About Automat: the enterprise agentic process automation company

Building the Modern Enterprise Automation Platform

Traditional automation software is slow & expensive, that’s why we built Automat. It’s 10X faster and 1/10th the price. It lets companies automate their work without a massive team or budget.

Our Story

Founded by two ex-Googlers who realized the potential of using AI techniques from robotics and applying them to software automations.

At Google, their team was tasked with finding product applications of LaMDA in early 2020, & they built over 50+ prototypes integrating LaMDA across Google’s products and services. Eventually Gautam (Automat CTO) would go on to implement multiple demos for Google’s first public Demonstration of LaMDA, the AI test kitchen.

Our team of robotics/ai engineers and operators at Automat work out of a former historic brewery, in the sunny San Francisco Mission District.

We believe:

Agency is for People

We believe knowledge work will be primarily done by AI agents, authored by humans. Our goal is to create the tools to make that possible.

Build Great Stuff

We obsess over craftsmanship. The tools we build should empower and delight the people who use them.

Which one do I need?

Rules move the work. Judgment decides where it goes. Why enterprise RPA and an AI teammate are two halves of the same team.

Building an Agent the Whole Team Can Trust

Benchmarks tell you whether an agent can do the work. Teams of people decide whether they want it around.

Digital teammates deserve a seat at the company table

Claude Cowork, Grok bot, Instinct, and a wave of “AI coworkers” borrow your identity. That’s different from adding someone to your team.
