▤ Summary

BotCity was founded in 2020 by Gabriel Archanjo, software engineer with masters in IA and expertise on image processing and computer-vision, and Lorhan Caproni, second-timer entrepreneur, who sought to increase productivity and remove complexity for developers to build and manage unique automations on any environment, as web, desktop, android or legacy systems. We are removing complexity, boundaries and increasing productivity in automation ops”, says Gabriel Archanjo, BotCity’s co-founder and CTO. The solution gets completed with BotCity Maestro, a full orchestration platform, with easy deployment and the possibility to run and manage your automations from any virtual machine or containers, making the automation ops scalable from day 1. As for the new funding, BotCity wants to expand globally and become a leader on developer-focused automation and RPA and launch their community license and new modules and features, such as lambda integration and BotCity Docs, a new module focused on document-reading and processing. Astellas’s partner Marcelo Sato highlights the fact that developer tools are still incipient in Brazil: “Although this is a growing market worldwide, BotCity’s solution is yet unprecedented, and it has an enormous potential both in Brazil, where the innovation market grows exponentially, and abroad”, he says.
