Reduck raises $3M for AI browser automation
Daphni leads Reduck’s $3 million pre-seed round for browser-automation infrastructure used by AI agents.
What happened
Reduck raised a $3 million pre-seed round led by Daphni, with Drysdale Ventures and Galion.exe participating. The startup is developing browser-automation infrastructure and reusable scripts that let AI agents interact with websites and applications without dedicated APIs.
Why it matters
The web was designed for people clicking buttons, not agents completing tasks. Browser automation can bridge that gap, but layout changes, authentication steps and anti-bot controls make reliability difficult. Infrastructure that handles those complications could become an important part of the agent technology stack.
The bigger picture
Attention is shifting from AI that generates answers to systems that complete actions. That is driving investment in browsers, identity and observability. Reduck’s speed, cost and script-library claims remain company-reported; dependable operation across changing websites will be the more meaningful measure.
