Company facts

Investment & ownership

Over $350M raised. In 2024 Amazon hired Adept’s co-founders and licensed its technology in one of the defining acqui-hire deals of the agent era.

Why it matters for the agentic web

Adept builds agents that use software the way people do, screen and cursor, no API required. That approach makes every legacy application on earth agent-operable without waiting for its vendor to modernize.
