Rabbit Rolls Out RabbitOS 2, Rebooting the R1 With Card UI and On-Device App Generation

The free upgrade is presented as a reset after poor early reviews of the pocket AI device.

Overview

  • RabbitOS 2 is available now as a free download for 2024 R1 units, and no new hardware was announced.
  • The overhaul adds a card-based interface, improved touchscreen gestures, a Quick Settings panel, visible conversation flow, and a camera shortcut.
  • A new Creations feature introduces “vibe coding,” allowing users to describe tools or simple games that the Rabbit Intern agent then builds on-device.
  • Translations now provide full conversation transcripts that sync to the Rabbit Hole activity hub for later review.
  • Rabbit is pushing the relaunch with free global shipping through September, after CEO Jesse Lyu acknowledged a “big gap” in the original experience.
