Lucas Ochoa, founder and CEO of Automat, has been instrumental in driving the adoption of automation within the legal sector. Featured in multiple blog posts, he has discussed the transformative impact of automation on routine legal tasks, emphasizing the benefits of e-filing, case management, and document review. Ochoa has advocated for custom workflow automation solutions that prioritize efficiency, accuracy, security, and compliance. Under his leadership, Automat announced a $3.75M seed funding round to further develop their technologies, which include the use of generative AI, natural language processing, and visual language models for advanced document handling. Ochoa’s vision extends to simplifying the automation process, as demonstrated through Automat’s use of video demonstrations and plain text descriptions to explain their technology. His previous experience at Google, working on conversational interfaces and large language models, has also influenced his approach at Automat, aiming to reduce the cost and complexity of robotic process automation (RPA) and making it accessible for widespread use in legal practices.
