Rabbit AI has introduced a new tool that allows users to control their Android devices through an AI agent. This development follows the company’s recent acquisition of Humane AI by HP, shifting focus from hardware to software solutions.
The Rabbit app aims to automate various tasks on Android, setting itself apart from traditional AI chatbots. Users can prompt the AI to coordinate activities across multiple applications, such as sending dinner invitations via WhatsApp, selecting recipes, and compiling grocery lists. Additionally, it can create YouTube playlists and download apps from the Play Store.
During demonstrations, the AI agent showcased its ability to find saved business ideas in Google Keep and draft revenue plans in Google Docs. However, the technology is still in a research preview phase, and the app isn’t widely available yet. Once released, users will be able to download it from the Play Store and link it to their apps after granting necessary permissions.
Despite its innovative features, the Rabbit AI agent faces competition from other AI tools, such as OpenAI’s Operator and Anthropic’s Claude, which also aim to automate tasks on devices. Unlike these competitors, Rabbit’s focus remains on enhancing everyday user experiences rather than professional applications.
This strategic pivot from hardware to software may help Rabbit maintain its independence in a competitive market. The company is now engaging users directly through their smartphones, potentially increasing adoption and usage of AI tools.
