Summary
Lyu's gadget was among the first in the gold rush to create dedicated AI hardware that acted as a virtual assistant. After a buzzy launch at CES 2024, it earned scathing reviews. Since those early days, the capabilities of AI assistants have vastly improved, and now the tech is all the rage. On Tuesday, Rabbit announced OS3, a standalone “agentic operating system” designed to run across multiple screens. It’s a striking pivot for a company that once championed the handheld hardware over smartphone apps, but the environment for this type of software has ripened. Agents that handle tasks for you are all anyone in Silicon Valley talks about.
