Why They Are Building This

Four weeks before Demo Day, they pivoted to build for ourselves.

Most AI web agents today are “set-and-forget” chats—you hand them off and check back later. But what about workflows you actually want to drive? Navigating platforms, moving data, making quick decisions—these moments demand instant, context-aware models that work with you, not just for you.

Imagine using Operator to order DoorDash—a frustratingly back-and-forth relay with no real-time visibility. That same friction exists for work tools like Jira, GSuite, and GitHub, where users need instant feedback and responsive action, not slow AI handoffs.

That’s why they are taking a Cursor (vs. Devin) approach—for the browser.

The Problem

Modern work is a juggling act of 15+ tabs, software bloat, and constant UI friction, just to complete a single task.

The real bottleneck isn’t just automation—it’s context switching. Traditional solutions force users to memorize shortcuts (appeals to devs, but leaves everyone else behind), while AI tools make you adapt to them instead of living right where you work.

Why not turn your browser itself into an intelligent personal workspace?

How It Works

With simple voice and text, Dex enhances familiar interfaces, automates mundane actions, and understands your intent.

  • Smart Navigation🔸Find, execute, and move between apps.
  • Suggest Context🔸Cut down tab-switching and manual searching.
  • Cross-App Automation🔸Shortcut multi-step workflows, zero setup.
  • Adaptive UI/UX🔸Reshape, replicate, and browse by your rules.

Think of it like Spotlight Search meets AI automation + personal expert for everyday apps.
