Descriptiontext

Automatic is an enterprise AI orchestration platform that enables organizations to move from AI experimentation to production-grade deployment of autonomous AI systems and agentic automation. The platform combines three layers — intelligence, execution, and engineering — into a unified system designed to address fragmented AI tooling, security concerns, and the lack of internal AI expertise that typically block enterprise adoption. Its core technical offering is the orchestration layer itself, which coordinates generative AI and process automation capabilities within private, compliant deployment environments; the company describes natural language processing as its primary AI modality and autonomous agents as its flagship capability type.

The company's commercial surface is shaped by two 2026 strategic moves: a Core-tier partnership with Law.co to deliver autonomous AI systems for legal workflows, and integration into DEV.co's unified enterprise AI platform alongside LLM.co. Through Law.co, Automatic's orchestration layer is combined with legal domain intelligence to automate legal research, contract review, and client intake within secure environments. The vertical-specialization GTM is evident in the customer segmentation, which targets law firms as the primary segment addressing fragmented AI systems, security concerns, and limited internal expertise as pain points.

Pricing, revenue model, and contract mechanics are not publicly disclosed. The company operates as a private for-profit entity and was founded in 2011 (per legacy firmographic records, prior to the AI-platform repositioning), with a stated headcount band of 11-50 employees and a San Francisco headquarters. The current operating posture reflects an early-stage commercial platform with concentrated exposure to a single vertical and a single channel partner.

The Manila TimesDEV.co Merges Automation and Private AI Capabilities to Accelerate Enterprise AdoptionDEV.co, a software development and AI engineering firm, announced the integration of Automatic.co and LLM.co into a unified enterprise AI platform designed to help organizations move from AI experimentation to production-grade deployment. The combined platform consolidates three critical layers—intelligence, execution, and engineering—into a single system, addressing common enterprise AI challenges including fragmented systems, security concerns, and lack of internal expertise. The company is positioning this launch to capitalize on growing enterprise demand for private AI deployments and agentic automation capabilities.FinancialContent Business PageAUTOMATIC Partners with Law.co to Deliver Agentic AI Infrastructure for Law FirmsAUTOMATIC announced a strategic partnership with LAW.co to deliver autonomous AI systems purpose-built for law firms and legal departments, enabling end-to-end execution of legal workflows rather than just AI assistance. The combined platform allows firms to deploy specialized agents for legal research, contract review, and client intake within secure, private environments that comply with HIPAA, FINRA, and attorney-client privilege standards. Early adopters of agentic AI in the legal sector are expected to gain advantages in efficiency, cost structure, and client responsiveness as the technology shifts from experimentation to actual deployment.TechCrunchSmart driving assistant Automatic is shutting downAutomatic, a connected car company and maker of a car dongle, announced it will shut down all operations on May 28, citing the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business. The company, which was acquired by SiriusXM in 2017 for over $100 million, will cease all services including crash alerts, location sharing, and roadside assistance. Founded in California in 2011, Automatic had raised $24 million in funding in 2015 and partnered with insurance providers, but faced criticism for ending product support before ultimately shutting down.PR NewswireAutomatic, a SiriusXM Company, Introduces Next Generation Connected Vehicle Service Through Auto Dealer-Focused ProgramAutomatic, a subsidiary of SiriusXM, has launched the Automatic Dealer Program to enable auto dealerships to offer connected vehicle services directly at the point of sale. The program provides customers with three free years of Crash Alert and Connected Maintenance services, along with six months of premium features like roadside assistance.Carrier ManagementAmerican Family Using Smartphone App in UBI Driver Safety ProgramAmerican Family Insurance launched KnowYourDrive, a smartphone app-based usage-based insurance program, to interested policyholders in February, in partnership with TrueMotion and Automatic. TrueMotion's technology can detect distracted driving behaviors, including whether a phone is in the driver's hand or cupholder, and the company reports that drivers spend 12 percent of each trip engaged with smartphones. The program will eventually be offered across all 19 states where American Family operates, offering premium discounts based on driving habits.PR NewswireSiriusXM Acquires Automatic Labs Inc.SiriusXM acquired Automatic Labs, a San Francisco-based connected vehicle services provider, in the second quarter of 2017. The deal strengthens SiriusXM's connected vehicle ecosystem with data collection and analytical tools. Automatic will remain based in San Francisco with its brand and products unchanged.PR NewswireSiriusXM Reports First Quarter 2017 ResultsSiriusXM reported first quarter 2017 financial results with record revenue of $1.3 billion, up 8% year-over-year, driven by a 5% increase in subscribers and a 2.3% rise in average revenue per user to $12.95. Net income grew 20% to $207 million and adjusted EBITDA reached a quarterly record of $502 million, up 14% from the prior year period. The company also announced the acquisition of Automatic Labs Inc. during the quarter while reaffirming its 2017 guidance for revenue of approximately $5.3 billion and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $2.025 billion.TechCrunchThe connected car and another fragmented marketThis article is an opinion/analysis piece arguing that the connected car market is experiencing technical fragmentation similar to early smartphones, with most manufacturers building proprietary systems that prevent seamless device communication. The author posits that standardization—similar to how Android unified smartphones—would unlock massive market growth, enabling cars to communicate with homes, optimize driving based on real-time data, and integrate social features. Tesla is identified as the current leader in connected car technology, while Google, Apple, and various startups like TeslaTracks, EVDriving, and Automatic are working on solutions to bridge the fragmentation gap.TechCrunchAutomatic launches a new lower cost connected car adapterAutomatic has launched the Automatic Lite, a new lower-cost connected car adapter priced at $79.95, available through Best Buy, Amazon, and Automatic's own website. The Lite uses Bluetooth connectivity and relies on the user's phone data connection, unlike the higher-end Pro model which includes built-in cellular, with no subscription requirement for the Lite. The device connects to the car's OBD-II port and offers features including engine light diagnostics, trip tracking, and gas cost monitoring, supporting Automatic's expanding third-party app ecosystem.TechCrunchAutomatic Pro adds unlimited 3G to connected car gadgetAutomatic is introducing the Automatic Pro dongle, which provides an always-on 3G data connection for connected cars, available for $129.95. This device includes unlimited 3G usage for the first five years, along with a companion app that offers customizable notifications and diagnostic features for vehicles. The integrated cellular connectivity aims to enhance the convenience and functionality of the device, especially for older cars.
