SimonBalmain · x · 2026-08-27
Developer Jonathan Josephs built an app for the Rabbit R1 that transforms it from a task tool into a casual desktop chat companion.
- Core Features: The device displays animated eyes that blink and glance around.
- Interactions: Includes basic chat via side button, "Tap to Chat" to start topics, and "Idle Time Chat" to automatically initiate conversations when inactive.
- Design Goal: Creates a relaxed, playful, and natural engagement experience rather than a utilitarian tool.
