Founded by David Mlcoch & Joe Hewett
Both AI engineers who had to solve the same problem independently. Joe built AI systems that stopped $100M+ in fraud annually. David developed fraud investigation agents for fintechs.
After years of building mission-critical automation, they learned that automation only works with intelligent guardrails, human oversight, and continuous learning.
They first built Asteroid as a developer tool for safe AI deployment—offering guardrails, human-in-the-loop workflows, and continuous evaluations. But they quickly realized:
**Browser agents need these safeguards even more.**
✅ Guardrails – "Don’t click on this."
✅ Human oversight – "Ping me before you submit."
✅ Continuous learning – "The website changed—adapt."
Instead of just developer tools, they have shifted to building browser agents with safety and reliability baked in!
Traditional automation tools like RPA are too expensive for non-enterprise customers, costing $10,000 per automation. Meanwhile, startups and SMEs lack the resources to maintain Selenium or Playwright scripts at scale, as these frequently break due to UI changes.
Browser agents bridge this gap—offering the flexibility of scripting with the reliability of RPA. With 2025’s computing models, web automation is now 100x cheaper and more robust, unlocking thousands of new use cases.
This makes automation accessible not just to enterprises but also to SMEs and startups, particularly those that need to connect their AI agents to legacy portals.
Asteroid transforms any browser task into an agentic workflow. Simply show Asteroid what to do—via a screen recording, SOP, or written instructions—and get an agentic workflow. You can then call it through their web UI or API.
Behind the scenes, Asteroid spins up a secure, headless browser, handles authentication, executes workflows, and seamlessly integrates human review when needed—all without burdening your developers. They ensure the agent improves over time.
🔗 Watch Asteroid in action
🔹 API-First Automation – Trigger a browser agent in a web UI or with a single API call—no need for complex scripts or RPA setups.
🔹 Human-in-the-Loop – Automate only where it’s safe, with built-in escalation for manual review when needed.
🔹 Intelligent Guardrails – Set rules like “Never click this button” or “Ask before submitting” to prevent errors.
🔹 Continuous Learning – Asteroid evaluates every execution, adapting to website changes and improving over time using evaluations and backtesting.
They are working with customers to automate high-value workflows like:
🔹 Insurance Portal Automation – Retrieve broker quotes across insurer portals—without manual input.
🔹 Supply Chain Scheduling – Log into carrier platforms, retrieve GPS data, and schedule deliveries—seamlessly.
🔹 Expense Management – Pull PDF bills from utility portals for expense tracking—without APIs.
🔹Businesses with Heavy Manual Browser Workflows – Automate large-scale data entry, form submissions, and repetitive portal interactions.
🔹SMEs Using Legacy Systems – Streamline automation for industries like supply chain, insurance, and e-commerce.
🔹AI Agent Startups – Enable AI agents to reliably interact with legacy portals and automate browser tasks.
