What Autotab does

Autotab is a drop-in AI knowledge worker that uses a mouse and keyboard like you - so anything you can do, it can do. Show it how to perform your task, train it to be hallucination-proof by adding examples and providing feedback, and then run it on demand or on a schedule - either locally or in the cloud. It achieves superhuman reliability, and can scale up on demand so your team doesn’t have to. Autotab is already handling complex tasks thousands of steps long, from messaging customers to triggering payments and updating data across core systems of record like Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Sheets, and Jira.

AI agents reliable enough to do real work

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build an AI knowledge worker that interacts with software through mouse and keyboard just like a human. You show it how to do a task, train it to avoid hallucinations with examples and feedback, then run it anytime or on a schedule. It can handle complex workflows across tools like Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Sheets, and Jira, making routine but intricate B2B tasks scalable without adding headcount.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, and the company is based here now and will remain so after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the enterprise AI productivity space is active and where we can best reach customers and talent. Staying local helps us stay close to users and relevant infrastructure.
