Holy shit, this is awesome! A stark contrast with the other AI companion company.

A shake up of the current model is desperately needed. We’re beyond diminishing returns and into incumbents holding on for as long as they can make money. This is a bright spark.

The R1, the pocket-size gadget from Rabbit that’s supposed to use your apps for you, has already sold out of its first batch. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the startup Rabbit announced that it sold 10,000 units in just one day.

“When we started building r1, we said internally that we’d be happy if we sold 500 devices on launch day,” Rabbit writes. “In 24 hours, we already beat that by 20x!”
