Rabbit has launched RabbitOS 2, a major software overhaul for the Rabbit R1 handheld AI device. The update adds a colorful card‑based interface, multimodal voice, text and image interactions, and a new "Creations" platform that lets users build tools, games and experiences through conversational "vibe coding". The update aims to close the gap between early expectations and the original experience, offering a more visual and intuitive way to access the R1’s capabilities while keeping the device’s low price and niche appeal.
Major Software Refresh for Rabbit R1
Rabbit announced RabbitOS 2, a comprehensive redesign of the software that powers its handheld Rabbit R1 device. The original R1 was known for its orange, voice‑first interface but struggled to differentiate itself from smartphones. With RabbitOS 2, the company introduces a new visual language built around a deck of playing‑card‑style screens, allowing users to swipe through features and use gesture functions on the touch screen.
Multimodal Interaction
The update expands the R1’s conversational abilities beyond voice. Users can now combine voice, text, and images within a single query, and the flow of the conversation is displayed on the screen as a visual thread. This multimodal approach makes it easier to see and control the device without relying solely on spoken commands.
Creations: Agentic AI Development
One of the headline features of RabbitOS 2 is "Creations," an agentic AI development environment that lets users "vibe code" new software tools, games and experiences. By describing what they want in a real‑time conversation, users can generate a new creation that appears on the device within minutes. The platform does not require technical expertise, and a growing library of free creations can be installed directly on the R1.
Company Vision and Market Position
Rabbit’s founder and CEO explained that the original goal was to create an experience where users could simply talk to AI and have it understand and act. After launch, the company recognized a gap between user expectations and the delivered experience, prompting a full revamp. The new OS aims to turn the R1 into a platform for personalized AI experiences while maintaining its low price point and dedicated community of tinkerers.
Shipping and Availability
While RabbitOS 2 does not introduce new hardware, the company announced free global shipping on all new R1 orders placed through its website until the end of the promotional period.
