Rabbit has launched OS3, a software platform that lets users control desktop computers via a local agent from a browser, Telegram, iMessage, or the R1 device. Users can link up to five computers to one account, and the system routes requests—such as editing a spreadsheet—to the right machine. Rather than charging a subscription, Rabbit requires users to supply their own API keys from providers like OpenAI or Anthropic, or connect local open-source models.
