Polar, the AI Browser That Does Real Work, Raises $5.7M
The seed round, led by Madrona, backs the top-performing AI browser, capable of running long, multi-step web tasks end to end
Polar, the AI browser that automates the tedious parts of knowledge work, today announced it has raised $5.7 million in seed funding led by Madrona, with participation from angel investors including former GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke and Modal founder Erik Bernhardsson.
Polar operates the web the way a person does, clicking, typing, and navigating the sites its users already work in, logged in as them. Where the first wave of AI browsers stopped at answering questions and summarizing tabs, Polar takes on long, multi-step tasks and runs them start to finish, from a few minutes to several hours. It has completed tasks for over fifteen hours without intervention.
The product has grown almost entirely by word of mouth over its first seven months, and users have run more than 4.5 million actions through it across research, recruiting, sales, operations, marketing, and more. Polar significantly outperforms OpenAI and Anthropic on browser-agent benchmarks.
