Y Combinator-backed Automat turns videos into workflow automations | TechCrunch

Sep 06, 2023 - techcrunch.com
Lucas Ochoa and Gautam Bose, former Google Creative Lab employees, have developed an AI system called Automat (formerly Lasso) that translates videos or descriptions into software automation workflows. The system, which can automate any PC workflow, uses AI to interpret step-by-step instructions and perform actions on a user's behalf. Automat comes in two versions: unattended, which runs in the cloud without human oversight, and attended, which assists users with repetitive tasks.

Automat recently raised $3.75 million in an equity financing round from Initialized Capital and Khosla Ventures. The funds will be used to support the launch of Automat's new Sandbox feature and expand its workforce. The company claims that Automat is up to 10 times faster and one-tenth the price of its competitors in the workflow automation market.
