AI-native automation platform replacing legacy RPA with agentic workflows
Automat is building an AI-first automation platform designed to displace traditional RPA and IDP solutions. The tech stack—Python, TypeScript, Next.js, with direct integrations to OpenAI and Anthropic—reflects a core bet on LLM-driven agents over rule-based automation. Early-stage hiring (11 roles, decelerating) is skewed toward senior engineers (5 of 9 technical hires), signaling a focus on deep platform work over rapid go-to-market scaling.

Automat provides an enterprise automation platform combining robotic process automation and intelligent document processing in a single interface. Founded in 2023 and based in San Francisco, the company employs 11–50 people. The product centers on agentic workflow builders—automation logic expressed through AI agents rather than legacy RPA scripting—and targets the replacement of slow, expensive automation software in mid-market and enterprise operations. Current development effort spans the core Automat Studio platform, a developer toolkit, and IDP modules for tailoring solutions to customer workflows.
Python, TypeScript, Next.js, OpenAI, Anthropic, Vercel AI SDK, and Figma for design. Git and Cursor for development workflow.
