Simular, a startup developing AI agents for Mac and Windows, secured $21.5 million in Series A funding. Its technology focuses on automating PC tasks rather than browser-based activities, allowing agents to perform complex actions like data entry. The company launched its Mac OS 1.0 version and is collaborating with Microsoft on a Windows agent. Founders with DeepMind experience aim to address AI hallucination challenges through deterministic workflows. Their neuro-symbolic approach lets users audit automated processes, distinguishing them from competitors.
