $1,000 for a top phone with an

app based system I bought my new iPhone

15 Pro Max last year and it's the same

experience as my previous ones here are

not so smart smart speakers they're

asking roughly around 20 $100 but

they're all outdated and finally here

are a couple of the new things with only

large language models you got AI paying

asking for

$699 plus monthly subscriptions for

their base models you got tab asking for

$600 and you got meta reband glasses

asking for roughly $300 remember these

are the things with only large language

model we still think these were too

expensive we priced the rabbit R1 at

$199 no subscription no hidden fees you

can order the R1 now at

rabbit. and we are shipping Eastern

2024 I can't wait for you to experience

the R1 for

yourself thank

[Music]

you
