Intro

It will soon be a year since we've been researching, reviewing, and talking about the best AI Tools, creators, and startups. But as you may have noticed, we've been focusing most of our attention on software products and services. It makes sense: right now, AI World revolves around chatbots and platforms that can be accessed from any device, as long as you have a good enough internet connection.

Call me old-fashioned, but sometimes (despite all the variety of modern neural networks and chatbots), I can't get enough of actual gadgets. Smartphones and laptops are less likely to get significant updates, and consoles have become predictable. Perhaps AI will breathe new life into physical products.

After all, machine learning has transformed our workflows, so why shouldn't it spark developers into the next generation of gadgets?

Today, we'll review three very different gadgets with a few things in common. All of them were introduced in the last year, made a sensation in the gadget world, and caught the attention of geeks. And all of them, of course, have become the top gadgets in terms of user interest in early 2024.

I'm talking about Rabbit R1, AI Pin by Humane, and Apple Vision Pro.

Let's take a look at each device, discuss what usage scenarios they already offer, and speculate a bit about the future of AI in the form factor of real gadgets. Who knows, maybe you don't need a smartphone anymore.

Rabbit R1

Rabbit R1 is a unique and compact AI-based gadget unveiled at CES 2024. And since we're talking about the device (which we don't often do), let's take a quick look at its specs.

Specs

The R1 is a small square gadget reminiscent of old handheld consoles. It has a 2.88-inch touchscreen display, a rotating camera for photos and videos, a small scroll wheel, and a button to launch the voice assistant. Its technical part is relatively poor compared to modern smartphones: a 2.3GHz MediaTek processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal storage.

AI Features

But all these characteristics aren’t so important. Much more important is what's "inside". Inside, Rabbit R1 has a unique Rabbit OS platform built on its own AI. Instead of a large language model like ChatGPT, the device relies on a "large action model". To put it in simpler terms, it's a general-purpose AI for managing apps.
