Your life isn’t lost — it’s just scattered, stripped of context, and rewritten by systems you don’t own.
Every photo you take. Every message you send. Every idea you share. Scattered across platforms, stripped of context, sealed inside proprietary silos, and fed into training sets. Your data becomes their asset. Your patterns become their commodity. Your story is flattened, filtered, and monetized — without your consent.
Autonomy captures your experience — and returns it to your control.
Autonomy captures the raw material of your life — photos, documents, audio, video — and organizes it into signals: contextual, structured fragments of your reality that remain yours, not the platform’s.
Every photo, document, conversation, or video becomes a signal — timestamped, geolocated, embedded with metadata. The system detects patterns and synthesizes meaning without distortion.
You own the system. You own the data. No black-box algorithms. No third-party gatekeepers. No therapeutic reframing of your experience. Just the raw, structured truth.
This isn't theory. It's operational.
Autonomy has processed over 800 longform video signals with full metadata extraction and AI synthesis. Thousands of signals — documents, conversations, images, routes — across active realms. Production-grade, running for 2+ years. This is a working system, not a whitepaper.
How it works
Capture Everything
Photos from your phone. Videos you publish. Documents you write. Conversations you have. Maps of where you've been. All of it becomes signals with timestamps and locations.
Extract Structure
AI processing pulls out topics, people, places, timestamps. The structure of your life becomes queryable without manual tagging.
Find Patterns
System clusters signals across time, geography, and themes. Recurring patterns emerge. You see what actually happened, not what an algorithm wants you to remember.
Reflect Without Reframing
AI synthesis mirrors reality. No therapeutic language. No reinterpretation. Just high-fidelity reflection of what's actually in your data.
