chromie.dev
chromie.dev (YC S26) is an all-in-one business development, capture, and proposal platform that helps firms find, qualify, and win federal and state, local, and education (SLED) government contracts. Built on the founders' 'deterministic stack for web agents' - browser agents that pair LLM reasoning with the reliability of RPA - the platform continuously scrapes procurement portals, fit-scores opportunities, predicts recompetes before they hit the market, extracts buried requirements from RFPs and SOWs, and drafts compliant proposals, with every parsed field traced back to its source clause for audit and QA.
Switchboard
Switchboard was a cloud coworking platform built for remote and hybrid teams. Instead of screen-sharing and tab-juggling, it put video and live, editable web apps - Google Docs, Figma, Jira, Trello and more - side by side in persistent virtual rooms, so a team could return to a project exactly where it left off. Founded in 2020 by serial entrepreneur Amir Ashkenazi, the company raised roughly $38 million from investors including Sequoia Capital, Icon Ventures, Spark Capital and HubSpot Ventures, and held five patents. In late 2024 Ashkenazi wound down Switchboard and pivoted the company into Airtop, an AI web-agent and browser-automation platform.
Kernel
Kernel is a San Francisco startup building browser infrastructure for AI agents and web automations. Its cloud browsers launch in a few hundred milliseconds, persist login state across workflows, and evade bot detection, letting developers point agents at the live web without operating their own browser fleet. Backed by Accel and Y Combinator, Kernel raised $22M and says it is used by thousands of teams building agents, including Cash App and Rye.
Zeroframe
Zeroframe is the company behind Andoria, an AI-powered customer onboarding agent that learns how web applications work and generates personalized walkthroughs for users who get stuck. Founded in San Francisco in 2024 by Daryl Budiman and Anirudh Ramprasad - two former MultiOn engineers who helped scale that AI startup to a triple-digit million-dollar valuation in under nine months - Zeroframe's flagship product drops into any web app with a single script tag and autonomously shows users exactly what to do, reducing churn by turning confusion into clarity.
