Applied Autonomy builds autonomous software that works for you — and only you.
Autonomous software is arriving faster than the trust required to use it. Most of it is built to maximize engagement, harvest data, or say whatever makes the metric go up. We build the other kind: agents that run on your machine, work only for you, and are constrained by structure rather than promises.
Where a competitor writes a policy, we write a proof — our safety guarantees are enforced in code and verified by tests, not asserted in a document you’ll never read. The result is software you can hand real responsibility to, because its limits aren’t a matter of our good intentions.
| No. | Principle | Provision |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Local-first | Your data stays on your device. We don’t build products that require us to see your life. |
| 02 | Structurally honest | If our software makes a claim about you, it can prove it. Truthfulness is enforced by construction, not by instruction. |
| 03 | You hold the pen | Automation ends before the moment that matters. Our agents prepare; you decide. |
| 04 | No dark patterns | We don’t manufacture urgency, hide the off switch, or charge for visibility into what we’re doing on your behalf. |
| 05 | Honest economics | We tell you what things cost and why. Free where it should be free, paid where it’s genuinely worth paying for. |
Principles are enforced in code and verified by tests; this sheet is the readable copy.
