Rabbit is introducing a new feature called “teach mode” for its R1 devices, enabling users to create AI agents capable of performing specific tasks. This functionality allows the AI to “learn” by observing a task you demonstrate, such as gathering updates from a favorite content creator or assisting in drafting a social media post.
To use teach mode, you need to log into Rabbithole, the R1 device’s web-based management interface. Within Rabbithole, you can create a “lesson” by describing the task and recording yourself completing it. This demonstration serves as a guide for the AI, which can then replicate the task when instructed. While the process appears simple, Rabbit emphasizes that teach mode is still in an experimental phase, meaning its outcomes may sometimes differ from expectations.
The feature is designed to work across a broad range of platforms, including Spotify, X, YouTube, Discord, and more. However, Rabbit cautions that users might face challenges on websites employing CAPTCHAs—a known issue for R1 users attempting to connect to certain platforms.
Teach mode represents the latest addition to Rabbit’s efforts to expand the R1’s functionality. Just last month, the company introduced its large action model (LAM), which enables the device to navigate websites autonomously. Additionally, Rabbit now allows users to personalize the R1’s interface through AI-generated prompts, further enhancing its adaptability and usability.
This new feature builds on Rabbit’s vision of creating AI tools that streamline digital interactions. By allowing the R1 to observe and replicate tasks, teach mode aims to reduce repetitive actions and empower users to focus on more meaningful activities. Despite its experimental status, the potential applications are vast, ranging from content aggregation to automating routine online tasks.
As the technology evolves, Rabbit’s teach mode could mark a significant step forward in AI’s ability to adapt to user-specific needs, offering a glimpse into the future of personalized automation.
