rabbitOS release notes

from the team
183

The “global memory recall” that is currently released will let rabbit recall specific interactions that are stored in the rabbit hole; you can “ask R1 about past rabbit hole interactions and journal entries” (see the comment in the video the moment this is mentioned (6:25)).

There are 2 additional future developments that are hinted at; 1) the ability to use these past interactions from the rabbit hole as context for personalized future interactions and 2) the use of rabbit hole to set/recall user preferences. For 2) there are probably multiple solutions, I look forward to seeing the options the team will come up with.

I understand your point too, but I see it fundamentally differently. I think it’s just as right and just as good the way they done it. Firstly, it gives us the opportunity to help shape the path of r1 and Rabbit at a very early stage of development through our constructive suggestions for improvement and the reporting of problems and errors, at least to a very minimalistic but still easy extent. But and we differ, it depends on the tone and things like that happen. There are various main topics here in this community. One main topic, for example, is for the hopefully constructive suggestions for improvement. Another is the complaint box where errors and problems belongs, etc. I haven’t been here long, but one thing I’ve noticed is that after every update, after a day at the most, an avalanche of indignation breaks out for the developers and those responsible at @rabbit and I just ask myself: what’s the point of that? If I put myself in the shoes of the poor developers here, who at least in my opinion are obviously really doing what they can, then I would really be fed up after four weeks at the latest. (I know what I’m talking about, I’m a developer myself, just not at Rabbit.) So I have the greatest respect for these people and I think what they do is great. They are only human and their job is hard, not physically but mentally. And even if they don’t give 110% or 100%, but only 50%, that’s enough, because as I said, they are only human, like the rest of us. In a world that is spinning faster and faster until it really goes crazy at some point.

Also, what do I have for 200 dollars? Hey, I’m begging you, please stay on the ground and look at what junk you can get from Amazon, Alibaba or AliExpress or something like that that costs 200 dollars! :rofl:

For my part, i love my 200 doller Rabbit, from the first day! :heart: :otarabbit:

I have an even better example, “Ai Pin”… Look at what you get for 200 dollars there…

I therefore think that we can be really happy with r1 and should try to support the developers in making it good for all of us, but not with waves of indignation, but only with constructive suggestions, warnings in case things really hit the wall and reporting errors and problems, but without putting them down again and again.

I don’t see r1 being shaped much by user input, really doesn’t seem like rabbit wants to make any significant changes to their vision…I feel like users are pretty much just bug testing.

You said a lot, but kinda just the same thing. So I’ll just say the same thing. Yes, it’s probably better if people don’t use the opportunity to connect with rabbit employees to be discouraging. But also, it is reasonable for people to have misunderstood what the device would do on day one, and it’s reasonable to be frustrated by the development process, and it’s reasonable to express frustration on the communication platform rabbit made.

I understand that this is all just human, I’m not holy and I criticize sometimes other people too, but the question I always ask myself is, does it help anyone if I do this?

And if I can answer that question with yes, then we can get started.

In that case, I can’t answer that question with yes, because criticizing people for not doing their work faster doesn’t make sense to me, because there are always good reasons why people don’t do their work faster.

And 99.9% of these reasons are certainly not laziness or anything like that, most of the time they are completely human and understandable reasons.

But that doesn’t get us any further from this point on, as is often the case in life, there are always several perspectives and depending on which one you choose, that’s how you see the world.

This isn’t accurate at all.

We are logging every single suggestion and piece of feedback both qualitatively and quantitatively into an internal JIRA board which the Product team use.

It is definitely impacting decision making.

Our vision VS what the community wants is a false dichotomy. We aim to strike a decent balance.

I don’t want to be one of those stupid YouTubers with millions of viewers who aren’t exactly stingy with criticism and end up criticizing one of the best inventions on the planet just because it wasn’t fully developed at the time.
:idlerabbit:
Instead, I just see the enormous potential in Rabbit and hope that the guys and girls really manage to make everything the way it should be at some point.

And until then, I’ll just sit back and relax and follow it with excitement. :weatherrabbit:

Thank you for this explanation, I had suspected something like this, but it’s nice to read it myself now. @simon

Well that quote alone isn’t accurate, I’m sure there are many different ways user input has impacted it. But I think what I meant is accurate: I haven’t seen any significant changes made to the product, changes from the original vision, based on user input. Mostly just QOL improvements…which is fine, not saying rabbit SHOULD tailor make it for us

Sorry, I know your answer was for Simon, but I really have to write something about it. I mean, that’s what an open topic is for and that’s the point of such great inventions where everyone can exchange ideas. I hope you don’t take offense. And of course I’m also curious about Simon’s answer to your answer. But, i don’t think that’s right, on the contrary, if you go through the various topics here in the community and just read, then I’ve honestly noticed quite a few things where I was really surprised that this was developed from a suggestion from the community. I think that’s really great! On the other hand, you say yourself that Rabbit shouldn’t tailor the product for us and I think that’s great, I completely agree with you, because if you look around the community, the following would happen if Rabbit were to cater too much to the wishes of the community: r1 would develop into a cheap second or third class smartphone and that would be the end of Rabbit in my opinion. So the people in charge really have to think very carefully about which ideas from the community are not harmful but beneficial, and they always walk a very fine line between either steering into a branch of misguided development or making r1 a truly legendary AI companion that certainly already has its place in computer history. The only exciting question is what will be written in this history and that is exactly what the people responsible at @Rabbit have in their hands today. So I think we all have to understand that.

Dude whatever, literally cant say criticism could be reasonable without being hounded for like 24 hours. You win, no one should ever criticize anything, rabbit does everything users ask them to, waiting months for timers was fun. :+1:Whatever

Hey, come on @RaRa, I don’t want to win anything here, except maybe a little understanding and a friendly exchange of opinions with everyone. To win something, that’s not what concerns me. I’m sorry. I’m not really concerned with the criticism itself, but primarily with who, how, why and what exactly is being criticized. Just look around, I criticize too, I just do it a little differently. I always try to do it constructively and not dump everything on to the developers. I think there are also things that have led to problems due to ideas from the community. So I just say what I say and try to draw attention to it.

When will you stop? I didnt even criticize rabbit, all I did was attempt to explain that frustration is excusable and criticism is reasonable…come on!

Please take a look @RaRa (:sunflower:) I would be very interested in your opinion. Perhaps you can also vote on it? This is of course also addressed to everyone.

I am looking forward to your constructive criticism. :wink:

OMG, why can’t you stop. You want my opinion? There has to be a physical reset method. I think a coded series of button taps like SOS in Morse, would be intuitive and easy to remember, because it’s a pattern. That’s why it was literally my first suggestion on the forum, and thats why I feel you’re just trolling me. Please stop.

Hey guys! I hope you’re having a great day.

I want to say that I always read this forum, and lately, specially this post, is getting filled with people complaining or asking the team to add certain features but not in a nice way. Would it be possible to change that a bit?

Please notice that you’re talking with each other, we are all people, it’s not that you’re talking with a spiritless company.

That said, as one of the first people who got their r1, I can see this device is evolving and that rabbit is hearing our opinions. Many things changed from users’ feedback, like not powering the device off with a long press of the PTT button (it was breaking long requests), a 24-hour clock instead of AM/PM, or adding alarms. I can feel that my r1 is getting smarter with each update and it is allowing me to do more things. Beta rabbit, for example, it’s way better than the standard rabbit system. And I still have the impulse of just picking my r1 to ask something instead of my phone, even if I have Perplexity set as a Siri shortcut on my iPhone.

To me, this device is great. An AI assistant that lets me take Magic Camera pictures (now with free mode too, for different styles), make music (creating music with Suno for the first time was so impressive!) and ask different questions when they come to my mind, all without an expensive subscription, and packed in a nice orange piece of hardware. What more can I ask?

I know some things like still getting the info in the imperial system instead of metric are kind of annoying, but I can just interrupt r1 when that happens and ask to provide me that same info but in Celsius/metric/whatever and it works, so no big issue.

And Simon here? Guys, you have a person from the company reading all your messages here and taking the time to reply to you. That’s so valuable!

You can’t make everyone happy, of course. Some requests cannot be fulfilled due to different reasons, but overall, I can see Rabbit’s team is headed in the right direction and improving the product with each update, and I’m super happy with that. Thanks team!

I wasn’t even being critical at first, just said it’s not unreasonable to be critical. Here’s some actual criticisms.
The 60 sec reset was always ridiculous. 24h clock and alarms are extremely common features I expected day one, did not expect them to need to be asked to do it.
We could ask for a lot more, like: the pictures to show, or a metric system setting, any offline functionality.
And yeah it was so valuable for me how Simon reduced my broader point and post to a single line, which he said I’m completely wrong about, and used jargon and a lot of big words to “prove” it.

is just un natural to ask the weather in celsius or different things :slight_smile: so having it fixed from the system feels more natural. it’s like giving a Uk or US electricity plug to an European to charge his device … they do the job but they don’t fit. i think if you sell devices internationally this should be just common sense.
