Introducing Yutori Navigator

31 years ago, the modern web era began with Netscape Navigator.

Today, we’re introducing Yutori Navigator — a web agent that autonomously navigates websites on its own cloud browser to complete tasks for you.

Navigator achieves pareto-domination over Gemini 2.5, Claude 4.5, and OpenAI Operator

• 10%-20% accuracy gains across benchmarks
• 2-3x faster
• Uniformly preferred in head-to-head human-evals

Simply put, the best web agent in the world

[Jerry Wu @Jerr_Wu]

Excited to announce the release of Westworld v1: A suite of highly realistic browser simulators with verifiable rewards for web agent benchmarking and RL

[Zynk @ZynkLabs]

We’ve raised $5M in seed funding to power this journey, led by @HivemindCap , with participation from @cbventures , @alliance , @transposevc , @Polymorphic, @Tykhe_Ventures , and @ContributionCap .

And today, we’re opening up our new site → https://t.co/IYPgKS8315

announcing @adamdotnew’s $4.1m seed round, to build the future of cad

we’re hiring.

[Cathy Di @itsCathyDi]

We just raised an $11M seed to help developers build complex agents across any model and any tool in 5 lines of code. Our round was led by @KindredVentures (@stevejang) and @saga_ventures (@maxaltman, @braveben, @itsthomson).

At @DedalusLabs, we believe the future of AI agents isn’t linear or deterministic. Agents should know when to stop, when to branch, when to reattempt a task, and when to pause and ask for context.

As a developer, we make your job simple: define the prompt, select the right tools and guardrails, and let your agent run.
We were tired of writing hundreds of lines of code and battling Dockerfiles and infra—all for a spaghetti agent that breaks under stress.

With Dedalus, you don’t have to do things the hard way.

Our open-source SDK supports vendor-agnostic model handoffs, chaining both local and hosted (MCP) tools, and streaming across any provider—all in 5 lines of code.

Plus, our cloud infra lets you deploy an MCP server in 3 clicks so anyone can equip their agent with your tools.

Let us do the heavy lifting so your agents can fly 🪽

Thank you to our incredible team and our early supporters: @c10n, @habibh from @e14fund, @YazanElBaba from @emergencecap, @donnystalter from @SunshineLakeVC, @karrwinn from @transposevc, @liquid2V, @fpvventures, @forwarddeploy, @AntWilson, @iamcal, @Thom_Wolf, @ashtom, @HazanPrinceton, @tri_dao

[Dedalus Labs @dedaluslabs]

We’re excited to launch Dedalus Labs, an AI-native cloud platform for developers to build agentic AI applications.

Connect any model to any MCP servers, local or remotely hosted by us, and build complex agents in 5 lines of code.

Announcing Our $3.8M Seed Round to Make Voice AI Agents Reliable 🎙

If 2024 was the year of demos, 2025 is the year of reliable voice agents.

We’re excited to share that @HammingAI has raised $3.8M in seed funding led by @MischiefVC, with participation from @ycombinator, @aigrant, @pioneer_fund, @CoughdropCap, @coalitionvc, @orangecollectv, @twentytwovc, @transposevc, @OliveTreeCap and an incredible group of angels.

Read more about us here:
1) Blog: https://t.co/lROYWt8jfk
2) Coverage by Kerry Flynn from Axios: https://t.co/z9RaSltM1l

Humans make billions of calls every day. AI voice agents will perform a majority of these calls. Ensuring their reliability is tough — small changes can break responses, and manual testing doesn’t scale. Even when you ship your voice agents to production, teams spend hours manually listening to calls to find bugs and edge cases.

At @HammingAI, we automate testing, monitoring, and governance for Voice AI agents, helping teams catch failures, optimize prompts, and flag edge cases in production. Hamming makes your Voice AI agents trustworthy.

Thanks to our team, customers, and investors for believing in this mission.
