Fast, simple, reliable AI browser agent

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Smooth, an AI browser agent that acts on the web using mouse and keyboard inputs autonomously. It performs actions faster and more reliably than existing browser agents and costs significantly less to operate. Our product is designed for engineers, product managers, and designers who need automation that interacts with websites in a human-like way but without delays or failures common in other solutions.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in London, United Kingdom and intend to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose London because all founders are based here, and it's where we have our engineering and product community. Staying local keeps our team tightly coordinated.
