What the company built
Induced AI's platform takes an instruction written in ordinary English and turns it into code that runs immediately. The execution happens inside a modified Chrome browser, which reads and interacts with web interfaces the way a human operator would: finding the field, filling it, pressing the button.
That design choice is the point of the company. Conventional enterprise automation connects to software through an API, a formal interface that a system's owner has to provide. Where no API exists, the automation stops. Induced AI's approach works on the page itself, so a site that was never built to be automated can still be driven, and the reporting notes it can handle complicated steps including two-factor authentication.
The round, and who backed it
The $2.3 million seed round was announced on 4 October 2023. YourStory named two backers: Sam Altman, the OpenAI co-founder, and the venture firm Peak XV.
A seed round is the first institutional money a startup takes, and it is priced almost entirely on the founders rather than on results, because there are rarely results yet. That is what makes the investor list the substance of the story. Two teenagers with no prior company to point to raised capital from one of the most visible figures in artificial intelligence, in the year when every investor in the world was being pitched an AI product.
Why browser automation is worth money
Large organisations run on software that does not talk to other software. Staff spend hours moving data between systems by hand because the systems were bought at different times from different vendors, and rebuilding them is more expensive than paying people to bridge the gap.
An automation layer that operates at the level of the screen rather than the database is aimed directly at that gap. It requires no cooperation from the vendor and no integration project. The difficulty is reliability: a page layout changes, a button moves, and automation that reads the interface visually can break where an API-based integration would not. Induced AI was selling into small and medium-sized companies at the time of the round.
What is known about Aryan Sharma
Very little, and this page will not invent more. YourStory identifies him as an 18-year-old Indian co-founder of Induced AI, described with his partner as a young technology enthusiast. No city is named in that article, no school or university is mentioned, and no prior company is attributed to him.
The article carries no direct quotation from either founder. What is documented is the company, the product, the round and the two ages. Everything else, including his exact date of birth, is absent from the record used here.

The sources used for this page stop in October 2023, with the funding announced and the stated intention of speeding up development of the automation product. Nothing here records the company's later revenue, headcount, further funding or status.
One practical note for anyone searching: Aryan Sharma is a common name in India, and results will mix several unrelated people. The reliable query is the company. Induced AI, October 2023, $2.3 million, Sam Altman and Peak XV, is the set of facts that identifies this particular eighteen-year-old.
