These companies need to understand their positioning better and stop marketing the devices as a solution for everything. It would be better to focus on a narrower use case and eventually discover broader applications, rather than the other way around.

The current state of this feels like the main use case is for kids to ask infinite questions, since the AI works quite well, it's a standalone device and it's conversational. It even looks like a toy. But it's definitely not for productivity or for getting things done faster. Maybe some day, but until then, they should focus on solving one specific use case really well.

The 90's cargo pants, this is their comeback chance.

Wasted $199 as an early adopter. Got the device yesterday and am quite underwhelmed. The software can't even charitably be called Beta. This device has no business being released in its present state. It's not ready for prime time on ANY measurable level.

This could be very useful for visually impaired people

I could see the Vision feature to help visually disabled people. It could help them understand their surroundings.

I still don't get it: all these things are so much easier with your phone. The only impressive things are chatgpt integrations, that should be praise for OpenAI, not the Rabbit

"Would I be standing here talking about this if it [was just an app]". So this company made a physical product for attention and you gave it to them because it's cute. Come on indeed.

I love the bright orange color. I'm not the target audience for the Rabbit, I'm fine with using my smartphone with 100s of apps. 

I think the idea is OK, but such a shame it doesn't work like it should.

More e-waste. This thing was released too early.

Almost no one is going to carry both this and their phone around.

[swaggitypigfig]

It’s a useless $200 toy that is often wrong and runs out of battery very quickly. There, I saved you 6 minutes.

[BluelightGaming]

I think she probably missed the point where you could just tell the AI to turn the volume up or down... I'm pretty sure it could do that

[hdtravel]

This thing serves no purpose - an app could do more

[CyberPatriot]

It seems interesting, but not using it until I know they can secure my account/login. I'm not typing in my account info into a third party for it to "use" my accounts.

Complete waste of time and money no thanks I'll stick to my Pixel lol
