Kernel

Kernel is a developer platform that provides Crazy Fast Browser Infrastructure for AI agents to use the internet. Put simply, it is about publishing, securing and monitoring APIs.

It makes the most sense for platform and developer teams. They also list Artificial Intelligence (AI), Developer APIs and Developer Platform, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Kernel is based in San Francisco, California and around since 2025. You can read more at onkernel.com.
