Rabbit has unveiled a new version of its AI agent designed to manage applications in the Android environment. The published video demonstrates how the agent interacts with mobile application interfaces, executing requests. However, these functions were initially promised for the Rabbit R1 device, which never received the declared capabilities.

The development is based on the previously unveiled LAM Playground platform, a universal web agent released in 2023. In the video, engineers demonstrate how the system executes commands similar to those announced for Rabbit R1 more than a year ago. However, R1 itself, despite marketing claims from Rabbit founder and CEO Jesse Lyu in January 2024, does not support these capabilities.
During the demonstration, engineers type text commands into an interface on a laptop, and the AI agent interprets them and performs corresponding actions on an Android tablet. The system finds YouTube videos, searches for cocktail recipes, extracts a list of ingredients, and adds them to Google Keep. At one point, the engineers ask the AI agent to download the puzzle game 2048 and figure out how to play it. The agent successfully completes the task, although the process is quite slow.
Despite the overall functionality of the system, some bugs were found during testing. For example, when sending a poem via WhatsApp, the AI agent split the text into separate messages instead of sending it as a single block. One of the engineers suggested that the reason could be the lack of line breaks in the request, but the team did not double-check this. Such shortcomings indicate the need for further refinement of the algorithms for the AI agent’s interaction with mobile app interfaces.
In its blog, Rabbit emphasized that the functionality shown covers only the basic cycle of operations performed by an AI agent in the Android environment. The development is at an early stage, and its capabilities will be expanded in future updates. In addition, the company is working on creating a multi-agent system that will ensure cross-platform compatibility and support for more complex automation scenarios. Rabbit plans to disclose details about the technical architecture and capabilities of the product in the coming weeks.
