Documentation
Autonoma is a Windows desktop application. It runs on your machine, uses your accounts, and calls AI and data providers with API keys you supply. Nothing here requires a server of ours to be up.
These pages describe what the software does today. Where something is switched off by default or not implemented, that is stated rather than glossed over.
Start here
- Install and licence — get it running and entered.
- API keys — the app ships with none, so this is the step that makes anything work.
- Social Studio — connect an account and plan your first posts.
The shape of the thing
Autonoma is around forty screens in one window, grouped into ten areas. You are not expected to use all of them — most people live in two or three and ignore the rest. Anything you have not configured reports itself as unconfigured rather than pretending.
| Area | What is in it |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Overview with system scan and bot controls, and an agentic CLI that can drive the rest |
| Analytics | Revenue and activity charts, revenue by stream and platform, CSV export |
| Income and publishing | Storefront, audiobook builder, a Library with real PDF/EPUB/audio readers, passive-income channels, creator marketplace and partner programme |
| Trading and crypto | Trading, wallet, multichain transfers, mining, claiming, token deployment — all off by default |
| Automation | Bots, connected platforms, pricing rules, campaigns, pipelines |
| AI and evolution | Provider keys, text/image/audio/video generation, a self-improvement loop, DAO governance, and the JK2 agent |
| Development | A full IDE with LSP and debugging, VPS management over SSH, Jedi Knight modding tools |
| Reverse engineering | Static analysis of executables, firmware, WebAssembly, Android and .NET |
| Communication | Discord bot and announcements, social accounts and the Social Studio |
| System | Background service, feature toggles, security centre, settings, logs |
A full screen-by-screen breakdown, with the known limitations of each, is on the features page.
The crypto features are governed by explicit switches. Storing an exchange API key does not enable trading — the credential and the permission are deliberately separate decisions. See safety and dry run.
Where your data lives
Everything is under your user profile, not in the installation directory:
%USERPROFILE%\.autonoma\
data\credentials\ your API keys, encrypted
data\social\ connected accounts and the content plan
data\safety\ the dry-run journal and stop file
logs\ application logs
The encryption key for credentials is generated once, on your machine, and stored alongside them. No other installation can read your credential file.
What it will not do
- It does not upload your content anywhere except to the platforms you connect.
- It does not publish anything without a named person approving it first.
- It does not spend money, place an order, or sign a transaction while dry run is on, or while the relevant feature switch is off.
- It does not ship with anyone’s API keys, and it never sends your keys to us.
