No, you don't need a 'very bespoke AOSP' to turn your phone into a Rabbit R1 — here's proof (www.androidauthority.com)

  • Rabbit R1, AI gadget, runs on Android app, not requiring "very bespoke AOSP" firmware as claimed by Rabbit.
  • Rabbit R1 launcher app can run on existing Android phones, not needing system-level permissions for core functionality.
  • Rabbit R1 firmware analysis shows minimal modifications to standard AOSP, contradicting claims of custom hardware necessity by Rabbit.

I've no skin in the game related to this device or software. I simply don't care. However, in terms of an AI assistant, I am curious if there is anything on the market, including this ~APK~ device, that is worth using. For someone who is privacy centric, advert avoidant, and security focused... does (or even can) such an app/tool exist?

You won't like anything on offer currently except for that which is entirely self hosted.

What are a couple of the best self hosted options? I wouldn't mind giving it a go on my server. I may not have enough juice with what I currently run, but perhaps as a proof of concept first and then new hardware later.
