3x Founder (2 exits) - Building process-aware computer-use agents

by

Hi everyone! I'm Rahul Arulkumaran, a 3x Founder with 2 exits. My first startup was Widhya - scaled to 15,000+ users and recognized as a "Top 10 Startup in India in 2021." My 2nd startup was NFTGarage - which was an NFT Project + Launchpad - generated $500k in 6mo. Now I'm working on my 3rd startup, Browzer. I'm an active AI researcher with 40+ papers & 900+ citations, part of the Forbes Technology Council and a book reviewer at O'Reilly.

I was a Data Engineering intern 2 years back and since then I've donned multiple roles -- Data Engineer Intern -> Data Engineer II -> Data Engineer III -> AI Research Fellow -> AI Engineering Manager. The one constant through all this was that I always built were automation systems for various non-technical teams. The one thing I realized was the end goal for these companies were same, but the processes, tools and products that people used were different.

I started thinking about what would the coding agents moment for computer-use agents look like. But even before I could answer that, I realized a major problem. Lack of context. Coding agents generally have context - the codebase. But with computer use agents, just using a webpage as context isn't sufficient. Today's agentic browsers have no clue about what your processes are, what tools you use or how you even work and as such it becomes impossible to use computer-use agents in a professional setting and rely on it. In fact, browsers today "assume" your process, which is even more harmful.

Even before computer-use agents are reliable, there seemed a massive context problem. So I decided to do something about it. The question I'm trying to answer is "how do we get enough context so that a browser can become process aware?" - and that's why I'm building Browzer.

Browzer focuses on building process-aware AI agents to automate repetitive browser tasks, exactly the way you'd do it. The UI we use is our own browser, but our core difference is that we focus on understanding an individuals processes for repetitive tasks. People can record their workflows once, and Browzer's internal agents understand your process and automate any future tasks, exactly how you work!

It might not seem huge, but it's this small value add, that I believe unlocks the potential for computer-use agents to hit their true potential! Launching our product to a wider group on Wednesday on Product Hunt, would appreciate some support! Thanks everyone & nice to meet you all.
