For a startup introducing a new AI-native experience without control over an OS like iOS or Android, hardware was the only viable path. Launching as an app would get lost in the noise; the physical device created its own distribution channel.

The forthcoming OS2 introduces a "Creations" feature. Users can speak a prompt like "I want to play snake" and the device's agent will generate a functional application on the fly, tailored to the R1's hardware specifications.

For a coding agent to be genuinely autonomous, it cannot just run in a user's local workspace. Google's Jules agent is designed with its own dedicated cloud environment. This architecture allows it to execute complex, multi-day tasks independently, a key differentiator from agents that require a user's machine to be active.

The R1 is designed for fragmented, quick-use cases, acting as a dedicated device for tasks like translation or quick queries. This positions it as a competitor to specific apps like ChatGPT, not the iPhone, avoiding a direct battle with smartphones.

The LAM is not a model in the traditional sense, but an agent system. It uses the best available LLMs for language understanding and connects them to Rabbit's proprietary tech for controlling actions, allowing for modular upgrades of the underlying AI.

By running AI models directly on the user's device, the app can generate replies and analyze messages without sending sensitive personal data to the cloud, addressing major privacy concerns.

Amazon's lawsuit against Perplexity's AI agent isn't just about a technical violation, but an existential threat. These agents can search the entire internet for the best product, turning the web into a decentralized 'Everything Store' and destroying Amazon's moat of centralized convenience.

Unlike service platforms like Uber that rely on real-world networks, Amazon's high-margin ad business is existentially threatened by AI agents that bypass sponsored listings. This vulnerability explains its uniquely aggressive legal stance against Perplexity, as it stands to lose a massive, growing revenue stream if users stop interacting directly with its site.

For years, businesses have focused on protecting their sites from malicious bots. This same architecture now blocks beneficial AI agents acting on behalf of consumers. Companies must rethink their technical infrastructure to differentiate and welcome these new 'good bots' for agentic commerce.
