For years, companies have struggled with automating business processes. Traditional robotic process automation (RPA) platforms, marketed as no-code or low-code solutions, promised simplicity but delivered complexity: rigid setups, steep learning curves, slow time to value, and costly maintenance. Recent reports indicate that nearly 50% of RPA activities fail, primarily due to a lack of governance, purposeless automation, and poor design practices. Unlike modern AI solutions, traditional RPA systems cannot learn or adapt — they simply execute tasks exactly as programmed.
Capably, the intelligent automation platform bridges the gap between rigid legacy automation tools and unreliable AI agents. Their proprietary technology combines traditional automation with agentic AI, enabling complex, repetitive workflows to run at scale while maintaining control and reliability. The platform is so intuitive that employees can use it without training.
Today, Capably raises $4 million to replace legacy automation and lead the next wave of AI-powered automation. The investment round is led by Boost Capital Partners, with participation from EU and US investors including Concept Ventures, Sure Valley Ventures, Araya Ventures, Haatch, Koro Ventures, Wayra, and Ascension.
This funding enables Capably to expand its product offering and meet growing demand for effortless, trustworthy, and accessible AI-driven work delegation. The investment positions Capably to accelerate intelligent automation adoption, helping organisations work smarter, faster, and more efficiently.
Why has company-wide automation not worked for most organisations? Capably explains.
The answer lies in current approaches. Traditional RPA excels at simple, repetitive tasks but struggles with complex workflows requiring adaptation. Meanwhile, pure AI solutions lack the control and reliability that businesses need for critical processes.
Founded by Rafa Pulido and Nicolas Trésegnie, seasoned entrepreneurs with experience in building and scaling category-creating startups, Capably is setting the standard for modern AI automation. The co-founders bring C-level experience from multiple successful exits, including their tenure at SuperAwesome — the world’s largest kids’ digital engagement platform, which was acquired by Epic Games in 2020. The founding team includes talented engineers and sales executives who bring substantial expertise to the company’s growth strategy.
Capably enables professionals to automate complex tasks with AI in minutes, regardless of technical expertise. Working autonomously in the background, it acts as a team extension, boosting productivity and efficiency. Any employee can use Capably to automate back-office tasks, generate reports, manage projects, and more, while organisations maintain complete control over AI work delegation.
This approach addresses a major challenge in enterprise automation: the need for specialised knowledge. With Capably’s platform, 70% of teams report increased productivity when collaborating with AI agents, and 67% of users save a substantial amount of time on critical tasks.
Rafa Pulido, CEO and Co-founder of Capably: “Businesses have been overwhelmed by a flood of automation and AI tools in recent years, yet expectations have fallen short. Companies are ready to evolve, but the market noise has created more confusion than clarity. Over 70% of organisations experimenting with AI are failing to turn it into scalable business value. Capably solves this problem by cutting through that noise, delivering the right technology and being the trusted partner who helps organisations spend less time on tedious tasks and more on the work that truly drives them forward.”
The platform integrates with over 100 standard business tools, including Microsoft Office, Google Apps, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Email, enabling seamless integration into existing workflows. This extensive integration makes Capably a truly enterprise-wide solution.
The future of work with agentic AI
The impact of platforms like Capably extends beyond immediate productivity gains. Experts envision a future workplace where AI agents specialise in different roles, with humans acting as chiefs of staff who coordinate AI teams. This transformation is creating new opportunities for AI agent operators, prompt engineers, and specialists in AI ethics.
Benjamin Torrero, Principal at Boost Capital Partners, adds: “AI is transforming how people and businesses operate, and delegating work to AI is the future. Capably is leading this shift, and we’re excited to back them in redefining the way work gets done.”
As enterprises worldwide seek to reduce the estimated $200 billion wasted annually on manual back-office processes, Capably’s intelligent automation represents a significant advance in workplace technology.
