Raven is taking preorders for an AI phone with no ship date

A November 1 report by Founderland says Raven has opened preorders for a phone built around software agents that can help with everyday tasks. The public Y Combinator directory frames the product as a phone where people tell agents what to do across the tools and apps they already use. The report also notes that Raven has not announced a shipping date.

That gap between an ambitious interface and an unfinished device is the main story. A phone is not just another app surface. Calls, messages, permissions, battery life and reliability all shape whether people will trust automation with routine work. A product page can explain the intended workflow, but it cannot answer those questions for a device that has not reached independent reviewers.

The useful next signal is not another promise about agents. It is a careful demonstration of one complete task, including the user approval points and what happens when a connected service fails. Buyers should also read the current reservation terms closely and distinguish an announced preorder from a shipped product. That keeps early interest from being mistaken for proof of readiness.

The broader category is worth following because phones are where many personal workflows already happen. For now, Raven is a launch to watch, not a product we can evaluate hands on. Browse other new launches on RadarMakers.
