What is CloudCruise?
CloudCruise (YC W24, founded 2024 in San Francisco) is a developer platform for building browser automation agents via API. It converts plain-English prompts into scripts that log into websites, fill forms, extract data, and complete multi-step flows; the scripts run in VMs with anti-detection fingerprinting. The product has pivoted to healthcare, automating payer-portal and EHR workflows such as patient scheduling and revenue-cycle tasks. It includes a maintenance agent that repairs workflows when sites change, HIPAA-compliant infrastructure, and 30 days of video, screenshot, and log observability.
Our verdict
CloudCruise fits healthcare teams that need payer-portal or EHR automation with compliance and self-healing workflows built in, backed by a disclosed 5 million dollar seed round and a cited customer, Trapeze, which runs thousands of daily automated calls. It is a narrower fit outside healthcare, since the core product is closed-source and the company has moved away from general-purpose browser automation.

Agentic automation tools give an LLM control of a browser to navigate, click, and fill forms toward a goal, rather than following a fixed script. They are newer and less predictable than selector-based scraping, but they handle sites and workflows that are hard to hardcode.
