It delivers this through two products: Automat Workforce and Automat Core.
Workforce - A digital teammate you onboard like a new hire.
Meet Ace, a digital teammate with its own email, Slack, phone, and logins that works across the tools your team already uses. You reach it like a colleague (a text, a channel mention, an email, a doc comment) and it does the work end to end, asks when it needs judgment, and leaves an audit trail for everything it touches.

Core - Managed agentic automation for enterprise
Managed, AI-powered process automation for the enterprise. Automat Core replaces legacy RPA with self-healing agents that combine UI automation, AI document extraction (IDP), and API workflows in one platform. Automat's team builds, tests, and monitors every automation, so operations go live in days (not months), run reliably at scale, and cut operational costs — with human review wherever precision matters.

Is this you?
If you're behind Automat: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
