Introducing Bardeen, the first Business-Ready AI agent

Product Launch

Published on

September 5, 2026

Today, we're excited to announce a $3M strategic investment from Dropbox and Hubspot, and a brand new way to automate repetitive work with Bardeen.

It's the next evolution of workflow automation built for the gen-AI age: a powerful and easily instructable agent trusted by over 300,000 users and companies like Deel, Miro, 10Web, and Kearney.

We need better automation tools

Draining, repetitive, and soul-sucking tasks fill everyone's workday.

It's a problem many companies before us have tried to solve.

First with RPA platforms that require teams of developers to operate. Then low-code tools, which were easier to use but limited in functionality and still required technical knowledge to operate.

With the emergence of AI agents, the promise is a tool that is both flexible, reliable and simple to use. But so far, they have failed to deliver - hallucinating misleading airfares and glue on pizza.

Today's AI agents are too brittle, unreliable, and just simply fail.

At Bardeen, we've worked tirelessly over the past two years to solve this problem and build a better AI agent that's ready for businesses.

What makes a business-ready AI agent?

To start, you need lots of businesses using your product. Since the beginning of the year we've onboarded thousands of companies and significantly improved the product from their feedback.

You can read more here about why industry leaders and innovators alike trust us with their critical workflows, but here's a summary of what makes Bardeen unique:

The agent with a plan

Most agent products fail when tasks have more than a few steps. Why? They make it up as they go—in other words, they don't have a plan.

Bardeen is taking a different approach.

After receiving your instruction, Bardeen will present its plan for your approval. You can accept or modify this plan using a simple interface - language.

Instruct

Plan

Action

Results

This means there's no ambiguity or uncertainty in the outcome.

With this approach, our Agent can handle more complex tasks with ease. You can trust multi-step complex workflows are executed reliably, the same way every time.

Bardeen is more accurate and even provides flexibility to modify the instructions while it shows you its plan.

Effortless to use

Bardeen lives in your browser, always one click away. It uses this context to be incredibly accurate when understanding your instructions. Here's a few examples of tasks it performs with just a simple prompt:

• Save speakers from the page to Sheets
• Determine if company list is SOC 2 compliant
• Forward emails with invoices to bob@accountant.com

Bardeen has some of the best natural language understanding around, but we believe the future is in your tools learning from your actions directly.

With Bardeen, you can hit record, show your task once, and teach the agent how to perform your task at the click of a button. Over time, Bardeen will automatically suggest ways to save you time and build the automations to do it.

Here's a comparison of Bardeen versus a traditional low-code automation platform. The task is simple, but an annoyingly repetitive task. Getting a list of conference speakers from a webpage.

There's a few key differences to note:

• Setup is faster. We've built Bardeen from the ground up to understand language instruction. As a result, it's more accurate at understanding your instructions.
• Context aware: As a browser extension, Bardeen is aware of the apps and websites you use. It won't force you to sign up for products you don't use already.
• Works where you work: Bardeen lives in your browser, that means you can watch it perform actions in real-time. Paired with its planning capabilities, working with Bardeen is a much better experience.

Checks your business requirements

Ever had a tool you were excited to use, but was vetoed by IT? Bardeen will breeze through your company’s technical, security, and compliance reviews.

The AI industry is new and still maturing, so it’s important to note the details.

• Secure: SOC 2 Type 2 compliant
• Reliable: Runs cloud infrastructure that can handle thousands of concurrent workflows
• Scalable: Collaboration, sharing, and centralized billing and user management

Oh, and we even have 5 stars on G2 and a library of case studies with industry leaders.

The results speak for themselves

We've seen first-hand the actual results and benefits deploying Bardeen with customers.

Deel, the fastest-growing SaaS company in history, uses Bardeen to save hundreds of hours for its BDR sales team. Bardeen automates everything from identifying and researching to reaching out with one simple click.

After working with thousands of customers to save millions of hours, we've realized the most impact comes from:

• Creating 10x teammates: With Magic Box and Automation Assistant, anyone can automate their own workflows.
• Eliminating hours of busywork: Repetitive, mundane tasks can drain productivity from even the best teams. Bardeen frees time so people can focus on high impact work that matters.
• Sharing best practices instantly: Implement consistent, streamlined standard operating procedures across your team or organization, reducing errors and saving time.

The best part is these results are immediate, requiring minimal upfront investment in tooling or training.

Defining the future of work

Since day one, our goal has been to liberate people from monotonous labor.

There's no shortage of this in the workplace, which is why Bardeen's Business-Ready agent is critical to achieving our vision and we're just getting started!
