UiPath
UiPath taught software robots to copy clicks. Now it wants to conduct the whole office - AI agents, old systems, APIs and the humans who still know when to say no.
RamAIn
RamAIn is a San Francisco startup (YC W26) building fast computer-use AI agents that operate legacy systems, desktop apps and web portals the same way a person does - reading the screen, clicking buttons, filling forms - without needing API access or custom integrations. Founded by IIT Delhi dropouts Shourya Vir Jain and Vansh Ramani, it turns any repetitive UI task into a managed, self-healing API and targets enterprise back-office work in procurement, insurance, healthcare and finance.
Trace
Trace is a workflow orchestration platform that gives AI agents shared context about how a company actually works, then routes each task to whichever worker fits best - human or AI. Founded in 2025 by Tim Cherkasov and Artur Romanov and backed by Y Combinator's Summer 2025 batch, Trace connects to tools like Slack, Jira, and Notion, builds a knowledge graph of the organization, and turns plain-English process descriptions into visual workflows with AI-automated steps and human approval gates. It raised $3M in seed funding and was the most upvoted startup in the YC S25 cohort.
Laiye
Laiye is a Beijing-founded enterprise automation company building a Work Execution Platform that combines Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), conversational AI and, increasingly, large-language-model-powered AI agents. Started in 2015 by a group of Ivy League and ex-Baidu engineers, Laiye pitches 'digital workers' that handle repetitive back-office tasks so people can focus on higher-value work. It is the only Chinese vendor named in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for RPA for five consecutive years, serves hundreds of Fortune Global 500 and China Top 500 companies, and has raised roughly US$211 million across seven rounds.
Automat
Automat is a San Francisco AI company building agents that operate computers the way people do. Founded in 2023 by CMU design alumni and ex-Google Creative Lab designers Lucas Ochoa and Gautam Bose, it pairs a transformer-based RPA engine with intelligent document processing so enterprises can automate manual back-office work - from KYC checks to mortgage disclosures to medical-claims processing - by simply showing the software a recording of the task. It positions itself as a modern, AI-native alternative to legacy RPA tools like UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism.
Instabase
Instabase is an enterprise agentic automation platform that transforms complex, unstructured document workflows into reliable, verifiable AI-driven outcomes. Founded in 2015 by MIT PhD student Anant Bhardwaj, the company's AI Hub platform enables organizations across financial services, insurance, healthcare, and government to automate document-heavy processes — from loan origination to KYC compliance — using packet-aware AI agents with deep document understanding and full auditability. With $322M in total funding, a $1.24B valuation, and customers like NatWest, Rocket Mortgage, AXA, and MetLife, Instabase has positioned itself as the backbone infrastructure for enterprise document intelligence.
