Autonym, compared with doing it by hand, hiring, or an agency

Keep doing it by hand

$0 Free, except your evenings
  • The same hours lost, every week
  • Nothing changes
  • When it breaks, you are the backup

Hire admin help

$55,000+ A year, part time, including super
  • A person doing manual work
  • Wages, leave, turnover
  • Sick days and handovers

A typical automation agency

$4,000 to $40,000+ Per project
  • Often a quote first, price later
  • Retainers from $1,500 a month
  • When it breaks, it depends on the retainer

The method

Five steps from first chat to running automation

The same five plain steps every time. No hidden phases, no jargon, and no long silences where you wonder what is happening.

01

Diagnose

A plain-English process-mapping session finds where the hours actually go.

02

Design

You get a short plan: the problem, the fix, the tools and a fixed price.

03

Build

Built around the tools you already use, working within two to three weeks.

04

Prove

It runs alongside your current process until you trust it.

05

Operate

Add Care and we monitor it, fix it and report what it saved you each month.

Who we work with

Built for teams where admin is the bottleneck

If your business runs on repeating jobs, chasing, typing, filing, following up, we can almost certainly take some of it off your plate. Any size, any industry.

Feeling behind?

You know AI matters. Nobody has shown you where it fits.

Re-keying data at nine at night while every week brings another AI story? You are not behind, and you are not the problem.

Senior attention, direct accountability

Autonym is an AI automation studio, not an org chart. The person you speak to on the first call maps your process, builds the workflow and answers when something needs attention. Your data stays private and nothing is used to train anyone's models.
