Rabbit now lets you teach the R1 to perform tasks for you

Rabbit is rolling out “teach mode” to its R1 devices, allowing you to create an AI agent that can perform tasks for you. The feature works by “learning” a task you demonstrate, such as retrieving updates from a content creator you follow, or helping you draft a post on social media.
You can access the feature by logging into the Rabbithole, the web interface for managing an R1 device. From there, you’ll create a “lesson” by describing a task and then recording yourself performing it. Once you show the AI agent what you want it to do, you can then ask it to recall what it’s learned and have it complete the task. It seems straightforward, but Rabbit acknowledges that teach mode is experimental and results may not always be what you expect.
Rabbit says you can use this feature across “all websites,” such as Spotify, X, YouTube, Discord, and others, but that you may encounter issues with sites that use CAPTCHAs — a roadblock R1 users have run into before when trying to connect to certain websites.
Teach mode is the latest new feature designed to expand the Rabbit R1’s capabilities. Last month, the company rolled out its large action model (LAM) that attempts to navigate websites on your behalf. Owners can also now customize the device’s user interface with AI prompts.
