Overview
Notte builds cloud browser infrastructure and a web agent framework for AI and coding agents that need to navigate, extract data from and act on websites. Its perception layer turns web pages into a text action space for LLMs, and the platform combines hosted sessions with live view, residential proxies, CAPTCHA solving, authenticated profiles with MFA, in-browser payments, serverless functions and hybrid deterministic and agentic workflows. Founded in 2025 in Zurich by EPFL alumni Andrea Pinto and Lucas Giordano and now based in San Francisco, Notte joined YC S25 and raised a $2.5 million pre-seed led by Kima Ventures.
