Skygen.AI Raises $7M for Autonomous AI Layer

- Skygen.AI's technology bypasses traditional API integrations by using computer vision to interact with software interfaces as a human would, enabling it to work with systems like CRMs and ERPs without pre-built connectors. - The company was founded by 19-year-old Mike Shperling, who has a background in global AI competitions. - One of the seed round investors is MLVentures, which previously invested in AI Factory and Looksery. - The platform is built on an architecture that uses a central orchestrator and specialized Gemini Flash sub-agents to manage long, complex tasks for hours without the context overflow that can affect large language models. - For security, each AI agent operates within a completely isolated virtual machine, ensuring user data is not used for model training, and a "Guardrails" layer requires user permission for critical actions. - The global AI agents market was valued at $8.03 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to $251.38 billion by 2034, with a compound annual growth rate of 46.61%. - The platform includes an "in-context learning" feature that adapts to a user's style and stores key information like contacts and workflow preferences to optimize future tasks. - Skygen.AI's system features a "Deep Research" mode for autonomous market analysis, which is designed to deliver higher accuracy than standard AI search tools.
