Automatiga Built the Control Room for Software Robots - Then AI Agents Took the Keys
A three-person Utah company assembled the plumbing for an automation program - ideas, bots, controls, analytics and 550-plus connector actions. Its next move was not another dashboard, but an acquisition that folded the stack into qBotica's agentic AI push.
The Quiet Machine Room Behind Wall Street's Trades and Your Favorite Brand's Homepage
Two Wharton classmates started a "virtual" outsourcing shop in a small South Mumbai office in 2000. Twenty-five years later, eClerx settles trades, cleans data, and builds e-commerce pages for the Fortune 500 - and is betting its next chapter on AI that reshapes work instead of replacing people.
Eleviant Built the Software Plumbing - Then Became Part of a Bigger Machine
For two decades, the Texas-born consultancy sold an unusually practical promise: connect the old systems, automate the dull work, and ship the application. Its 2022 sale to CTG made that hybrid of services and software the real story.
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.
AMISEQ
AMISEQ has built a 650-plus-person business around an unglamorous enterprise truth: buying technology is easy; making it run across old systems, strict controls and global teams is the difficult part.
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.
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.
Magical
Magical is a San Francisco software company building AI agents and browser-based automation that move data between apps and websites without formal integrations. It started life as a free Chrome extension for text expansion and form autofill used by roughly a million people at companies like Amazon, Airbnb and Netflix, then pivoted toward agentic AI that runs multi-step operational work - increasingly focused on healthcare revenue-cycle and patient-access tasks. Founded in 2020 during the COVID lockdown by the husband-and-wife team of Harpaul Sambhi and Rosie Chopra, the company has raised roughly $41 million, led by a $35M Series A from Coatue.
Expedock
Expedock is a San Francisco-based AI and tech-enabled BPO platform for freight forwarders and logistics providers.
