I actually know about this a bit since it was part of what I was studying with my incomplete PhD.

Isabelle has had the "Sledgehammer" tool for quite awhile [1]. It uses solvers like z3 to search and apply a catalog of proof strategies and then try and construct a proof for your main proof or any remaining subtasks that you have to complete. It's not perfect but it's remarkably useful (even if it does sometimes give you proofs that import like ten different libraries and are hard to read).

I think Coq has Coqhammer but I haven't played with that one yet.
