Baker Hill Turned a Banker’s Spreadsheet Problem Into a $7 Billion-a-Month Lending Machine
Baker Hill has spent four decades turning tax returns, ticklers and credit memos into software. Its next act is an AI-era platform for community lenders - and a reminder that automation only works after a bank cleans up the way it works.

It's not about what AI can do. It's about what you can rely on AI to do.
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.
Saris AI
Saris AI builds agentic AI workflow agents that automate the repetitive, high-volume back-office work at banks and credit unions - lending, underwriting, compliance, and operations - without replacing the core systems institutions already run. Founded in 2024 by the ex-Oohlala Mobile team, the Montreal- and San Francisco-based company trains agents on each institution's own workflows to execute multi-step tasks under human supervision. In May 2026 it raised a $28.8M Series A led by 8VC to scale deployments and deepen integrations with partners like Fiserv, MeridianLink, and Encompass.
