Polar

About

Based in San Franscisco, US, founded in 2026, by its co-founders Kevin Jiang (CEO), Vishaal Ram and Howard Zhong, Polar is a Recursive Intelligence, evolving from the company's earlier product, Composer. Built by former Perplexity contributors, it was created to automate knowledge work directly inside a browser. In July 2026, Polar raised USD 5.7 million in seed funding led by investor Madrona Venture Group. Polar offers an advanced AI browser designed to automate various online tasks, enhancing productivity in research, sales, operations, and other business activities. The core functionality of Polar enables users to dictate tasks in natural language, which the browser then executes using existing tools and websites. This product is beneficial for professionals such as founders, investors, and operators who need to distill information from messy public sources quickly and efficiently. Key use cases include automating daily email summaries, conducting market research, competitor analysis, and executing LinkedIn outreach—all tasks that can be scheduled or performed on-demand. Polar primarily serves clients in North America, Europe, and Asia, providing a versatile solution for organizations that rely heavily on online data and workflows. Polar's revenue model is structured around subscription-based access to its AI browser, targeting businesses that seek to streamline their operations through automation. Clients subscribe to different tiers of service, which can include various features such as automated task scheduling, advanced research capabilities, and integrations with existing tools. The pricing strategy encompasses multiple plans that cater to different business sizes and requirements, ensuring scalability for both small startups and large enterprises. Transactions typically involve recurring billing cycles, and users benefit from the efficiency gains provided by Polar’s technology, ultimately allowing them to reallocate time and resources to more critical business functions. The company will use the July 2026 funding to further develop its AI-powered browser and expand automation capabilities for knowledge-work tasks across the web.
