Autonomous Technologies Group

Superintelligent financial advisor at 0% advisory fees.

The Problem

Autonomous is a superintelligent financial advisor at 0% advisory fees. Today, managing your money means one of two bad options: DIY your money: You end up with accounts everywhere (401k, IRAs, brokerage, crypto, savings, equity, secondaries). Your spreadsheet is always wrong. You make expensive mistakes because this isn't your full-time job. Hire a financial advisor: They'll manage your money and charge 1-2% of assets annually. Run that math over multiple decades and you're handing over half your net worth to fees.

Neither path can economically deliver the sophisticated, personalized strategies the ultra-wealthy use to compound wealth: strategic tax-loss harvesting across individual securities, systematic risk management, portfolio-backed borrowing to defer capital gains, access to alternatives, etc. These aren't secret – they're just economically impossible to deliver at scale through traditional human advisors.

Robos were supposed to fix this, but they were designed in a pre-AI world. In practice they just manage cookie-cutter portfolios. They don't coordinate across your 401(k), taxable accounts, mortgage, equity, and cash flow, they don't help with real decisions like job offers, windfalls, or concentrated stock, and they don't deliver institutional strategies. That's why, even after a decade plus, the biggest robos are still <$100B AUM while old-school advisors like Raymond James / Edward Jones sit on trillions.

We're doing for financial advising what Robinhood did for brokerages. Think of it as a full-stack, AI-native wealth strategist that brings billionaire-style playbooks to ordinary investors. Autonomous is built around a frontier-scale reasoning engine—an AI that perceives global events as they unfold, understanding their deeper implications for markets and and most importantly, how these events will impact your investments.

What We're Building

A Full-Stack, AI-Native Wealth Strategist

Who This Is For

Right now we're focused on:

  • People with multiple fragmented accounts and a spreadsheet they don't trust
  • Brokerage users with a pile of individual bets, not a strategy
  • Anyone who doesn't want to pay 1-2% forever but also doesn't want to be their own wealth manager

Why Now

People everywhere already ask AI about their finances, but there's no Cursor-style "apply" button and it doesn't run continuously. The technology finally exists to deliver institutional wealth management through AI.

Wealth management generates ~$250B/year in advisory revenue, with human intermediaries extracting massive amounts of fees. It feels like a pre-Robinhood brokerage world: entrenched, expensive, structurally misaligned.

Autonomous is following the neobank playbook that companies like Mercury and Ramp used in traditional banking: replace brick-and-mortar with elegant digital experiences.
