Over the past year, we kept hearing the same thing: “We invested years into RPA… and now we’re questioning it.” Not because automation failed, but because maintaining it became the job. Companies aren’t leaving automation; they’re leaving how it’s been built, and that shift is driving the move away from legacy RPA tools like UIPath and Automation Anywhere in 2026. We sat down as a team and mapped out why working with Automat makes more sense—and why it’s time to move on from legacy RPA and IDP tools 🤖 Read more here:

Monumental news from team Automat. We're wishing Ted (our moral officer in chief) the happiest of birthdays. He elevates our spirits and keeps us building great software 🐕 Oh, and Conner H. great stuff on the new merch 👀

In 2023, the School of Design featured alumni Lucas Ochoa (BDes ’19) and Gautam Bose (BDes ’19) as emerging founders building a new kind of AI automation platform. Two years later, their company, Automat, has raised $15.5 million in Series A funding, marking a major milestone in its rapid growth. https://lnkd.in/eMBDq6YE

Automat Raises $15.5 Million Series A Automat, a San Francisco, California–based company that specializes in AI-driven automation solutions, has raised $15.5 million in Series A funding. #AI #Automation #AgenticAI #EnterpriseAutomation #AgenticWorkflows #EnterpriseSoftware #SeriesA #Funding https://lnkd.in/gPT9M25P

We at Felicis are proud to lead the series A in Automat, a company that has built the simplest way to turn instructions into AI agents that work. Data entry, information transfer, file management: every company has it, but for compliance-heavy industries like healthcare, financial services, and insurance, repetitive manual tasks keep them bogged down and bottlenecked. Existing RPA solutions are brittle, expensive, and require whole teams just to onboard and manage. Automat is fundamentally transforming operations. They’re taking real work off their customers’ plates in as little time as it takes them to screen share a workflow. It’s easy, it’s cost effective, it’s reliable. And it’s a new way to think of automation. Congrats Lucas Ochoa and Gautam Bose and the entire Automat team!

Hey y’all — I’m placing a Founding Designer who’ll play a critical role in co-creating the platform experience and brand language for Automat. You’ll join a small and growing team, working directly with the extremely design savvy co-founder and CEO. It’s an in person role in SF’s Mission. The ideal candidate will have deep technical skill in design and an appreciation for excellent engineering. Ideally you’ve previously combined both in order to build brilliant products experiences and materials that are balanced, efficient, and work perfectly in their time and context. We’re trying to find the 2025 software equivalent of the mid century designers Plywood. I’m using Liftoff to make it easy for you to share recommendations, and are happy to offer $7,500 as a referral fee for the hired candidate. If you know someone (or are that candidate), please reply in the thread — or you can re-share with folks who will know people: https://lnkd.in/g7MDEBd6 🙏 #BayAreaJobs #AIStartup #DesignOpportunity #FoundingDesigner
