Kaizen

The purpose of software is fundamentally changing, from platforms that track your work, to agents that complete work on your behalf. We’re building Kaizen, the platform for building software that does work on the web.

Hey y’all! We’re Ken & Michael — the founders of Kaizen!

📚 TL;DR

With Kaizen, developers can integrate with any web application in minutes, instead of weeks. Leading AI companies use Kaizen to read and write from legacy portals in logistics, healthcare, and financial services.

🔗 The Integration Problem

In most industries, the biggest bottleneck to automation is integration. In these sectors, operators will interface with hundreds of web applications: between systems of records, customer portals, and proprietary internal software. Building integrations across all these systems was previously impossible, leaving much of the economy mired in repetitive, manual workflows.

For software vendors in these industries, this pain is most acute. Long integration times stall customer onboarding, halt product velocity, and strictly bound the value they can provide to customers. Startups are forced to choose between severe limits to feature capabilities and staffing large internal “integration” teams.

As AI agents rapidly scale, this problem only gets worse. Tools like voice agents, AI scribes, or procurement copilots are ready to work on behalf of users but are stopped in their tracks by authenticated websites without UIs.

🥁Introducing: Kaizen

💻 How does it work?
Within Kaizen, developers construct a set of “blocks” describing your automation. We leverage computer use models to create deterministic automations for any website.

Kaizen exposes a powerful API, developers can use to programmatically trigger automations. With Kaizen, your application can automatically complete forms, retrieve critical business data, and execute end-to-end processes on behalf of your users.

🕵️ Who’s it for?
Kaizen helps engineering teams in traditional industries (logistics, financial services, healthcare, insurance) accelerate their integration roadmap. Use cases we enable include:

• Logistics agents that automatically bid across hundreds of shipper boards.
• RCM automation software that dynamically completes forms for hundreds of payer portals.
• Tech-enabled lenders that leverage data from thousands of municipal, county, and state government websites.
• and many, many, more…

🤔 Why Kaizen?

2025 will be the year of browser agents, and Kaizen is the best platform for you to launch your own.

• Reliable, fast workflows: Customers come to us after trying computer use agents that can’t reliably log in to a legacy portal. Kaizen caches each action it takes to ensure workflows run fast and reliably.
• We handle the plumbing: Kaizen automatically handles browser session management, 2FA authentication, and anti-bot measures. To launch your first workflow, you simply need to describe it in English.
• For developers, by developers: Most solutions in this space are rigid and brittle, making it hard for developers to fully own their automations. Kaizen is API-first and supports arbitrary code snippets, giving product builders maximum flexibility.

👥 The Team

We met six years ago at MIT, hacking on zero-knowledge proofs and image generation algorithms. Since then, Ken’s led automation teams in the freight industry, building LLM-powered browser workflows across a maze of portals. Michael spent six years at MIT CSAIL researching web-scale information retrieval, then developed deep infrastructure expertise at Meta and Gather.

We’ve lived through the pain of manually stitching together web automations—and we’re building Kaizen to ensure no engineering team experiences that again.

🙏🏼 Our Ask

We’re looking to onboard more engineering teams across financial services, healthcare, and logistics and would really appreciate your help. If you or someone you know is struggling to automate work on websites without APIs, send them to kaizenautomation.com.
