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.
