Rabbit R1 is a AI-powered piece of hardware with minimal controls. The gadget was presented as a replacement of your smart phone and is priced at $199 dollars.
Based on the super hyped initial presentation, the Rabbit R1 pre-sold tens of thousands of units before a single one was produced. Eventually it did and then the reviews started coming in about its not-so-stellar performance.
I can’t believe this bunny took my money, said Mashable.
Nothing to see here, said The Verge.
Skip this AI-powered hardware assistant, said Wired.
Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app, said Ars Technica.
You catch my point.
The device isn’t a fraud but it’s far from polished. With that in mind, spending $199 bucks on what looks like a Chinese Christmas toy isn’t exactly what tens of thousands of buyers were hoping for.
On that note, the Chinese registrant of the domain RabbitR1.com is now holding a worthless piece of IP property and the asking price of $2,850 dollars looks ridiculous.
The company operates from the domain Rabbit.tech.
