The Web Outgrew the Browser

AI summary by TinyFish

The web has evolved from a simple, searchable index to a complex, ever-changing labyrinth where data hides behind logins, scripts, and personalization. Consumer-grade browser tools can’t keep pace with this scale or complexity.

TinyFish is tackling this with Enterprise Web Agents—AI systems built to run large, secure, end-to-end workflows across thousands of sites. These agents are outcome-driven, resilient to changing web structures, and meet enterprise demands for observability, governance, and Fortune-500-level security.

Already in use by companies like Google and DoorDash, TinyFish agents perform millions of operations monthly. To expand, TinyFish raised $47 million in Series A funding led by ICONIQ and other major investors.

The vision: turn the web’s complexity into opportunity, letting technology fade into the background so people can focus on meaningful work.

First, a handful of static pages. Then millions of sites, searchable through Yahoo and Google. Soon came e-commerce and social platforms, turning the web into the beating heart of daily life. Finally, the enterprise shifted online: Salesforce, Workday, AWS, Shopify, entire industries running on the web.

For a while, the web felt knowable. It was an index, a library, a map you could trace with your finger. But today it’s something else entirely. Information hides behind logins. Content shifts with scripts and personalization. Prices change by the minute. The web has become a labyrinth, ungraspable at human scale.

Enterprises live in that labyrinth. Creating new opportunities and revenue depends on thousands of workflows running across thousands of sites, with billions of changes every day. No human analyst can keep up. Consumer tools, the one-browser-at-a-time agents built for individuals, were never designed to shoulder this weight.

This is why we’re building something new: Enterprise Web Agents.

These are purpose-built AI infrastructure systems that execute end-to-end workflows on the modern web. They’re judged not by novelty but by outcomes: revenue lifted, risks averted, opportunities captured.

They map workflows to measurable business results with enterprise-grade SLAs. They provide the observability and control that enterprises demand: comprehensive logs and governance frameworks. They operate with the security posture and planetary scale of Fortune 500 requirements, from one to thousands of agents every minute. And they adapt as the web shifts beneath them, resilient to logins, scripts, anti-bot measures, and changing layouts.

At TinyFish, these agents are already in production with Google, DoorDash, ClassPass, and others, hundreds of thousands of agents running millions of operations each month.

The distinction is clear: enterprise-grade agents are fundamentally different from consumer browser agents.

The agents that will define the web’s next era are those built to survive and thrive at enterprise scale, delivering real business outcomes in production environments.

Building agents that truly operate at this scale while creating measurable business impact is immensely challenging. Today, we’re proud to share that TinyFish has raised $47M in Series A funding led by ICONIQ, with participation from USVP, Mango Capital, MongoDB Ventures, and Sandberg Bernthal Venture Partners. Our investors share our conviction that the web’s future lies in transforming its complexity from obstacle into opportunity.

Technology, at its best, doesn’t demand your attention. It fades into the background, clearing the way for human work to matter.

That is our belief at TinyFish.

Focus on what moves you. For everything else, there’s TinyFish.
