Rabbit Is Back, This Time With an AI Agent App

Rabbit, a company that previously made dedicated AI hardware, has launched OS3, a cross-platform software system that runs AI agents on devices you already own, such as desktop computers and phones through various applications. Rather than requiring specialized hardware, OS3 operates in the cloud and connects to your existing devices through a local agent that can execute tasks across multiple machines and autonomously write and debug code. The company is shifting strategy after its original R1 device received poor reviews upon launch, though the founder claims it was financially successful with over 100,000 units sold. This pivot reflects how AI agent technology has matured since the R1's release, with the capability to handle tasks like managing spreadsheets and participating in messaging conversations now functioning more reliably than when the R1 first launched.
