Composite Raises $5.6M to Liberate Professionals From Tedious Grunt Work

Backed by Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross, Menlo Ventures, and Anthropic, Composite transforms your browser into an intelligent autopilot that predicts and automates your busywork

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Composite, the startup automating the browser to eliminate digital grunt work, today announced $5.6 million in seed funding. The round was led by Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross of NFDG, with participation from Menlo Ventures and Anthropic's Anthology Fund. Already used by professionals at hundreds of companies including Google, Uber, DoorDash, Tesla, Salesforce, and Reddit, Composite rescues workers from the never-ending cycle of repetitive busywork that drains energy and morale. With Composite, they can finally reclaim their focus and channel their brainpower into work that feels meaningful.

While other browsers like OpenAI's ChatGPT Agent and Perplexity's Comet browser have generated headlines, they are most useful for generic consumer errands like "book a flight to Paris" rather than the grind of real work for professionals. Composite takes a different approach: it transforms your existing browser into an intelligent partner that understands your specific workflows and handles the tasks that are drowning you.

Composite also launches personalization features that watch your actual work habits, detect the rote tasks bogging you down, and complete them automatically. Its new Spotlight View eliminates the awkward sidebars that get in the way, letting you keep your full screen while Composite handles the busywork in the background. Additionally, the company releases its platform on Windows, expanding beyond its Mac-only beta to serve billions more professionals.

College-educated professionals spend 85% of their day trapped in digital hamster wheels: they're drowning in tabs, copying data line-by-line across clunky software stacks, and drafting the same memos again and again. Current "AI browsers" only add friction, forcing users to leave the setups they're accustomed to and delivering results isolated from the tools (e.g. email, Google Docs, Notion) they actually use for their work every day.

"Composite knows what's weighing you down and completes them on your behalf - on any website and in any browser," says Yang Fan Yun, Composite's co-founder and CEO, who was New Zealand's national valedictorian and achieved the highest GPA in Stanford's Computer Science department. "We're not trying to replace Chrome. We're making the browser you already use infinitely more powerful by predicting and automating your work before you even think to ask.

By putting an AI worker directly inside your browser, Composite:

• Predicts your next moves: Detects the specific tasks draining your time and automates them - instead of bothering you with irrelevant, generic prompts
• Works with any browser: Plugs into Chrome, Edge, Comet without the agony of migrating bookmarks, losing extensions, logging into everything again, or begging IT for approval
• Handles real work: Researches customers or candidates, moves data between tools, updates project statuses, drafts emails based on existing docs, and more
• Stays out of your way: Appears by hitting Cmd+Shift+Space (or Ctrl+Shift+Space for Windows) for a lightweight overlay, completes tasks, then disappears
• Runs completely local: Actions execute directly on your device, completing tasks faster and exactly as you would
