Rabbit recently said their AI service can only be accessed on the R1 with its “very bespoke AOSP” firmware, but that isn’t true.
  • Rabbit R1, AI gadget, runs on Android app, not requiring “very bespoke AOSP” firmware as claimed by Rabbit.
  • Rabbit R1 launcher app can run on existing Android phones, not needing system-level permissions for core functionality.
  • Rabbit R1 firmware analysis shows minimal modifications to standard AOSP, contradicting claims of custom hardware necessity by Rabbit.

    It just drives the point home that it should have, and could have been an app on your phone. If they hadn’t sold this as some sort of revolutionary new product and instead were honest to themselves and us about what it was this would be a different story.

    Just like all tech bs it’s just a bunch of lies to make initial sales that they never follow through with.
