Phaze raises $8.75M for AI agent workstation access

Phaze Inc., founded by the creators of Parsec Technologies, has raised $8.75 million in seed funding led by Andreessen Horowitz to build a remote desktop platform for both humans and AI agents. The platform transforms expensive enterprise workstations into shared, elastic compute pools accessible via low-latency streaming technology. It addresses two problems: AI agents hijacking employee screens during task automation, and costly workstations sitting idle when assigned workers are unavailable. A built-in Model Context Protocol server lets agents log into and operate workstations as a human would. Phaze plans to use the funds to expand its engineering team and accelerate customer onboarding.
