Startup Rabbit Raises $20M to Build AI Assistant That Learns by Observation

Rabbit is a startup building an AI platform, OS2, that can understand natural language instructions and execute tasks on phones and computers. It has raised $20M in funding.

Rabbit claims its AI model can understand complex user intentions and operate interfaces like Uber, Amazon etc. It learns by observing humans use software.

The model is robust to interface changes and only needs to observe a task once to learn it. Rabbit plans to release mobile hardware to run the platform.

Rabbit wants to license the platform and sell custom devices, competing with efforts by Microsoft, OpenAI etc. It has attracted thousands of users with early demos.

The founders believe focusing on end users and deploying systems quickly is key. Rabbit is building the full software stack to support its AI model.
