Entry priceWorkforce $2,000 a month per AI coworker ($1,800 billed annually) · 14 day free trial; Enterprise customFull pricing detail

AI agents that operate computers visually, sold as Automat Workforce (Ace, an AI coworker with its own Mac, inbox and phone) and Automat Core (managed agentic automation replacing legacy RPA on SAP, Citrix and portals without APIs).

Automat builds AI agents that operate computers the way people do. Its agents see screens with vision language models, use a mouse and keyboard, and adapt when interfaces change, so they run web and desktop software, SAP GUI, Citrix and legacy portals that never shipped an API. The company sells two product lines on the same execution engine.

Automat Core is a fully managed agentic automation platform positioned against UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism. It combines UI based agents, AI document extraction and API based automations in one workflow, with a visual and code workflow builder, human in the loop approval steps, scheduled and durable runs, session replay and audit ready history, and a cloud, private or desktop runtime that can execute inside the customer's own infrastructure. Forward deployed engineers build and maintain the automations from a screen recording or SOP, and a documented REST API with personal access tokens creates, runs, schedules and inspects workflows.

Automat Workforce is an AI coworker named Ace with its own Mac, inbox, phone number and logins, reached over email, Slack, Teams, text, iMessage, WhatsApp, document comments and phone calls, priced per agent with a 14 day trial. Customers set which actions need approval, and every run is logged with the steps taken and the screens seen. The vendor states SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA and GDPR, with role based access, SSO and SCIM.

Founded by ex Google engineers Lucas Ochoa and Gautam Bose, Automat is based in San Francisco and states $19M raised, including a $15.5M Series A led by Felicis with Khosla Ventures, Initialized and Y Combinator. Customers are concentrated in banking, lending, insurance and healthcare.

Target customers

Enterprise operations teamsBanking, lending, insurance, and mortgage firmsTeams migrating off legacy RPA

Deployment options

SaaSManaged servicePrivate or desktop runtimeExecution inside customer infrastructure (on premises)

Integrations

Operates any application through the screen (SAP GUI, Citrix, Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday, ServiceNow, EHRs, government and carrier portals, desktop apps) with no APIs required; API based automations call and route data between systems in the same workflow with managed credentials; a documented REST API (OpenAPI 3.1, personal access tokens) and an Enterprise MCP server expose workflows, runs, schedules and sessions; the Workforce agent works inside the customer's own Slack, Teams, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and CRM with its own accounts.

In practice

An agent logs into a legacy carrier portal with no API, extracts policy data, and delivers it into a downstream system, adapting automatically when the portal UI changes

A mortgage lender automates initial disclosures and appraisal data extraction across an LOS without API access or a months long RPA build

A banking customer runs an automation twenty four hundred times a day with CAPTCHA solving, 2FA, and parallel browsers against a production API

Agentic Index coverage score

11.5 / 14 capabilities · 82%

Integrations & Tool Calling Full

API based automations call outside systems and route data between them inside a workflow, signing in with write only managed credentials. The Workforce agent, Ace, holds its own accounts and logins in the customer's tools.

Workflow Orchestration Full

Automat Core runs versioned workflow definitions from a visual and code workflow builder, combining UI agents, document extraction and API calls in one process, with durable runs, a per node timeline, validation and cloning into development versions.

Sourcedocs.runautomat.com/llms.txtread 2026-09-27

Knowledge Grounding & RAG Partial

Agents work from documents supplied for each run and from a project library of curated files and data resources, and the Workforce agent reads a customer handbook. Automat keeps no retrieval index, embeddings layer or graph over customer knowledge, and document extraction parses each document on its own. Models trained on customer history learn from it in training and do not retrieve from it at run time.

Sourcedocs.runautomat.com/llms.txtread 2026-09-27

Human Oversight & Guardrails Full

Workflows carry human in the loop steps that raise approval tasks with actions, fields and an expiry, completed in the product or through the API before the run continues; Workforce customers set which actions need approval before they happen and can pause or redirect the agent.

Security, Identity & Governance Full

Access runs on role based controls with team level isolation, SSO and SCIM through the customer's identity provider, per tool scoped access and an organization scoped isolated environment. Automat lists SOC 2 Type II, with the report under NDA, ISO 27001, HIPAA and GDPR, and runs a trust center at trust.runautomat.com.

Sourcerunautomat.com/capabilitiesread 2026-09-27

Observability & Auditability Full

Every run keeps session replay, retained logs, a per node timeline with inputs and outputs, a recording and screenshots of each action, readable in the product and through the sessions API, with an audit ready history of what the agent did.

Memory & State Persistence Partial

The Workforce agent keeps a handbook the customer adds notes to and works on a dedicated Mac whose state persists, and Automat sells tasks, memory and recall as an add on. Automat does not say how that memory is scoped or how long it lasts, and durable Core runs keep state only within a single run.

Sourcerunautomat.com/pricingread 2026-09-27

Deployment & Data Residency Full

A cloud, private or desktop runtime is offered, and agents can execute inside the customer's own infrastructure so sensitive data stays on premises, with eligible worker groups selectable per workflow; no region list is published.

Sourcerunautomat.com/capabilitiesread 2026-09-27

Prebuilt Agents, Templates & Packs Partial

Use cases on the industry pages include disclosures, claims, KYC and refunds, but forward deployed engineers build each automation for the customer, and there is no catalog of prebuilt agents or templates for customers to adopt. The packages API lists code libraries for workflow steps, which the customer assembles.

Sourcerunautomat.com/capabilitiesread 2026-09-27

Triggers & Channel Coverage Full

Workflows wake on their own through a schedules API that takes a recurrence rule and reports the next fire time, and they also start by webhook or API call. The Workforce agent is reached by email, Slack, Teams, text, iMessage, WhatsApp, document comments and phone calls.

Sourcedocs.runautomat.com/api-reference/programmatic-access/programmatic-access-api/schedules/createread 2026-09-27

Model Flexibility & Routing Partial

Automat assigns two providers by function, Anthropic for computer use and Google Gemini for video. For extraction the customer picks the Mini, Pro or Max tier, each backed by a named Gemini model, so the customer chooses a tier but not a provider.

Sourcedocs.runautomat.com/guides/concepts/extractorsread 2026-09-27

APIs, SDKs & MCP Extensibility Full

A REST Programmatic Access API with an OpenAPI 3.1 specification and bearer personal access tokens creates, runs, schedules and inspects workflows, sessions, extractors, credentials and files, and an MCP server is listed for Enterprise.

Sourcedocs.runautomat.com/llms.txtread 2026-09-27

Testing, Debugging & Optimization Partial

A validate endpoint checks the active workflow definition before deployment without dispatching a run, and run outcome counts per version, session replay and logs support debugging. Testing against real data before production is done by Automat as part of its managed service, not by the customer in the product.

Browser & Computer Use Full

Vision based agents see screens and drive mouse and keyboard across web and desktop applications including SAP GUI, Citrix and legacy portals, with unattended browser and desktop automation, stealth browsers and hosted browser sessions, and each Workforce agent operates its own dedicated Mac.

Recent platform changes

2026-09-30·Agent capabilityVerified

Automat made Ace, the AI teammate in its Automat Workforce product, generally available. Ace gets its own computer, email address, phone number and accounts, takes requests over Slack, Teams, email, SMS, WhatsApp and phone, and does the work inside browser and desktop tools rather than through integrations. It logs every action, handles small reversible tasks alone and asks a designated manager before anything consequential.

Pricing

per AI coworker (Workforce) / scoped outcomes (Enterprise)

Trial available

What is public

The Workforce price per AI coworker, monthly and annual, and the 14 day trial are public; Enterprise is custom.

Billing mechanics

Workforce bills a flat fee per AI coworker (dedicated Mac, email and company account, browser and computer use) with no per seat pricing; Enterprise is a managed service with forward deployed engineers and custom SLAs, quoted on scope, and the capabilities page describes it as usage based with no per bot fees.

Cost watchouts

Workforce add ons (hosted coworker, real user accounts, phone, SMS and iMessage, tasks, memory and recall) are listed without prices; Enterprise is usage based, so high volume runs drive cost.

Variable cost rationale

Workforce is a flat fee per AI coworker, which caps exposure per agent; Enterprise is usage based and scoped, so heavy automation volume moves that bill.

Additional watchouts

Price is per AI coworker, so a second agent doubles the bill; confirm which Workforce add ons are needed and how Enterprise usage is metered.

Sales call required

Mixed (some tiers require a call)

Free / trial

14 day free trial of Workforce from the Studio sign in

Lowest paid plan

Workforce, $2,000 a month per AI coworker billed monthly, $1,800 billed annually

Key ambiguities

Enterprise rates, minimums and how managed engineering time is billed are not published; several Workforce features (hosted coworker, phone and iMessage, tasks and memory) are listed as add ons without prices.

Missing data

Enterprise rates and minimums; add on prices on Workforce.
