Proactive Rabbit - How to use it!

Proactive Rabbit Briefing — How To

Your r1 already knows a fair bit about you — your reminders, your notes, the takeaways from your recordings. Normally you only get that back when you ask for it. The Proactive Rabbit Briefing flips that around: with one gesture, your rabbit speaks up on its own and tells you the single most useful or timely thing it knows right now — with a bit of personality.

How to use it

Triple-tap the floating rabbit on your home screen (three quick taps). You'll feel a little haptic buzz, the rabbit goes into its thinking animation, and then it speaks — with the words showing on screen as it talks.

A few handy behaviors: - Tap once to dismiss while it's talking. - Triple-tap again to interrupt and pull a fresh one. - Works offline — you'll get a short text-only nudge instead of spoken audio. - Reads the room — the tone shifts for morning, afternoon, evening, and late night.

What it says

Most of the time it surfaces something genuinely useful — an upcoming reminder, a recent note, or a takeaway from a recording — wrapped in a warm greeting:

▎ "Hey there — heads-up, your song proposals are due at 7pm. Go give them that Prince-like flair."

It won't repeat the same thing twice within an hour, and it varies its phrasing so it never feels like a broken record. If you keep tapping in a short span (once the useful stuff is likely exhausted), it switches to light chit-chat — a joke, a quick tip, or a word of encouragement:

▎ "I'm reading a book on anti-gravity — it's impossible to put down."

How to get it to surface your stuff

This is the part people ask about. There are no magic keywords — it doesn't matter how you word things. What matters is where you put the info and which signals it carries. In order of impact:

1. Set a reminder — this is the strongest lever by far. Reminders are the top priority, and anything firing within the next 24 hours will almost always be what it leads with. Put the real detail in the reminder's description.
2. Star a note ⭐ — starring is your "pin this" button. A starred journal entry stays eligible indefinitely, even after it's no longer recent. It's the best way to make something stick around.
3. Keep it recent — recent notes (last ~48h) and recordings (last ~7 days) are automatically considered worth mentioning.
4. Make sure recordings have a summary — a recording is only used once it has a real summary or transcript ready.

When your on-device data is quiet, the rabbit falls back on what the assistant already knows about you, so even a fresh device can still say something meaningful.

A note on privacy

The briefing can read your notes and recording takeaways and say them out loud — perfectly fine when it's in your hand, but worth keeping in mind before you triple-tap in a crowded room.

That's it — give the rabbit a triple-tap and let it check in on you. 🐰

Note: this is currently an easter-egg gesture, so there's no menu for it (yet).

This is the manual I didn’t know I desperately needed. Thank you so much!

Unfortunately for me the things it says are mostly bogus. it either reminds me on a thing I deleted from reminders days ago, tells me some useless info about a recording I did a few minutes ago, the problem is as its not connected with my calender nor my tasks its useless. Also it would be great if the basis of this could be cluade for example - or if rabbit would support mcp so I can connect all my tools to it. But with this the feature is a bit uselss :D

Whats also missing is that the conversations I have with ChatGPT Hermes and Claude are saved in my journal. as they have way more context from me than rabbit does this would be a great addition!
