Autonomy Launches a Complete Platform for Agentic AI

Autonomy announced the general availability of its innovative platform-as-a-service (PaaS), specifically designed to facilitate the development of agentic AI products. This service is a groundbreaking approach aimed at overcoming critical challenges developers face when transitioning autonomous agents from prototype phases to full-scale production.

As businesses aggressively embrace what is termed “Software 3.0,” alongside multi-agent AI frameworks using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), they consistently encounter various setbacks. Many companies struggle with issues such as messy integrations, significant gaps in agent governance, fragile workflows, costly infrastructure, and a lack of insights into the agents' behavior. Autonomy’s new offering eliminates these obstacles, allowing teams to launch viable products rather than delicate demos.

Matthew Gregory, the CEO and Founder of Autonomy, explains, “Developers shouldn’t need to cobble together numerous tools to enable a scalable agentic product. Our platform ensures that each agent boasts a cryptographic identity, along with memory, knowledge, and safe integrations with tools, enabling developers to deploy in seconds and expand to millions of agents without compromising security or observability.”

A Robust Framework for AI Development

The platform presents developers with an open-source framework that accelerates product creation. Agents are developed using Python, connected to tools via MCP or APIs, and deployed seamlessly to the Autonomy Computer. This ensures that developers can leverage secure connectivity, dynamic scaling, and built-in governance—all without the burden of managing complex infrastructures.

However, merely having agents operate from a laptop is insufficient. The true advantage lies in deploying agents at scale, orchestrating their operations, and integrating them with enterprise systems. The Autonomy Computer establishes the necessary framework for trust, governance, and interoperability, turning standalone agents into valuable services for customers.

Enhanced Runtime and Scalability

Unlike traditional container stacks, the elastic actor runtime of Autonomy Computer allows the launching of millions of lightweight, stateful agents concurrently. Cold starts occur in mere milliseconds, accelerating workflows that would typically require hours down to just seconds. Teams can initiate their journey with one proof of concept (POC) customer and scale to enterprise-ready, multi-tenant products without the need for extensive re-architecting.

Secure Messaging and Connectivity

Connectivity has traditionally been a major hurdle for agentic systems. Autonomy addresses this concern with its Private Links and identity-driven cryptography, ensuring that agents communicate securely across services with mutual authentication and end-to-end encryption. This development allows enterprises to meet compliance regulations without overhauling their security frameworks.

Key Features of the Platform

Key functionalities include:

• - Framework and SDK: Rapid development and deployment of Python agents.
• - Secure Connectivity and Identity: Each agent has a unique cryptographic identity with Private Links controlling API and data access.
• - Elastic Actor Runtime: Supports millions of agents with ultra-fast cold starts.
• - Governance and Isolation: Implements scope isolation and attribute-based access control to maintain minimal privilege access.
• - Observability Tools: Comprehensive evaluation, logging, metrics, and endpoint facilities for full operational visibility.
• - Knowledge, Memory, and Planning: Agents maintain coherence during lengthy tasks, enhancing reliability and performance.

With the release of this new PaaS, organizations can begin deploying single agents or launch comprehensive agentic products. Autonomy aims to position itself as the ultimate platform for enterprises eager to adopt agentic AI solutions confidently, ensuring reliability, scalability, and trust.
