Descriptiontext

Simular builds autonomous AI agents that operate computers—browsers, desktops, and smartphones—the way humans do, by clicking, typing, and interacting with graphical user interfaces. The company's core product, Sai, is an always-on AI co-worker that runs on a private, isolated cloud-based virtual desktop and executes multi-step tasks end-to-end across applications, APIs, terminals, and code. Sai is delivered via the sai.work web product, the Simular Pro desktop application for macOS (v1.0 released December 2025, with a Windows version in development), and Simular Cloud for isolated execution. Underlying technology combines accessibility tree parsing with vision grounding to deliver reliable, deterministic UI automation that does not rely on brittle CSS selectors—a technique that has driven the company's open-source Agent S research series to #1 rankings on the WebVoyager (90.1%), OSWorld (72.6% super-human), and AndroidWorld (71.6%) benchmarks. The team is led by founders Li Ang (CEO), Jiachen Yang, and Xin Eric Wang, all with Google DeepMind backgrounds, and has been researching AI agents since 2017.

The commercial product lineup spans Simular Pro (individual subscription), Simular for Business (team/enterprise SKU), Simular Cloud (execution infrastructure), and Simulang, a TypeScript-based open-source scripting language distributed via npm and designed to be written with AI coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor. Simular employs a hybrid go-to-market motion combining product-led growth (direct downloads, invite-code-gated free tier, Product Hunt #1 Product of the Day launch, 9.9k GitHub stars, 1.9k Discord members) with enterprise distribution through the Microsoft Windows 365 for Agents pilot and Google Cloud AI Accelerator membership. Revenue is generated via recurring subscriptions, with the company actively exploring flat-fee billing alternatives to token-based pricing for cost predictability.

The company is privately held and venture-backed. It has raised approximately $27M in total disclosed funding across a September 2023 seed ($500K), a June 2024 round (~$5M), and a December 2025 Series A of $21.5M led by Felicis with participation from NVentures (NVIDIA's venture arm), South Park Commons, Basis Set Ventures, and Flying Fish Partners. Customers to date are predominantly individual professionals and SMBs (a named case study is Trevino's Auto Mart, plus a dedicated dental practice vertical solution), with the Microsoft partnership positioning the company for enterprise expansion. No revenue or ARR figures have been publicly disclosed.

The New Stack“Posterity will find it ludicrous”: Sai agent hits 73% on OSWorld 2.0 performing routine (but necessary) workSimular's Sai agent scored 73% on OSWorld 2.0, outperforming GPT-5.6 Sol (62.57%) and Opus 5 (70.57%). The company claims Sai achieves this at about two-thirds the cost of the others. Sai is designed for routine workplace tasks like invoice validation and recruitment outreach.The Korea HeraldSimular sees Korea’s hardware edge in AI agent eraSimular CEO Ang Li, a former Google DeepMind researcher, outlined the company's focus on AI agents that autonomously operate computers, describing the shift from chatbots to 'autonomous computers' capable of clicking, typing, and navigating applications on behalf of users. The California-based startup, founded in 2023, has raised approximately $27 million from investors including Samsung NEXT and is exploring Korea as a long-term market given the country's strengths in hardware such as semiconductors, displays, and automotive components that could serve as 'bodies' for AI agents. Simular held a public event with Seoul National University's AI Institute to present its research roadmap, positioning Korea as a key potential partner ecosystem for the emerging AI agent era.BEAMSTART: NewsSimular Explores Flat-Fee Billing for AI Agents Amid Token Usage ChallengesSimular, a startup focused on AI agents, is reportedly exploring flat-fee billing models as an alternative to traditional token-based pricing. The shift addresses challenges with unpredictable costs that arise when AI agents run complex, repetitive loops, as flat fees offer users simpler budgeting and stability. Industry observers note this reflects broader trends toward more flexible, value-based billing systems in the AI agent market, which is gradually maturing from earlier subscription models.SimularSimular extends Sai to enterprise agent workflows with Windows 365 for AgentsAt Microsoft Build 2026, Simular demonstrated its AI worker "Sai" processing insurance claims overnight within a legacy line-of-business application by interacting through standard mouse and keyboard inputs without requiring APIs. The demonstration utilized Windows 365 for Agents, now generally available, which provides secured Cloud PCs enabling AI agents to operate across both modern and legacy enterprise systems. Simular was an early-adopter pilot partner for the platform starting November 2025, and the company says this integration is opening new enterprise opportunities for its computer-use agents.Simular15 Best AI Assistants in 2026: We Tested Them All to Find the One That Actually WorksA technology review publication tested 15 AI assistants across five real-world productivity scenarios over 120 hours, evaluating them across email triage, meeting preparation, research, content creation, and cross-application workflows. Sai by Simular achieved the highest overall rating (9.2/10) for its ability to autonomously execute tasks across applications, while ChatGPT led conversational AI (9.0/10) and GitHub Copilot topped coding tools (9.1/10). The review identifies a market shift from text-generating chatbots toward autonomous AI agents capable of executing multi-step workflows without user intervention.SimularTop 5 Best claude computer use alternatives for TeamsThis article is a product comparison guide evaluating AI "computer use" agents that automate desktop tasks for teams, comparing Simular Pro, OpenAI CUA/Operator, Kuse Cowork, Auto-GPT, and Microsoft Copilot against criteria including ease of use, desktop coverage, autonomy, reliability, and pricing.

The author describes founding Simular after conducting an informal experiment suggesting tech workers spend 2.5 hours daily moving their mouse, and proposes that effective AI agents need both 'fast thinking' for routine tasks and 'slow thinking' for complex problem-solving. The author presents this as a vision for democratizing personal assistants, which elite workers have historically had access to, though the article contains no verified data or announcements of actual product capabilities or funding.
