We raised $9M to give your agents the internet. Led by @generalcatalyst, with @orangecollectv and Robinhood Ventures. Search, scrape, crawl, monitor with one API trusted by 800+ customers. We’re making it ridiculously easy to build with web data.

We raised a $4.5M seed to let agents text people. Since April: 50K+ developers, 450K monthly npm downloads and 10x revenue. Bring your agent to iMessage, WhatsApp and more → tryphoton.ai

We just raised an $8M seed round to kill AWS, GCP, and Azure. Introducing instacloud.com, the agent-native serverless cloud. Your team is shipping code like never before. But you're getting caught up in manual, tedious DevOps work trying to deploy it. InstaCloud provides the serverless compute that lets your services autoscale, with all the infrastructure managed for you. Agents branch into complete replica environments when working, keeping prod safe and iteration speed high. And of course, it all works seamlessly with agents through MCP/CLI. Get off the traditional, legacy cloud. Start deploying your services on InstaCloud today.

EXCITED TO LAUNCH: Akai (akai.run) Deel added >$140M ARR in 90 days without increasing headcount by automating~600 Full Time Employees' equivalent in work with Akai. Akai was an internal tool to automate our painfully repetitive operations in Finance, HR, Accounts Payable, and Compliance, etc. We never intended to make this a product. But we watched revenue per employee grow from $130K to $215K We built >8k agents that do the work of ~600 employees It had such a dramatic impact on our business that today we are launching it for everyone. How it works: Say you're automating payment reconciliation: 1. Record your screen while manually matching a messy transaction and Akai will capture your screen, voice, server requests 2. Akai will see that you pulled unformatted wire transfer info from an archaic bank portal, put it in some excel sheet, checked NetSuite invoices, payment history, and put a ticket on Zendesk 3. Akai reads between the lines and build a workflow + steps + conditional guardrails. It learns tacit edge cases, like resolving malformed invoice references without you writing a single regex 4. Simply connect NetSuite, your ledger, Zendesk, PSPs, and even legacy bank portals with zero API access 5. Run the workflow and tell it what to adjust in plain English: "strip slashes on wire memos and auto-apply partial payments." It adapts instantly 6. Once it works for you, add 100s of colleagues. Your entire payment ops team forks and extends the workflow for new PSPs, secondary ledgers, or regional settlement rules 7. We automated 85% of our payment reconciliation end to end, eliminating 500+ hours of soul-crushing manual grunt work every single week. Claude Code/Codex can't do this in multiplayer mode. Every person rebuilds the same skill from scratch in their own way. Deel built Akai to: 1. Understand backend operations edge cases (it had to work for our 7000 person team first) 2. Collaborative across 1000s of employees 3. Self-Learning from millions of runs 4. Optimises cost and gets cheaper every run We're so confident that we're announcing an Automation Guarantee: If our engineers can't automate a thousand of hours of work in your first 30 days, you get a full refund.
