Twin, operating as Twin Labs, is a French AI startup building what it calls an AI company builder: a platform where non-technical operators assemble AI agents that automate end-to-end operational workflows. Founded in 2023 in Paris by Hugo Mercier and Joao Justi, Twin's premise is that most real business work involves stitching together browsers, APIs, and scheduled jobs, and that an agent should be able to do all three from a single natural-language instruction.
The company's browser-use agent is the centerpiece, powering roughly 80% of customer workflows. Rather than depending on pre-built connectors for every SaaS tool, Twin agents can log in and operate web applications directly, which dramatically expands the surface area of tasks that can be automated. This is especially valuable for operations, finance, and support teams that work across long-tail internal portals and third-party tools without robust APIs.
Twin began with a pre-seed round in early 2024 backed by Betaworks, Factorial Funds, and Motier Ventures, then announced a larger seed led by LocalGlobe alongside a roster of operator-angels including founders and executives from Hugging Face, Datadog, Zama, and Alan. The European investor base reflects Twin's strong traction on the continent, though its no-code agent platform serves a global user base.
By the time of its public launch, Twin reported significant usage momentum: hundreds of thousands of agents deployed and on the order of a million workflows automated across tens of thousands of users. That adoption underscores demand for agents that combine browser automation, API calls, and scheduling in one place, rather than forcing teams to glue together separate tools.
Twin competes in a crowded field of agent-automation startups, but differentiates on its no-code authoring experience and the depth of its browser automation. Its positioning, building reusable AI workers that own recurring operational processes, places it squarely in the agentic automation wave that attracted heavy venture interest in 2025 and 2026.
