We may not yet have an agreed definition of the “agent” of him, but an beginner host want to create “agent” tools to automate different internet tasks. Such a firm, the USSE browser, has attracted a ton of interest from developers and investors thanks to its solution that makes the websites more “readable” for it.
The browser’s use told Techcrunch that it has raised a significant round of $ 17 million seed financing led by Astia Myers and Felicis with participation by Paul Graham, a capital and Nexus Venture Partners. Company funding has not been reported before.
The use of the browser, part of the Y 2025 Combine Winter Group, has gained fame in recent months. Using the use of Brower Effect Butterfly Effect Butter on his viral tool of Manus led awareness to new heights.
Magnus Müller and Gregor Zunic established the use of the browser last year through the accelerator of the Eth Zurich student project home. Müller had worked on internet replacements for years, and met with Zunic in 2024 while the pair were receiving their master’s degrees in data science. Together, according to Müller, they came up with the idea of combining internet scrap with data science to encourage a browser to perform a task.
Müller and Zunic built a demonstration of the browser’s use in five weeks – and rose. Then, they opened it with an open source.
Using the browser essentially breaks down the buttons and elements of a website in a more soluble format, “text -like” for agents. This helps agents understand different options and make decisions autonomously.
“Many agents rely on vision -based systems and try and navigate websites through screens, and in (process), things break down,” Müller said. “We turn (websites) into something agents can understand. This approach means we can run the same tasks again and again at a cheaper cost.”
There is a growing number of companies that want to make their agents interact with the most enjoyable websites, and Müller thinks that the use of the browser can become a “basic layer” that serves this need. He added that more than 20 companies in the current winter yon group used the use of browser for their requirements.
“There are companies that come to us and say,” Can we do to make it easier for agents to sail on our website? “,” Said Müller. “There are sites – for example, Linkedin – that change the way website operates all the time, so agents often fail on pages like them.”
According to Myers, Felicis has actively viewed the space of he’s agents for the last few years, and the use of the browser felt the right opportunity to increase the firm’s portfolio there. She said the company’s founding team-and its first open source approach-sailed the deal
“We think web agents are the other limit that really helps with the end of human tasks,” Myers Techcrunch told. “(W) EB agents he are this dynamic bridge among pre-heated static models that are largely focused on the text in the ever-changing digital landscape.”
