Rivian plans to add third-party AI agents like Claude and OpenAI’s Dots

Rivian’s current system routes requests to either local edge models or cloud-based ones, depending on complexity. The company’s in-house agentic framework already connects to external apps like Google Calendar. Scaringe emphasized that agents would operate like third-party apps, requiring seamless context-sharing across devices. This approach contrasts with Tesla’s recent integration of SpaceX’s Grok chatbot, which operates independently of the car’s core systems. Rivian’s December ‘AI & Autonomy Day’ event is expected to provide further details.
