Convergence (Proxy)
General computer agent from Convergence AI; acquired and sunset by Salesforce.
Acquired Convergence (Proxy)
Acquired · May 2025
Acquired by Salesforce barely a year after launch — announced 15 May 2025, completed 11 June 2025. Founders Marvin Purtorab and Andy Toulis took the team to Salesforce to seed a London AI lab and fold Convergence's adaptive-interface work into Agentforce. Proxy itself was not carried over: convergence.ai has served a bare 403 since August 2025, and the product's own domain, proxy.app, is now listed for sale.
Acquired by Salesforce.
Last known pricing: Freemium at the time of retirement. No longer sold.

Overview
Convergence (Proxy): General Computer Agent
Acquisition note (June 2025): Convergence was acquired by Salesforce — announced 15 May 2025, completed 11 June 2025 — and the Proxy product was retired rather than carried over. The founders and engineering team joined Salesforce, where their adaptive-interface agent work feeds Agentforce and anchors a new London AI lab. convergence.ai no longer serves a site, and proxy.app has been sold off and parked. There is no standalone Proxy to sign up for; the nearest live successor is Salesforce's Agentforce.
Convergence (Proxy) was a general-purpose web agent for multi-step tasks. Most agents specialise; Convergence's bet was that a genuinely general computer-using agent is possible. It launched as a direct competitor to OpenAI Operator and reached a reported 125,000+ users before the Salesforce deal.
Key Features
- General-purpose web agent for multi-step tasks
- Founded April 2024 by Marvin Purtorab and Andy Toulis, ML engineers who met at Shopify
- $12M seed led by Balderton Capital, with Salesforce Ventures and Shopify Ventures participating
- Large Meta Learning Model (LMLM) architecture with long-term memory across tasks
- Booked, researched and executed complex multi-site web flows
Ideal Use Case
Knowledge workers and consumers who wanted a general-purpose AI agent that could complete arbitrary multi-step web tasks — research, comparison shopping, scheduling, multi-site form filling. That use case now has to be served by another agent.
Why Convergence (Proxy) Mattered
It was one of the first credible independent answers to OpenAI Operator, and its adaptive-interface approach — agents that cope with pop-ups, errors and UI changes in real time — is exactly the capability Salesforce bought.
FAQ
Q: Who owns Convergence (Proxy) now? A: Salesforce. The acquisition was announced on 15 May 2025 and completed on 11 June 2025; terms were not disclosed, though the deal was reported in the $150–200M range.
Q: Can I still use Proxy? A: No. The product was retired after the acquisition. convergence.ai no longer serves a site and proxy.app has been sold and parked, so there is no sign-up path or API.
Q: What happened to the team? A: Co-founders Marvin Purtorab (CEO) and Andy Toulis (CTO) and their engineers joined Salesforce, where the technology feeds Agentforce and the group anchors a London AI R&D lab.
Q: What should I use instead? A: Salesforce's Agentforce is the direct successor to the technology. For a like-for-like general computer agent, look at the alternatives listed below.
Q: vs OpenAI Operator? A: Both were general computer agents. Convergence's wedge was independence and faster iteration than OpenAI's research preview — an advantage that ended with the acquisition.
tl;dr
General computer agent from a London startup. Founded April 2024 by two ex-Shopify ML engineers, raised a $12M Balderton-led seed, acquired by Salesforce in June 2025 and retired. The team builds Agentforce now.
