Pomerado wants agents to stop clicking through websites and call an API instead

Akshay Manglik and Alan Ma are building Pomerado, a startup that mints deterministic APIs from legacy portals and consumer websites so AI agents can call an API instead of clicking through pages, with an open-source core and hosted cloud offering. In their Y Combinator launch post, the co-founders said they were forward-deployed with Fortune 500 companies in finance, healthcare and software, including organizations like the Mayo Clinic, and that integrations with legacy systems became a major bottleneck for agent builds. Pomerado's pitch targets the reasoning cost and fragility browser agents incur on every run, aiming to give agent teams a cheaper path into industry portals without waiting for vendors to ship APIs.
