The call

MultiOn's founder moved on to a new entity, AGI Inc., while the original company sits at single-digit headcount with no revenue as frontier labs give away its core feature for free.

MultiOn builds software that lets AI systems control web browsers and computers on their own, but the major AI companies like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic have already built this same feature directly into their own products for free. The company has shrunk to a tiny team with no money coming in, and its founder left to start a separate company, which suggests MultiOn itself may be winding down. The only thing that could change this would be if MultiOn's new entity manages to build a special partnership with Qualcomm to put this technology on phones or devices that no one else can access, but that seems unlikely given how quickly the big AI labs are moving.

Why
01
AI pressure: OpenAI Atlas, Google Gemini Agent, Anthropic Claude Computer Use. OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic now ship the same browsing-agent feature free inside products people already use, for free. Could AI do the core job? Yes, likely.
02
Bigger players: OpenAI, Google, ByteDance. OpenAI killed its own Operator once ChatGPT Agent absorbed it, and ByteDance shipped Seed 2.1 computer-use, showing labs eat their own tools fast, let alone rivals'. Could a giant copy it? Yes, easily.
03
What protects it. None apparent: no revenue, no customer logos, and headcount down to single digits.
What would change this call
Whether AGI, Inc. announces a shipped Qualcomm Snapdragon on-device product with named OEM device commitments. Would show the claimed hardware-distribution moat is real rather than marketing.
Whether MultiOn or AGI, Inc. discloses verified paying customers, ARR, or retention figures. Would show the company has any commercial traction beyond unverified beta claims.
Whether the MultiOn entity formally dissolves, merges into AGI, Inc., or headcount changes are reported. Would clarify whether the original company still operates or has effectively ended.

Questions people ask
Is MultiOn still operating in 2026?
MultiOn's brand largely folded into a successor entity, AGI, Inc., after founder Div Garg stepped back from day-to-day leadership on December 21, 2024. The multion.ai domain now redirects to theagi.company, and as of June 2026 headcount is reported as single-digit.
Did MultiOn ever make money?
No verified revenue, customer logos, or ARR figures have been disclosed for MultiOn as of June 2026. Its only public traction claims are self-reported: 10,000+ beta users and a 400% month-over-month signup spike, stated by the company in a February 2024 interview and not independently verified.
Could AI replace MultiOn's product?
MultiOn's core offering, an AI agent that browses the web autonomously, has largely been replicated for free by frontier labs: Anthropic shipped Claude Computer Use in October 2024, OpenAI shipped Operator in January 2025 and the Atlas browser in October 2025, and Google added Gemini Auto Browse to Chrome in January 2026.
Who founded MultiOn and are they still involved?
MultiOn was founded in 2022 by Div Garg, a Stanford AI PhD, and Omar Shaya, a Stanford MBA. Garg announced on December 21, 2024 that he was stepping back from day-to-day leadership to remain an advisor while founding a related entity, AGI, Inc.
How much funding has MultiOn raised?
MultiOn's seed round in 2023 was led by General Catalyst with Amazon's Alexa Fund, Samsung Next, and Maven Ventures. A follow-on raise of roughly $20 million at about a $100 million valuation was announced around January 2024, led by General Catalyst. No further MultiOn-branded round has been disclosed since.
Who is MultiOn's biggest competitor?
MultiOn's biggest competitive threat is the frontier AI labs themselves: OpenAI (Operator, ChatGPT Agent, Atlas browser), Google (Gemini Auto Browse, formerly Project Mariner), and Anthropic (Claude Computer Use), all of which have shipped native browser-agent capability directly into their own mainstream products since October 2024.
