Tightrope turns any UI into an API.
Join our team in SF to help define the next generation of integration infrastructure - for AI that needs to operate in the real world.
We're hiring
Tightrope is building integrations infrastructure for the next generation of AI-native companies.
We spent months talking to companies across healthcare, logistics, insurance, and finance. Different verticals, same wall: critical data locked in systems that will never have APIs.
Browser agents changed what's possible. We're building the infrastructure to turn any legacy UI into an API.
Our founding team has 10+ years of integrations and auth experience - Tara as head of integration platform at Merge API, Alex as a founding engineer & EM at Stytch.
Integrations remain one of the biggest blockers to AI adoption. If AI can't connect to the tools humans use every day, it can't do real work.
For decades, integrating with software meant waiting for APIs. Most systems never built them - but they all have UIs.
We think the browser is one of the most exciting unlocks for AI. Imagine telling an agent what you need and watching it navigate a system for you - no more clicking through portals, filling out forms, pulling reports manually.
Making this real means solving for the complexity that shows up in the real world: auth, edge cases, error handling, variability across systems. That's what we're building at Tightrope.
