Reduck has raised $3 million in a pre-seed funding round to support its AI automation platform. The company provides a library designed to help AI agents navigate websites more efficiently.
Why it matters
Many business tools lack direct interfaces for AI agents, creating a barrier to automated tasks. Reduck aims to bridge this gap by offering ready-to-run scripts for hundreds of websites.
The Reduck MCP platform includes more than 1,200 ready-to-run automation scripts that cover over 250 websites. By utilizing these scripts instead of manual step-by-step navigation, AI agents can achieve a 3-fold increase in speed and efficiency.
