Nimble Named One of Microsoft Build’s 2025 Top 12 AI Startups

Microsoft just revealed the 12 startups hand‑picked for its Top AI Startups 2025 cohort at Microsoft Build—and Nimble is on the list! 🎉

You can read the full announcement on Microsoft’s LinkedIn post here. Being selected puts us alongside innovators such as Faros AI, Qodo, Howso, BRIA AI, and Galileo—solutions that are reshaping everything from SDLC automation to multimodal intelligence.

Here’s Why This Matters for Web‑Scale Retrieval

For us, this recognition highlights a simple truth: AI can’t reach its full potential without deep, up‑to‑the‑minute context from the open web.

Below, we break down why Microsoft chose Nimble, how our agentic pipelines go far beyond traditional search, and where you can see live demos at Build 2025.

The Problem: Fast Search ≠ Full Context

Search APIs (Bing, Google, Exa, etc.) are brilliant for returning a handful of documents in sub‑second latency, but they deliberately avoid anything that slows them down. They fall short with:

• No interactive sessions (log‑ins, filters, pagination).
• No JavaScript rendering at scale.
• No table extraction or SQL‑ready output.

That’s fine for quick fact checks. But it’s fatal if you need to monitor 120,000 SKUs across four e-commerce marketplaces and 42,000 ZIP codes, or track real‑time pricing and promotion shifts for 1300 CPG products sold by 150 retailers. LLMs end up “hallucinating” because they only see a slice of the evidence, never the full picture.

Nimble’s Answer: Agentic Web Pipelines

Nimble spins up tens of thousands of headless‑browser agents that behave like tireless interns working to extract accurate, relevant data. They:

1. Interact: Log in, click filters, paginate, fill forms.
2. Extract & Normalize: Capture hundreds of data points per page.
3. Structure: Auto‑map into live SQL tables with lineage.
4. Serve: Stream data to Azure Synapse, Snowflake, Databricks, or straight into your RAG pipeline.

Example

120 000 SKUs × 4 marketplaces × 42 000 ZIPs once took 76 days and > $18 k in cloud costs. Nimble finishes the job in 4 hours for < $1 k—and refreshes hourly.

That’s why Microsoft’s AI team calls Nimble:

"The startup that bakes real-time web data into your AI."
