Polar Raised $5.7M Seed for an AI Browser That Runs Multi-Hour Tasks Logged In as You, 4.5M Actions in Seven Months
Polar, founded by Kevin Jiang (who worked on Perplexity's Comet) with Vishaal Ram and Howard Zhong, announced a $5.7M seed led by Madrona on July 29, with angels including former GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke and Modal founder Erik Bernhardsson. The architecture is the interesting part: rather than integrating per-app, Polar clicks and types through the sites the user is already authenticated into, running multi-step tasks from minutes to hours across sales, recruiting, marketing and research. Users have run more than 4.5 million actions in roughly seven months of word-of-mouth growth; it is free with daily AI task credits and $20/month for higher limits. Session-borrowing at the browser layer is a direct threat to point-solution SaaS whose moat is an integration rather than data.
