Lucas and Gautam are saving a seat for Automat's first designer.

The problem

Legacy automation software is brittle; they want agents that operate computers the way people do.

Automat makes AI teammates that do back-office work inside a company's existing tools.

The people

  • Lucas Ochoa · CEO

    • Built products at Google Hardware, then at Google X.
    • Also worked at Microsoft, per his Y Combinator profile.
  • Gautam Bose · Co-founder

    • At Google, applied transformer models to experiments in Chrome and GCP.

So far

Customers include AmeriTrust, Vividly and ABB.

$15.5M Series A led by Felicis (November 2025), $19.25M raised in total, with Initialized, Khosla Ventures and Y Combinator.
