A startup, co-founded by two teenagers, Aryan Sharma and Ayush Pathak, has gained substantial support from influential figures like Sam Altman, Peak XV, Daniel Gross, and Nat Friedman. This startup, named Induced AI, aims to transform business automation through its innovative technology. Founded recently, Induced AI allows businesses to input their workflows in plain English, which is instantly translated into pseudo-code. This process is designed to automate repetitive tasks typically managed by back offices.
The platform initiates browser instances based on Chromium and employs advanced technology to read on-screen content and control the browser to complete various workflow steps. Aryan Sharma, the CEO, explained that this technology allows browser instances to interact with websites, even without APIs.
Induced AI’s interaction system is bi-directional, enabling human intervention in specific steps while handling the remaining tasks autonomously. Unlike other existing models that require manual tagging, Induced AI’s system extracts necessary information from English instructions and dynamically adjusts them as needed.
Induced AI stands out by running multiple tasks simultaneously and being entirely remote, offering a unique edge over its competition. The startup has recently onboarded small to mid-sized customers, including a sales firm using its services for employee onboarding and is exploring numerous new use cases.
The startup recently secured $2.3 million in seed funding from investors like SignalFire, Untitled Ventures, SV Angel, Superscript, Balaji Srinivasan, Julian Weisser, IDEO Colab, and OnDeck. Elaine Zelby from SignalFire praised Induced AI for its innovative approach, describing it as an advancement in robotic process automation that provides human-like interaction and efficiency.
