Featuring direct computer control and universal skills compatibility, OS3 is the agentic operating system built to do it all.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- rabbit, a pioneer in consumer-level agentic AI, today announced the general release of OS3, an agentic operating system. Built around a single chat interface as its primary entry point, OS3 changes how people work with their devices. A user states an outcome, and the system works out the rest by reasoning with connected AI models and whatever else the task calls for: the web, services already in use, or connected devices.

OS3 runs in the cloud, but connects to and operates devices through the rabbit agent, which installs with a single command. One account can be connected to up to five devices, and OS3 determines where each task runs (on a single device, or across several), moving work between them as the task requires, along with pulling any needed files, applications, and skills.

One Identity Across Every Screen

The entirety of OS3 is built upon a unified user identity that puts an end to isolated accounts and fragmented chat threads, enabling:

- Multi-Device Orchestration: Instead of forcing users to choose between performing a task on a local PC, cloud VM, or dedicated AI computer, OS3 determines the optimal device (or combination of devices) automatically before executing.

- One Continuous Conversation: With OS3, there is no session list or individual threads to manage, and in their place is a single, linear conversation. OS3 keeps track of past outputs and recalls what the user has told it before, all while continually working in the background.

Powerful and Open, By Design

OS3 is open at every layer that matters: the model it runs on, the skills it can use, and the devices it can reach. This flexibility unlocks:

- "Bring Your Own Key" Flexibility: Users can power OS3 interchangeably with API keys from the latest models of frontier AI labs, cloud router platforms or locally hosted models. Users can also swap models without affecting context, memory, or skills.

- Universal Skill Compatibility: Every skill, published anywhere, is now something that OS3 can do. Just copy the skill's URL, paste it into the chat, and OS3 will set it up without requiring command line prompts or additional configuration files.

- Direct Computer Control & Autonomous Coding: OS3 fuses the capabilities of an LLM with the power of coding and personal agents. Using rabbit's DLAM technology in conjunction with a local agent, OS3 can operate desktop software, local files, and web pages directly on a user's behalf, in addition to writing, debugging, and running software workflows autonomously.

Created with Data Privacy and Security in Mind

OS3 can act on a user's behalf, but this control doesn't come at the expense of data privacy or security. Instead, OS3 protects users' data by:

- Only Accessing Files Locally: The rabbit agent runs locally on your machine and does not copy, store, use, or sell your data. As with any cloud-based assistant, your conversations with OS3 and the memory built from them are stored on rabbit's servers, but the files on your computer are not.

- Handling Context through the Model Provider: OS3 carries out tasks by sending relevant content to a connected model provider of the user's choice, which then handles the data under its own terms. Before this handoff occurs, the data is first processed through rabbit's servers, along with any prompts needed to complete the task. rabbit does not keep a copy of this data, and the files themselves remain on your computer.

- Only Taking User-Initiated Actions: OS3 acts in response to your instructions and does not run tasks on its own. Sensitive actions require your confirmation, and system-level permissions are requested locally by the operating system. Users can also revoke permission at any time.

A Proven Track Record of Innovation

Since its founding, rabbit has pursued the same core mission: finding the best solution for human-machine interaction. From the LAM behind r1, to OS3 today, every solution shipped has been at the industry's frontier, and many have been released ahead of comparable technologies from far larger companies. OS3 is the capstone of rabbit's continuous work in pursuit of this mission, and it arrives on the heels of twelve consecutive months of upgrades delivered for rabbit devices, including rabbitOS 2, terminal mode, and a move to bring-your-own-key support for DLAM.

"We've spent two and a half years building toward a system you don't operate, but instead just tell it the outcome," said Jesse Lyu, Founder and CEO of rabbit. "OS3 allows users to stop worrying about whether a task is technically possible, and start collaborating on whatever is on their mind (whether a wild idea or a concrete problem). By combining open skill compatibility with direct computer control, OS3 turns human intent into complex, multi-device action."

Availability and Roadmap

Today, users can get started by visiting os3.rabbit.tech via desktop to log in or create a rabbit account, and finish onboarding in a single conversation. Then, they can talk to OS3 through the web portal on desktop or mobile, a paired Telegram, iMessage/RCS/SMS, or with rabbit's own r1. Additional input methods are coming soon.

On the other side, any device running the local rabbit agent can be controlled by OS3: Windows, Mac, or Linux local PCs, cloud VMs, dedicated AI machines, and the r1 today, with more device types to follow. rabbit's upcoming cyberdeck will also ship with OS3 as its default operating system.

About rabbit inc.

rabbit inc. is an AI startup rethinking how humans and machines interact. Founded by two-time Y Combinator alumnus Jesse Lyu (Fmr. Raven Tech), the company is building rabbit OS, an agentic operating system that works across platforms and performs actions on users' behalf.

Ande brings corporate entertainment into a single platform and gives venues a direct channel to enterprise bookings.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ande, the AI-native network for corporate entertainment, emerges from stealth with more than $52 million in seed and Series A funding from Lightspeed Venture Partners, Redpoint Ventures, Duration Ventures, and Sierra Ventures, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures.

Enterprises spend an estimated $325 billion a year on entertainment from client dinners and team outings to catering, sporting events, and gifting. Yet the booking and expense management behind it is fragmented across credit cards, AP systems, and consumer apps creating an extremely manual reconciliation process for finance teams.

Ande brings structure to one of the last unmanaged categories of enterprise spend by giving teams a single platform to book entertainment effortlessly, while finance and legal teams keep full visibility and control over every dollar spent.

Ande's agentic workflows surface venue availability, book experiences, route approvals, execute contracts, and reconcile expenses automatically. Executive assistants, office managers, field marketers, GTM teams, and their managers all work together in a single, multiplayer workspace in order to book team offsites and deal-closing dinners, while the agents move each request through approval, signing, and payment.

More than 60 enterprises already run their entertainment on Ande, reporting savings of 12 to 15 percent. Customers like Cloudflare, Salesforce, McGraw Hill, Netskope, Navan, Sigma Computing, Monday.com, Workato, Semgrep, Checkout, Rillet, and many more contribute to over $400 million in entertainment spend flowing through the platform annually.

"Entertainment is one of the most important things a company does. It builds culture, closes deals and deepens the relationships that matter most. Yet the infrastructure to manage it is broken on both sides of every transaction," said Lohit Sarma, CEO and co-founder of Ande.

"Ande is the first enterprise channel between corporate buyers and the world's best entertainment vendors. Part of the reason this is such a hard problem to solve is that venues and entertainment providers don't have a centralized distribution system to plug into. We had to build it. We've spent two and half years working with venues to digitize their data, and train models and agents for these workflows that are unique to enterprises," continued Sarma.

For venues on the other side of the transaction, Ande is the corporate sales and marketing channel that never existed. Venues have historically had no pipeline into the corporate market. Ande gives them a platform to market to, engage with, and transact with corporate buyers at scale. Among the current partners are 1,600 hospitality venues including some of the largest and most decorated hospitality groups like Altamarea Group, Che Fico, Gracious Hospitality, JKS, The Mina Group, MML, Nobu, Riviera Dining Group, Tao Group Hospitality, Unapologetic Foods, Bacchus Management Group, Wish You Were Here, and Wolfgang Puck. Over 93,000 entertainment venues are on Ande's network today.

"Our programs are high stakes and high visibility, with our executive leadership team and key customers at the core of each event we host," said Vicky Chung, Director of Corporate Events at Netskope. "My team and I trust Ande's platform, and especially the team behind it. I have real-time visibility into what's happening across every event, and when I need something done right, I know it will be. My team is now focused on reaching the executives that matter and scaling the program vs. worrying about the logistics."

"Entertainment is every enterprise's biggest expense line that is not yet well managed. For that reason, there are financial inefficiencies and a poor experience," notes Arif Janmohamed, Venture Partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners and Co-Founder of Duration Ventures. "Ande is the connective tissue, the perfect handshake between corporations and venues. Lohit is an exceptional founder, and the size of the market opportunity is largely unbounded."

Redpoint Ventures Managing Director Alex Bard notes, "Particularly when we invest in an early-stage company, our confidence has everything to do with the founder and their ambition. Lohit has both startup DNA and the enterprise experience to solve this problem. His vision for Ande is bold and ambitious."

About Ande

Ande is the AI-native network for corporate entertainment. Over 60 enterprises, including Cloudflare, Salesforce, and McGraw Hill already book, manage, and measure every experience through Ande, moving more than $400 million a year through a network of 93,000 entertainment providers across 90+ cities. For the vendors on the other side of the transaction, Ande is the dedicated corporate channel that's never existed. Learn more at ande.ai.

About the New York Jets

The New York Jets were founded in 1959 as the New York Titans and served as a charter member of the American Football League. Following the 1968 season, the team made history by becoming the first AFL franchise to win a world championship, defeating the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III—a victory widely credited with validating the AFL ahead of its 1970 merger with the NFL. Today, as one of the league's flagship franchises in the nation's largest media market, the Jets represent the sport on one of its biggest global stages.

The Jets enhance the fan experience through innovation and storytelling, including 1JD Entertainment, a digital content platform that connects fans across social and digital channels. The organization is also committed to community impact, supporting youth football, girls' and women's flag football, and programs serving disadvantaged communities throughout the tri-state area.

The Jets play at MetLife Stadium - one of the world's most successful multi use venues - and are headquartered at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center in Florham Park, New Jersey.

A cornerstone franchise of the National Football League, the New York Football Giants began play in 1925. The Giants have won eight championships: 1927, 1934, 1938, 1956, 1986, 1990, 2007 and 2011. After twice winning two titles in five years, the Giants are the only NFL franchise with Super Bowl victories in four consecutive decades. Headquartered at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center in East Rutherford, N.J., the Giants enter their 102nd season of play this fall.
