  "account": "Robutler has secured $400,000 in funding from ZAS Ventures, an American venture capital firm that invests in AI, SaaS, and robotics companies founded by Ukrainians. This marks the first institutional investment in Robutler. The company has developed a public platform featuring a shared library of professional-grade applications for various tasks, including documents, presentations, design, video, engineering, whiteboards, project management, music, and games. These apps come with real-time collaboration features and are all free to use. Robutler operates on a unique model where app makers publish their work, allowing others to remix and improve it, and earn a share of revenue alongside the original creators they drew inspiration from.\n\nAccording to Volodymyr Seliuchenko, Robutler's founder and CEO, the platform is akin to the \"YouTube of software,\" as it enables users to access and contribute to a vast array of applications. Robutler's underlying infrastructure is funded by ZAS Ventures, which enables applications and AI agents to discover and collaborate with one another using natural language. The platform also connects to external AI assistants and coding agents like Claude and Codex. Robutler has filed three patent applications related to agent discovery, trust ranking, and app-usage attribution, and has published research on trust flow on arXiv. The company has also developed two open protocols, Agent OAuth and UAMP, for identity and messaging between agents across organizational boundaries.\n\nZAS Ventures' Founder and Managing Partner, Andrew Zinchuk, highlighted that the investment was made due to Robutler's unique approach to the agentic internet. Zinchuk believes that Robutler is building the foundation for software creation rather than just providing tools. ZAS Ventures has backed over 25 companies across two funds since 2023 and has been recognized as Investor of the Year 2025 by the Ukrainian Startup Fund. The firm aims to support 30 Ukrainian-founded unicorns by 2034 and provides operational support and an advisor network to help Ukrainian founders gain customers in the US and EU.",
