Airtop is a web automation platform that gives AI agents cloud-hosted browsers with authenticated sessions, CAPTCHA handling and a password vault, so agents can operate live websites and internal tools behind a login rather than only APIs. The company operates as Switchboard Visual Technologies, Inc. doing business as Airtop, and lists its business address at 3277 S. White Rd., San Jose, California. It is led by founder and CEO Amir Ashkenazi, a six-time founder, and co-founder and CTO Daniel Shteremberg; Airtop began in 2024, when the team shut down its earlier collaboration product, Switchboard.app, and pivoted to web automation.
The platform has three parts: Web Automation, which supplies the cloud browser sessions; Agent Builder, which compiles a plain-English description of a workflow into code that executes the same way on every run instead of prompting a model at each step; and Mark, a packaged go-to-market agent that plans and runs marketing workflows and gained a native Google Ads connection in July 2026. Airtop connects to n8n, Zapier, Make, Claude Code and Codex, and is used for lead enrichment, competitor monitoring and back-office reconciliation. Cared.io, an Australian allied health provider serving NDIS participants, uses an Airtop agent to push payment status from Xero back into Cliniko, a step the two products' APIs do not cover. Airtop states that it holds SOC 2 Type II certification and is HIPAA compliant, and that customer data is not used for AI training.
The company lists 16 people on its team page, consistent with the 11-50 employee range on its LinkedIn profile, and says it is venture-backed, though it does not name its investors or disclose amounts raised publicly. Self-serve pricing starts with a free tier and runs through Starter at $29 per month, Professional at $189 per month and Enterprise at $558 per month, each metered in credits, with custom volume plans above that.

Who Airtop competes with, and how they differ.
Browserbase sells the same primitive, managed cloud Chrome sessions for AI agents with an Identity layer that handles logins, CAPTCHAs and MFA, but ships it as developer infrastructure metered on browser time plus the open-source Stagehand framework for natural-language actions. Airtop layers a hosted Agent Builder that compiles plain-English workflows into scheduled, reusable code, a password vault, and a packaged GTM agent (Mark) on top of that session layer.
Bright Data's Scraping Browser is cloud Chrome driven over CDP with rotating residential proxies and built-in CAPTCHA solving, Playwright and Puppeteer compatible like Airtop, but it is priced per GB of traffic on top of a 400M+ IP proxy network and sold for large-scale data collection alongside pre-built datasets and scrapers. Airtop meters session credits and targets authenticated agent workflows behind logins and legacy portals rather than bulk extraction.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedAxiom is the closest catalog match on the plain-English-to-reusable-bot workflow, but it also runs automations locally through a no-code Chrome extension Builder rather than only in the cloud. Axiom's authentication relies on stored cookies and its CAPTCHA solving requires a third-party 2Captcha key, where Airtop is cloud-only with proxies, CAPTCHA solving and a password vault built in.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedBrowse AI trains scraper robots by point-and-click and sells scheduled extraction and change monitoring priced by rows of data, aimed at non-developers. Airtop exposes programmable cloud browser sessions and an agent runtime over REST and GraphQL, so the two compete for the same authenticated-site jobs, but Airtop sells the infrastructure rather than a finished scraper.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedBardeen automates GTM prospecting end to end, agentic web scraping plus AI lead qualification and contact enrichment, from a Chrome extension, so it competes with Airtop's packaged marketing agent Mark rather than with its browser infrastructure. Bardeen sells the finished sales workflow; Airtop sells the cloud browser sessions and Agent Builder that such a workflow runs on.
