Structure-First Runtime for Reliable Browser Agents

Predicate turns the rendered web into semantic snapshots and verification signals, so agents act with bounded retries, lower token usage, and deterministic outcomes.

Token-Efficient

Structure-first snapshots reduce prompt load

Verification-First

Assertions gate success deterministically

Runtime Guarantees

Snapshot → action → assertion loop

The Mission

The web was built for people, not agents. Predicate builds the runtime that converts rendered UI into structured snapshots, then verifies every step with explicit assertions so automation is predictable and testable.

Our Story

Early agent stacks treated the web like pixels. That works for demos, but it breaks under scale: high token costs, ambiguous actions, and retries with no proof of success.

We found that reliability comes from structure and verification, not more images. So we rebuilt the stack around the rendered DOM, coarse pruning, and semantic snapshots that can be asserted against.

The result is a runtime that makes agent steps measurable: each action is followed by a snapshot and assertions that deterministically gate success or failure.

Who We Are

Predicate is an engineering-first company focused on agent runtime infrastructure. Our team blends distributed systems, browser internals, and applied ML to make automation predictable and debuggable.

We build core runtime components instead of wrappers. The goal is simple: make browser agents verifiable, token-efficient, and reliable in production.

Engineering-First Culture

Built by engineers who have shipped production automation. We focus on determinism, traceability, and runtime guarantees so systems are testable, not just functional.

Distributed Systems

Reliable pipelines for snapshot generation and trace delivery

Browser Internals

Rendered DOM, layout stability, and actionability analysis

Production-Grade Engineering

We build with production constraints in mind: observability, predictable latency, and clear failure modes.

Verification & Tracing

Step-level assertions and traces that explain outcomes

What We Believe

Structure Beats Pixels

Reliable agents depend on structured snapshots, not raw images. The runtime should expose the right elements and prove outcomes with assertions.

Verification Over Retries

When a step fails, we want a clear signal and evidence—not blind retries. Deterministic verification makes automation trustworthy.

Runtime Guarantees Matter

Agents should have a consistent loop: snapshot → action → assertion. This makes behavior measurable, debuggable, and safe to ship.

Built for Developers Shipping Agents

Teams use Predicate to make browser automation verifiable and stable. The focus is on traces, assertions, and lower token budgets—so failures are explainable.

How It Works

A structure-first pipeline that turns the rendered DOM into verifiable agent steps

1

Rendered DOM + Coarse Pruning

We render the page and remove obvious noise early. This keeps snapshots compact and token-efficient while preserving actionability.

2

Gateway Refinement

The gateway refines candidate elements, assigns salience, and produces a semantic snapshot suitable for reasoning and assertions.

3

Snapshot → Action → Assertion Loop

Each step is executed against the snapshot and then verified with explicit assertions. Success is gated; failures are traceable.

Why We're Different

Verification-First Reliability

We favor explicit assertions and trace evidence over retries. This makes agent behavior observable and testable.

Token-Efficient by Design

Coarse pruning and semantic snapshots reduce prompt size without losing critical state.

Developer-First APIs

Clean responses, clear traces, and deterministic behaviors make debugging straightforward.

Built for Agent Runtimes

Predicate turns UI state into structured snapshots and verification signals that agents can trust.
