Web agent from Paris-based H Company: follows text commands to browse sites, click, fill out forms, and collect data. By August 2026, the name had disappeared from the lineup — the vendor sells HoloTab, Holo API, and computer-use agents.
Facts
- H Company was founded in Paris in 2023 (Laurent Sifre, Charles Kantor, and three DeepMind alumni); in May 2024 it closed a $220 million seed round, Europe's largest at the time. Since June 2025, the company has been led by Gautier Cloix, previously head of Palantir France (Wikipedia, Sifted).
- Runner H was unveiled in November 2024 as H's first agent platform: a combination of a large language model and a compact 2 billion-parameter vision-language model. On 06/03/2025, it launched as part of the Studio platform with a private beta, outperforming Anthropic Computer Use on the WebVoyager benchmark (hcompany.ai, businesswire 06/03/2025).
- As of Aug 19, 2026, there is no separate Runner H product on the vendor's site: runner.hcompany.ai returns a 308 redirect to surfer.hcompany.ai and then to the Surfer 2 page, while the lineup includes the HoloTab Chrome extension, Holo Models API, and Computer-use Agents launched on Jul 16, 2026 (redirect checked Aug 19, 2026, hcompany.ai).
- Agent model foundation: the Holo3 family launched in March 2026 with a claimed ~78.9% on OSWorld-Verified, above GPT-5.4 and Claude Opus 4.6 at roughly tenfold lower inference cost; the smaller Holo3-35B-A3B is open under Apache 2.0 (Wikipedia, hcompany.ai).
The full card is in the works: the "worth it or not" verdict, pricing and a comparison with neighbors will appear as it moves through the card factory.
