Ang Li Is Teaching Computers to Do the Clicking
After years working on maps, ads and autonomous cars, the Simular co-founder arrived at a practical thesis: useful AI must operate in the messy world, remember what works and earn the right to repeat it.
Simular
Simular is a Palo Alto-based AI company building autonomous computer-use agents that operate desktops, browsers, and phones the way a person does - clicking, typing, and navigating graphical interfaces. Its open-source Agent S framework and its always-on assistant Sai use a neuro-symbolic approach that turns exploratory agent runs into deterministic, auditable code to reduce hallucinations. Founded in 2023 by former Google DeepMind researchers Ang Li and Jiachen Yang, Simular has raised about $26.5M and posts state-of-the-art results on computer-use benchmarks.
