About Simular

Building machine autonomy to unleash human potential.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably like us – a knowledge worker who spends well over 1,500 hours a year just clicking, typing and moving on the computer.

We're a research-driven company chasing one goal: full machine autonomy. Every product we ship moves us closer to a world where AI takes over digital labor, freeing people to develop and flourish.

Our journey

From a live demo to human-level agents.

Some of our milestones since our founding in August 2023.

    Simular is founded

    We set out to build accessible general intelligence and free people from digital labor.

    Our agent schedules a meeting live on stage

    In front of a packed room in San Francisco, Simular's agent called a business and booked a meeting — end to end, on its own.

Our approach

Build autonomous systems in real life and bring more freedom to people

01

Real life

Autonomy needs a closed feedback loop. Continual learning in real life is where actions produce consequences that feed back in.

Real life: closed feedback loop
02

Full-stack

Autonomy means optimally free. We build not only the user-facing agent interface, but also the virtual machine that the agent runs on to free humans from devices.

Neurosymbolic

Autonomy needs accountability. Our neurosymbolic framework combines the exploratory power of LLMs with the deterministic reliability of code, balancing capability and reliability.

Team

We’re a small group of scientists and engineers from DeepMind, Google, and top AI labs. We’ve worked on cutting-edge reinforcement learning systems, compiler design, and real-world robotics — and now we’re applying that experience to build agents that actually work.
