Rabbit R1
The $199 Rabbit R1 aims to help users complete online tasks without using a phone or computer.
  • The Rabbit R1, a pocket-sized AI device, sold out within 24 hours of its January 2024 launch.
  • Despite that success, techies have wondered why the AI  gadget isn't just a smartphone app.
  • Selling the software on Apple's App Store could make room for rivals, Rabbit CEO told Fast Company.

In early 2024, Rabbit started selling the Rabbit R1, an AI-powered handheld device meant to help people complete tasks that normally require opening apps on a smartphone or using a traditional computer. These might include booking flights and making reservations, or merely answering questions.
