You may remember last year’s R1 rabbit. It was the portable, orange device, with which you interact using your voice. The R1 did not really have an impact despite a revolutionary interactive vocal interface, because it really did not do much that your smartphone could not already do.
However, due to its relatively low price of $ 199 and an audience dedicated from a group of users who like to tinker, it has found its niche and has been in active development since.
Now Rabbit has just published a brand new operating system, Rabbitos 2, which has a new colorful design based on coding coding cards and capacities for vibration. So, if you already own an R1, you are about to get a huge update.
You always talk to the device to use it, but when you press the button and talk to R1, the flow of the conversation is now visible on the screen. New multimodal features have also been added to the conversation, so you can use the voice, the text and the images together in the same request.
“Our vision when we launched R1 was to create a whole new experience where you can simply talk to AI and he will understand and do things for you. After the launch, we realized that there was a big gap between the high expectations of our users and the original software experience that we offered. We therefore decided to completely reorganize the software and rethink all the R1 experience, “said the founder and the CEO of Rabbit Jesse.
“Rabbitos 2 transforms Rabbit R1 into a platform so that people can create their own experiences with the power of AI. With Rabbitos 2, creations and more than 30 OTA in the last 16 months, R1 is a whole new device.”

The new design based on a card facilitates the see and access to the R1 features with additional gesture functions added to the touch screen. Rabbitos 2 is based on the familiar concept of a play of playing card with each main feature obtaining its own card in the battery, so you can easily browse and access it by sliding on the screen or using the scroll wheel.
It looks a bit like crossing a rolodex, and that tackles one of the major problems I found when using the device – that I felt a little lost with only my voice to control it – so I can’t wait to give a spin to the new operating system.
The other main characteristic of the new Rabbitos 2 is creationsAn agentic development that you vibe the code. You can really create software tools, games and other experiences on your device with real -time conversations. The creation will appear on your device a few minutes after finishing describing it.
You do not need technical capacity to vibrate the code a new creation. You can create your own or choose from an increasing list of existing creations to install for free on your R1.
Thus, although there is no new equipment to support the new operating system, Rabbit said that it will offer free world delivery on all new R1 orders until the end of September on the rabbit website.
