Composite, a company focused on eliminating repetitive digital tasks, has secured $5.6 million in seed funding. The funding round was led by Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross of NFDG, with additional support from Menlo Ventures and Anthropic’s Anthology Fund.
Used by professionals at companies like Google, Uber, DoorDash, Tesla, Salesforce, and Reddit, Composite is helping users escape the daily grind of browser-based busywork and reclaim their time for more meaningful tasks.
Unlike AI browsers that cater to simple consumer errands, Composite is built for professionals who spend most of their day navigating complex workflows. Instead of asking users to switch platforms or learn a new interface, Composite transforms the browser they already use—whether Chrome, Edge, or Comet—into an intelligent assistant that understands their routines and automates the tasks that slow them down. It observes how users work, identifies repetitive patterns, and automates those tasks. Its Spotlight View feature allows users to maintain a full-screen workspace while Composite quietly handles background tasks.
With its launch on Windows, Composite expands beyond its original Mac-only beta, making its platform accessible to a much larger audience. The company aims to address the reality that most college-educated professionals spend up to 85% of their day stuck in digital routines—copying data between tools, managing endless tabs, and drafting similar documents repeatedly. Many existing AI tools add friction by forcing users to leave their preferred environments or work in isolation from the tools they rely on, such as email, Google Docs, and Notion.
Composite predicts what users need before they ask, executes tasks directly on their device, and integrates seamlessly with their existing workflows. The AI worker inside the browser can research customers or candidates, move data between tools, update project statuses, and draft emails based on existing documents. It appears only when needed—activated by a simple keyboard shortcut—and disappears once the task is complete. Because it runs locally, actions are executed faster and with greater accuracy, mimicking how the user would perform them.
How the funding will be used: With this new funding, Composite is positioned to expand its reach and continue redefining how professionals interact with the digital world. By turning the browser into an intelligent partner, the company is helping users move beyond the digital hamster wheel and focus on work that truly matters.

“Composite knows what’s weighing you down and completes them on your behalf – on any website and in any browser. We’re not trying to replace Chrome. We’re making the browser you already use infinitely more powerful by predicting and automating your work before you even think to ask.
