Rabbit Launches "Teaching Mode", Enabling Users to Customize AI Assistant Tasks

Rabbit has recently introduced a new feature called "Teaching Mode," designed to enable users to instruct their AI assistants to perform tasks on digital interfaces, including website navigation, information retrieval, and operating various digital systems. This feature is launched in a beta version.

The newly launched "Teaching Mode" is compatible with Rabbit's previously released low-cost mobile device, the r1, which debuted in early 2024. The r1 is compact and portable, equipped with the Rabbit operating system, allowing users to interact with applications through voice and natural language commands, such as purchasing flight tickets or groceries. The core technology of the r1 is a Large Action Model (LAM) that understands user intentions and translates them into task actions similar to those performed by humans.

With "Teaching Mode," users without programming experience or advanced AI knowledge can guide the r1 to perform more operations. Users simply demonstrate a series of steps, and the r1 learns and remembers these steps, automatically executing the same actions in similar future scenarios. For example, users can teach the r1 how to send customized tweets or add items to an Amazon shopping cart. During the learning process, users can annotate the purpose of each step with text, and if errors occur, they can delete and retrace steps.

Jesse Lyu, founder and CEO of Rabbit Inc., stated that the developer ecosystem is crucial to the success of the operating system. "Teaching Mode" fills this gap, empowering people to create personalized agents. In the early testing phase, over 400 "lessons" were created by 20 testers, significantly improving the system before the public beta release and supporting more complex and dynamic website operations.

Additionally, on September 1st, Rabbit launched the LAM Playground, a visual language model-driven agent system that allows all r1 users to use AI to perform tasks by visually inspecting websites without predefining specific steps. Unlike "Teaching Mode," the LAM Playground lets users directly tell the AI what they want to do, and the AI acts based on the instructions.

The introduction of "Teaching Mode" marks Rabbit’s progress in providing consumer-grade general agents and underscores the company's commitment to continuously optimizing product features through user participation.
