Automat AI Raises $15.5 Million Series A Led by Felicis to Scale Enterprise AI Agents
Automat AI, a San Francisco–based developer of enterprise AI automation technology, has secured $15.5 million in Series A funding as it scales its platform for building AI agents that automate complex software workflows. The Series A round was led by Felicis, with participation from Initialized Capital, Khosla Ventures, and Y Combinator, alongside follow-on investments from K5 Global and Input Capital. With this latest raise, Automat’s total disclosed funding stands at $19.25 million.
Founded by Lucas Ochoa and Gautam, Automat focuses on enabling enterprises to deploy AI-driven agents that interact with software applications in a human-like manner. The company’s technology allows users to convert demonstrations, screen recordings, or standard operating procedures into fully deployed automated workflows. By combining transformer-based models with document extraction, user interface interaction, and API integrations, Automat aims to handle tasks traditionally associated with robotic process automation and intelligent document processing, particularly in highly regulated industries.
Automat positions its platform as a next-generation alternative to legacy RPA tools, which often require extensive custom development and ongoing maintenance. The company says its AI agents are designed to be more flexible and resilient, adapting automatically to changes in user interfaces that would typically break traditional automations. This adaptability is intended to reduce downtime and maintenance costs for enterprises that rely heavily on automated processes across multiple software systems.
The platform is already being used in a range of enterprise scenarios, including automating mortgage and lending workflows, processing insurance claims, and verifying customer information across multiple systems. These use cases are aimed at reducing manual effort in high-volume operations while improving speed and consistency. Automat also provides analytics and observability features to help organizations monitor the performance and reliability of their AI agents over time.
The new funding will support Automat’s efforts to expand its product capabilities, grow its engineering and go-to-market teams, and onboard additional enterprise customers. The company is focused on helping organizations transition away from brittle, rules-based automation tools toward AI-driven systems that can handle variability and complexity more effectively. As enterprises continue to modernize their operations, demand for more intelligent automation solutions is expected to grow.
Automat’s investors bring significant experience in scaling software and artificial intelligence companies. Felicis, the lead investor, is known for backing technology-driven startups across multiple stages, while Initialized Capital, Khosla Ventures, and Y Combinator have supported a wide range of high-growth companies in AI and enterprise software. Their involvement is expected to provide not only capital but also strategic guidance as Automat navigates its next phase of growth.
The funding round reflects broader investor interest in AI-native automation platforms that go beyond traditional process automation. As organizations seek to improve operational efficiency and reduce reliance on manual workflows, solutions that combine advanced AI with practical enterprise integration are gaining traction. Automat’s approach centers on making AI agents a core part of enterprise operations rather than experimental tools.
Looking ahead, Automat plans to continue expanding its customer base and refining its technology to support more complex and mission-critical workflows. With fresh capital and backing from prominent investors, the company is positioning itself as a key player in the evolving market for AI-powered enterprise automation.
