About Clicks
We are a seed stage startup backed by Y Combinator, Fly Ventures and 20VC, and have recently raised a $4M seed round.
Our mission is to fully automate office work and become the operational backbone of every company in the world.
We believe the key is giving AI agents the broadest possible action space: computer use.

This allows Clicks agents to perform any task or job that a human office worker can.
