^{"Mission critical browser agents at scale"}

‍

^{TL;DR - Asteroid makes browser automation seamless for startups and SMEs. Not only developers but also non-technical teams can build and run their browser agents with Asteroid, turning 45-minute manual tasks into 2-minute automated processes. Their browser agents can navigate legacy portals, fill out forms, and extract data—all without brittle scripts, high costs, or maintenance headaches.}

‍Founded by David Mlcoch & Joe Hewett

Both AI engineers who had to solve the same problem independently. Joe built AI systems that stopped $100M+ in fraud annually. David developed fraud investigation agents for fintechs.

After years of building mission-critical automation, they learned that automation only works with intelligent guardrails, human oversight, and continuous learning.

They first built Asteroid as a developer tool for safe AI deployment—offering guardrails, human-in-the-loop workflows, and continuous evaluations. But they quickly realized:

**Browser agents need these safeguards even more.**
✅ Guardrails – "Don’t click on this."
✅ Human oversight – "Ping me before you submit."
✅ Continuous learning – "The website changed—adapt."

Instead of just developer tools, they have shifted to building browser agents with safety and reliability baked in!

‍

The Problem

Traditional automation tools like RPA are too expensive for non-enterprise customers, costing $10,000 per automation. Meanwhile, startups and SMEs lack the resources to maintain Selenium or Playwright scripts at scale, as these frequently break due to UI changes.

‍

The Solution

Browser agents bridge this gap—offering the flexibility of scripting with the reliability of RPA. With 2025’s computing models, web automation is now 100x cheaper and more robust, unlocking thousands of new use cases.

This makes automation accessible not just to enterprises but also to SMEs and startups, particularly those that need to connect their AI agents to legacy portals.

‍

How It Works

Asteroid transforms any browser task into an agentic workflow. Simply show Asteroid what to do—via a screen recording, SOP, or written instructions—and get an agentic workflow. You can then call it through their web UI or API.

Behind the scenes, Asteroid spins up a secure, headless browser, handles authentication, executes workflows, and seamlessly integrates human review when needed—all without burdening your developers. They ensure the agent improves over time.
