Sola

What Sola does

Sola (legal entity: Sola Solutions Inc.) is a New York-based AI-native agentic process automation company founded in 2023 by MIT alumni Jessica Wu (CEO, formerly at Citadel, Goldentree, and Thrive Capital) and Neil Deshmukh (CTO, formerly at MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab and Quest for Intelligence Labs). The platform combines large language models (LLMs) and computer vision to convert recorded user screen actions into autonomous bots that visually interact with browser and desktop applications, replicating human behavior at the UI level. Core product capabilities include a no-code visual workflow editor, AI-powered document processing, data transformation, orchestration with audit trails, transparent monitoring, and an agentic engine that self-heals and adapts to changing conditions over time. The platform is SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliant, with API support for composable and embeddable workflows.

Sola targets enterprise customers — specifically Fortune 100 companies, AmLaw 100 law firms, and billion-dollar leaders in healthcare and logistics — via a demo-led, direct enterprise sales motion. Named customers include Morgan & Morgan and Chapter in legal services, Ally Logistics, KCH Transportation, Armstrong Transport Group, Dart, and WSI in transportation and logistics, and Firstbase and Kintsugi in technology/insurance. Sola positions itself as an alternative to legacy RPA vendors (UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, Microsoft Power Automate), emphasizing fastest time-to-value (screen recording to bot in minutes), self-healing automations that resist UI changes, and citizen-developer accessibility for non-technical business users.

The company operates on an enterprise SaaS subscription model with quote-based, annual billing and no public pricing tiers disclosed. Total funding raised is $21M, comprising a $3.5M seed round led by Conviction (Sarah Guo) with Y Combinator participation and a $17.5M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz in August 2025. Channel partnerships include Salt Edge for open banking and payments expansion in Europe (October 2025) and Retail Management Hero for retail payments distribution via the VAR channel (February 2026). The team is described as intentionally small (1-10 employees) with recent senior engineering leadership addition (David Fullerton as Head of Engineering, formerly CTO/President of Stack Overflow and Fog Creek).

Direct peers

• UiPath: The dominant legacy RPA platform, explicitly named by Sola as a primary competitor. UiPath sells enterprise process automation with bot-building tools, directly overlapping Sola's core RPA + document processing + orchestration offering, though its architecture is script-based rather than AI-native.
• Automation Anywhere: Legacy RPA incumbent competing for the same enterprise automation budgets as Sola. Offers bot development, document processing, and process discovery, with an emerging agentic AI layer — directly comparable to Sola's agentic process automation positioning.
• Blue Prism: Enterprise RPA platform owned by SS&C, serving large regulated enterprises. Named by Sola as a legacy RPA competitor; competes in the same process automation category but with traditional, script-based bot execution rather than AI-native generation.
• Workato: Enterprise integration and automation platform (iPaaS) targeting business users with low-code recipes. Competes with Sola in cross-application workflow automation for enterprise ops teams, though Workato emphasizes API-based integration versus Sola's UI-level approach.
• Tray.io: General-automation and integration platform serving enterprise RevOps, SalesOps, and IT teams. Directly comparable to Sola in targeting non-technical builders automating cross-application enterprise workflows, with a similar low-code ethos and mid-market to enterprise GTM.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft Power Automate: Microsoft's broad workflow and RPA platform, bundled inside the Microsoft 365 / Power Platform ecosystem. Sola explicitly calls out Power Automate as legacy RPA it aims to displace; Power Automate competes via distribution (existing enterprise Microsoft agreements) rather than AI-native architecture.
• Zapier: Largest horizontal workflow automation platform, primarily serving SMBs and prosumers. Overlaps with Sola in no-code cross-app automation and increasingly in AI-agent workflows, though Zapier does not focus on Fortune 100 enterprise RPA deployments.
• Amazon Web Services (Bedrock Agents / Nova Act): AWS is both a partner (Sola uses Nova Act per Amazon's customer testimonial) and a competitive threat via Bedrock Agents and Nova Act. As a hyperscaler, AWS can bundle agentic automation into its enterprise cloud stack at distribution scale Sola cannot match.
• Google Vertex AI Agents: Google Cloud's enterprise agent-building framework. Directly competes with Sola in the agentic AI for enterprise workflows category, with the distribution advantage of being embedded in Google Cloud's enterprise sales motion and Workspace surface area.

Emerging players

• n8n: Open-source workflow automation platform popular with technical teams for building AI-augmented automations. Emerging competitor in the agentic automation space with a stronger developer / self-host orientation than Sola's enterprise-focused, no-code offering.
