Automat
Automat is a managed AI automation platform that builds AI agents to operate computers the way people do. Its agents see screens, read documents, click buttons, and navigate legacy systems, replacing legacy RPA tools like UiPath with self-healing automations. Automat Core handles UI automation, intelligent document processing, and API integrations, while Automat Workforce provides AI coworkers for teams. Deploy in days, not months.
What is Automat?
Automat is a managed AI automation platform that creates AI agents capable of operating computers the way people do — seeing screens, reading documents, clicking buttons, and navigating legacy systems. It positions itself as a modern alternative to legacy RPA tools like UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and Blue Prism, replacing selector-based automation with frontier vision-language models that understand the 'why' behind each action. The Automat Core platform combines three capabilities in one system: UI-based AI agents that interact with any application through the screen (web apps, desktop apps, SAP, Salesforce, Excel, terminals, and legacy portals) while handling CAPTCHAs, 2FA, bot detection, and session management; AI document extraction that reads, classifies, and extracts structured data from PDFs, scanned images, handwritten forms, invoices, claims, mortgage documents, and medical records without templates; and API-based automations with REST endpoints, webhook triggers, and scheduled execution. Automations are delivered as a managed service: customers share a screen recording, SOP, or example files; forward-deployed engineers build and train the agents, test them against real data, and run them in production with monitoring, observability, and ongoing engineering support. Automat also offers Automat Workforce, a separate product line of AI coworkers — Executive Assistant, Project Manager, Research Analyst, Sales Development Rep, Marketing Associate, and Operations Analyst — that join a team in Slack, Google Chat, Teams, or iMessage, learn from every interaction, build persistent memory, and operate existing tools without API integrations. The platform is SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001 certified, logs every action with audit trails, and supports on-premise execution. Automat's proprietary transformer-based 'demonstration-to-automation' engine turns recordings, SOPs, and example files into reliable, adaptable automations, and its self-healing agents keep working when interfaces change. Founded in 2023 in San Francisco by two ex-Googlers (CEO Lucas Ochoa and CTO Gautam), Automat has raised $19.25M in total funding, including a $15.5M Series A led by Felicis with participation from Initialized, Khosla Ventures, and Y Combinator, and has announced a partnership with OpenAI.

Who is Automat for?
Automat is built for operations and back-office teams at enterprises that still run critical work on legacy systems such as SAP, Citrix, Salesforce, EHR platforms, government portals, and proprietary internal tools. Typical buyers include mortgage and lending firms processing loan applications and disclosures, banks handling credit disputes and account administration, insurers automating claims and policy servicing, manufacturers managing purchase orders and inventory, healthcare organizations doing EHR data entry and billing verification, and e-commerce teams dealing with refunds and chargebacks. It is also for teams paying for legacy RPA platforms like UiPath, Automation Anywhere, or Blue Prism who are frustrated with fragile selectors, months-long deployments, and the cost of certified RPA developers and Centers of Excellence. Because Automat is a managed service, non-technical operators — not just engineers — can hand over a screen recording or SOP and receive a production automation in return. Startups and SMBs can use Automat Workforce to hire AI coworkers such as an Executive Assistant, Project Manager, Research Analyst, Sales Development Rep, Marketing Associate, or Operations Analyst that work inside Slack, Google Chat, Teams, and iMessage without building integrations. Common scenarios include automating high-volume document workflows, navigating portals that have no API, running thousands of parallel executions per day, and keeping sensitive data on-premise in regulated industries.
