The story
Automat was founded in 2023 as a Chrome-based RPA tool powered by GPT-4 and computer vision, entering via Y Combinator. The company evolved from a general browser automation tool into an enterprise AI agent platform, with a visible focus on automating legacy insurance carrier portals, claims processing, and policy administration workflows — sectors where traditional RPA breaks down due to UI volatility. By 2026, having disclosed $19M in total funding and an OpenAI partnership, Automat is positioning itself as an AI-native alternative to brittle RPA for enterprise operations teams.
