CopyCat, an AI robotic process automation (RPA) powered by browser agents, has officially launched. This platform lets teams build browser agents that automates what APIs are unable to automate. According to founders Graham Sabin, Abhi Balijepalli, and Zyad Elgohary, the platform has been built to “replace clunky legacy RPA tools and make web automation easy.”
The founders claim that traditional RPA is brittle, expensive, and stuck in the desktop era. It struggles while dealing with dynamic websites and portals, legacy systems without APIs, and maintenance-heavy scripts that constantly break.

CopyCat combines browser agents that navigate websites intelligently, deterministic actions like Xpath selectors for precision, and cloud infrastructure to run automations via API or on schedules. It does not require VMs or desktop installations.
A number of use cases have been listed for CopyCat. They include logistics, property management, real estate, banking portals, insurance portals, legacy websites, and more.
CopyCat lets users use both agentic steps and deterministic steps. According to their website, agentic steps like “click” and “type” work well for specific steps, while agentic steps are great when AI can figure out how to perform dynamic steps like “login with this username and password.”
CopyCat charges on a credits-based system. Users are charged on a monthly basis, depending on volume. Credits track how much CopyCat is used.

The founding team came up with CopyCat after seeing firsthand the difficulties with traditional RPA in various domains like logistics, legacy orgs, fintech, and real estate. CopyCat is part of Y Combinator’s Winter 2025 cohort.
The founders have also previously set up Platter, a platform that simplifies online presence for local restaurants. Sabin had previously worked as a data engineer at Treasury4 and a technology consultant at West Monroe. Balijepalli and Elgohary come from a software engineering background with Balijepalli having previously worked at Zoom, Pondr, and Cisco. Elgohary has previously worked at Okda.
