Reduck has raised $3 million in pre-seed funding to expand its browser automation platform. The company currently offers a library of over 1,200 ready-to-run scripts for AI agents to navigate web-based business tools.
Why it matters
Many business platforms lack native APIs or Model Context Protocol support for direct AI integration. Reduck bridges this gap by providing pre-built scripts that allow agents to execute complex web tasks without manual navigation.
The Reduck MCP platform uses a library of 1,200 pre-configured automation scripts covering 250 websites to increase AI agent speed and efficiency by 3 times. These scripts allow agents to bypass traditional, step-by-step browser navigation workflows.
The players
Reduck
A startup building a browser automation library for AI agents to interact with web interfaces.
Daphni
A venture capital firm that led the $3 million pre-seed funding round for Reduck.
Daniel Huynh
The CEO of Reduck who is overseeing the firm's expansion of its automation script library.
Louis Abraham
The CTO of Reduck focused on the architecture of the Reduck MCP platform.
Raphaël Millet
The COO of Reduck managing the operational scaling of the startup's agent-based tools.
The details
Reduck MCP operates as an interface between AI agents and web-based applications that lack standard application programming interfaces (APIs). By using predefined scripts, the platform allows agents to execute tasks such as data entry or site navigation directly rather than relying on iterative prompts. This research-stage automation method serves as an alternative to building custom scrapers or workflows for every individual web tool.

The Tech Race
Reduck is positioning its proprietary script library as a workaround for the limited adoption of the Model Context Protocol among legacy business tools. This creates a parallel to the broader industry effort to standardize agent-web communication.
Developers and AI researchers can expect future access to new tools as Reduck expands its script library. The startup plans to introduce a dedicated developer offering, though specific availability and pricing details remain unannounced.
The takeaway
Reduck represents a move toward automating interactions with legacy web tools through pre-scripted agent behaviors. Readers should monitor the company's progress on its upcoming developer platform, which could determine if this script-heavy approach becomes a standard integration model.
