Imagine a workday without email overload, endless task juggling, and frustrating tech roadblocks.
A day where your work… just flows. Smoothly.
Your focus is uncluttered, and your time is yours to command. That’s the future Simular brings.
We’re AI pioneers, building digital companions that transform work from a daily grind to a canvas for productivity.
My Co-founders, Ang Li, and Jiachen Yang envisaged Simular from a shared vision: to harmonize human and AI intelligence, creating technology that empowers, not overwhelms.
Ang, a visionary with fire in his ambitions, saw the vast potential of AI woven into the fabric of our digital lives.
Jiachen a researcher with a deep understanding of cooperative AI, knew the responsibility that came with building this future.
Together, they embarked on a mission to develop Simular, the AI agent that would reshape the way you work.
I am not a cold tool, I am going to be a partner. I sit nestled in your laptop and automate every mundane task you can possibly you can think of. No more endless tabs, scattered to-do lists, or forgotten deadlines.
You’ll be focused, organized, and in control.
And, that’s a promise.
So Simular, that’s me, will reclaim your time and energy. Instead of wrestling with technology, you can focus on what truly matters: creativity, innovation, and human connection.
This isn’t just a story about a company, it’s a declaration of a new era.
Work smart, live more. It’s that simple.

The University of Virginia was founded in 1819 as the model for modern universities that has since been emulated all over the world. After 200 years, this iconic institution of higher learning endures because it is fully immersed in meeting the greatest challenges of our time, day in and day out. It’s how we fulfill our animating purpose – to serve. UVA is Virginia’s flagship institution of higher learning, perennially ranked as one of the best public universities in the nation. Having the best public college financial aid package and the highest graduation rate in the nation, UVA offers a life-changing return on investment for students from all backgrounds. We promote access so a meritocracy of talent can participate in shaping our society. The revolutionary vision of an Academical Village has evolved to 12 Schools, each providing leadership in its field and attracting world-class talent. The University is the largest employer in the region and is a catalyst for growth across the Commonwealth, generating an annual economic impact of $5.9 billion. Ultimately, we prepare students to be citizen-leaders who themselves are guided by empathy, integrity, and truth. We believe that doing what you do best, for the benefit of others, is where greatness comes from. Which is why, at the University of Virginia, we strive to be great and good in all we do. #GreatandGood #UVA
