Panel 1

Rabbit, an underdog company, is in a conference room. Sam, Alex, and Robin are discussing the new AI agent OS3.

Alex: Look at this, Sam! OS3 is a standalone AI that runs without needing R1. It's like magic!

Robin: Magic or not, let’s make sure it’s reliable. It won’t work on my Mac, will it?

Panel 2

Sam: OS3 is working perfectly on my Mac! I’m so glad we fixed those bugs.

Alex: Don’t worry, we’re all set. No more excuses for not using Rabbit’s cloud-based OS3.

Panel 3

Robin: Hey, I found this joke on a tech blog. Remember how the R1 was supposed to be our secret weapon? Well, OS3 is like a rabbit’s new AI helper who doesn’t need its own hardware to be helpful!
