Founded in 2023 by former DeepMind researchers, Simular is building AI agents that interact with computers and smartphones in the same manner as humans do - a vision that has earned the firm the moniker "the Autonomous Computer Company." The team comprises scientists and engineers drawn from DeepMind, Google, and other leading AI laboratories, and it maintains a research-driven culture that publishes regularly at top conferences while translating findings directly into deployed products.
The company's technical work spans agentic AI, neuro-symbolic frameworks, lifelong reinforcement learning, large language models, and symbolic code, underpinned by contributions to open-source frameworks. Its flagship product, Agent S3, demonstrates the practical payoff of this approach: the system has achieved a 72.6% success rate on the OSWorld benchmark - surpassing human-level performance - alongside 90.1% on the WebVoyager browser benchmark and 71.6% on AndroidWorld smartphone tasks. Over 12,600 users have already joined the platform.
Simular has secured $21.5M in funding to advance its mission. For engineers and researchers drawn to work at the frontier of autonomous AI, where theoretical advances are expected to produce tangible, real-world impact, the company offers a rare convergence of academic rigour and product ambition.
