It's time to change the subject a little, since it seems that the Rabbit r1 has monopolized all the covers wherever we look and it seems that nothing else is talked about within the world of hardware devices that integrate artificial intelligence.

Change how you relate to your computer

And that is why today I come to talk about a gadget I have to admit that, although I discovered it a little over a month ago in the presentation video they released on Twitter, I am still curious and, why not say it, a bit of ignorance.

On their website the first thing we can see is that «The 01 Light is a voice interface for your home computer. Can see your screen, use your apps and learn new skills«. Doesn't that sound familiar to you? Let's explore a little more about it.

What is 01 Light Open Interpreter

Open Interpreter's 01 Light is an innovative hardware device that we are told acts as a personal assistant of artificial intelligence through voice, and which is also designed to control our computer using natural language. 

This device is part of a new generation of technology that allows users Interact with your computers in a more intuitive and efficient way, performing a variety of tasks without the need for a keyboard or mouse.

We can load the language model on our own computer or if we prefer, from the servers of the Open Interpreter cloud itself. Also, although it seems that it apparently does not have a SIM slot, it allows you to connect to a hotspot mobile or Wifi.

How 01 Light works

The operation is as simple as that promised by the Humane AI Pin or the Rabbit r1: Press, talk and wait for the response. Easy and simple. But they are not equal. One of the differences we see with these artificial intelligence devices is that what the 01 Light actually does is use the computer just as you would.

In the presentation video you can see how when he asks about the weather, On 01 open the browser, the weather forecast website and find the answer, which he subsequently plays on what appears to be his speakers.

As we see, It is capable of operating our computer in the same way that we would do it, not looking for the answer in our own repository but finding it just as we would do if we had the computer in front of us.

Questions that 01 Light raises for me as a user

The first question that this raises in me is—as with the rest of the devices of this style— How long will the entire process take?Since the Humane was slow, the Rabbit improved its response somewhat, but on this occasion it is not clearly appreciated as it is a recorded demo.

And as we have already learned from this newly initiated world of devices powered by artificial intelligence, pre-recorded demos are not a guarantee of the final product, so let's be cautious even with this gadget.

I have to admit that the part in which he asks the 01 Light to locate a PDF file on your computer desktop and send it by email. Essentially it is having that assistant that we were looking for in, for example, the Rabbit r1 but more "real."

The “Teach Mode” of Light 01

It's amazing - considering it's still a demo - that kind of learning mode that we so impatiently await in the Rabbit r1 and how people Open Interpreter seems to have been implemented in a satisfactory and, above all, fast manner.

As they say in the presentation video, This can be done with any application or workflow we want, even with websites without the need for authentication, since what it does is use your computer. As simple as teaching him the steps to follow, asking him and waiting for him to execute the orders we are giving him.

Where to buy the 01 Light and its price

Although you can pre-purchase, At the moment it seems that they only sell in the United States, although I hope this changes as the weeks go by and that we can reserve it for some countries in the European Union.

The 01 Open Interpreter can be reserved at a price of about €104 - depending on the Euro-Dollar exchange rate - but as I mentioned, at the moment it is not available for other countries than the USA, although as we saw previously, it is possible to buy for other countries through a courier.

Yes it seems that will be available in advance for developers and will have a mobile application, the device itself and will launch the language model that allows the computer to be managed through the commands and learning that we give it.

In fact on their Discord channel There is more movement on the part of these developers than samples of the final product. I want to think that they are taking it easy, seeing the latest events with rabbit r1 and the Humane AI Pin.

The technical specifications of the 01 Light

At the moment I have been unable to find anything like the technical specifications of the 01 Light. I suppose that later we will have more information on the subject, since we will learn more and more about it as time goes by.

Possible Uses

I imagine myself with the 01 Open Interpreter in my hands and I can only think that it can be used in a variety of scenarios, from home environments to offices and professional workspaces.

• Office Task Automation: Automate repetitive tasks such as managing emails and calendars.

• Media Control: Operate media playing applications and adjust system settings without manual interaction.

• Programming Assistance: Assist in writing and executing code using voice commands, especially useful for developers and programmers.

In short, anything you do on the computer with your hands should be able to be done with the 01 Light. It's just a matter of thinking about what you need, training it for it and letting it do it for you...

My personal opinion

I would say to be cautious, and even more so seeing how the latest events have been in the world of technology, although it seems that the 01 light Open Interpreter represents a significant step towards the integration of artificial intelligence in our lives.

With its open source approach and its ability to perform tasks using voice commands, this device not only offers a new way to interact with computers, but also promotes greater customization and development by the community of users and developers.

I would love for it to turn out well. Not to you?
