$3m · Pre-Seed · AI · Paris, France
Paris-based Reduck has raised $3m in pre-seed funding led by Daphni, with Drysdale Ventures and Galion.exe participating. The company is building browser infrastructure that lets AI agents use websites and business software even when those services lack APIs.
Reusable scripts turn browser work into tools
Browser agents usually navigate an interface step by step: reading a page, choosing an action, clicking and checking the next state. Reduck MCP instead lets an agent discover, create and run deterministic browser scripts as tools. The scripts execute through an extension in the user’s own Chrome session, allowing the agent to work where the user is already signed in without handing credentials to the agent.
The commercial mechanism is reuse. A workflow learned once can become a callable tool rather than a fresh sequence of model decisions on every run. That can reduce tool calls and model context, but it also makes script maintenance central to the product: websites change, authenticated flows break and business customers will judge the system by whether automations keep working.
Reduck says its official library now contains more than 1,200 ready-to-run scripts across over 250 websites. In its own benchmark across invoice collection, social-media research and retrieval tasks, the company reported that agents using Reduck finished about three times faster and more cheaply on average. Those are company-run tests on a small sample, so broader customer performance remains to be demonstrated.
The funding backs breadth and reliability
The company says the financing has helped grow its team to eight people. It plans to improve script reliability and coverage, prepare a developer offer for custom environments such as insurance and healthcare portals and internal CRMs, and build vertically integrated applications on top of its automation library, beginning with generative-engine optimisation.
Reduck was founded by Daniel Huynh, Louis Abraham and Raphaël Millet. Huynh and Millet previously co-founded Mithril Security, which was acquired by H Company, and launched the open-source web-agent project LaVague. Abraham previously worked on agent production at H Company after co-founding encrypted-collaboration startup Secrecy.
The execution test is whether Reduck can turn a growing catalogue of browser scripts into dependable infrastructure rather than a collection of brittle one-off automations. If it can maintain those scripts across changing interfaces and enterprise environments, the product can give agents access to the long tail of software that may never expose an agent-ready API.
