Superintelligent financial advisor at 0% advisory fees

Invest like the ultra-wealthy with an AI-native wealth strategist. To manage their money, most are faced with two bad options: DIY chaos (accounts everywhere, broken spreadsheets, a pile of individual bets and no strategy) or pay a 1–2% advisor fee and hand over a massive portion of your net worth to fees. Autonomous: Connect your accounts, ask any money question, and get a personalized direct index that continuously optimizes taxes, risk, and cash. No 1–2% advisor fee.

Hello! My cofounder and I previously built and exited Paperspace, one of the first GPU clouds. After selling Paperspace, we did the “responsible” thing and tried to get our own finances dialed in.
That means one of two bad options:
- DIY: Accounts scattered everywhere. Spreadsheets are always wrong. Expensive mistakes because this wasn’t my full-time job.
- Hire an advisor: 1-2% of assets annually. I ran that math over multiple decades and realized I was handing over a massive portion of my net worth to fees.
Neither can deliver the strategies the ultra-wealthy use to compound wealth. These strategies aren't secret – they're just economically impossible to deliver at scale through traditional human advisors.
Robo advisors tried to automate it, but without real intelligence they hit a wall. In practice: cookie-cutter portfolios and little else.
That's when it hit me: people everywhere are already turning to AI to answer financial questions... but there's no Cursor-style "apply" button. It's not connected to your money.
Meanwhile, wealth management generates ~$250B/year with human intermediaries charging massive fees. Entrenched, expensive, structurally misaligned.
It started to look a lot like brokerages right before Robinhood.
So we decided to build the missing layer.
Autonomous (becomeautonomous.com) is a superintelligent wealth manager with 0% advisory fees.
We’re doing for financial advising what Robinhood did for brokerages. Think of it as a full-stack, AI-native wealth strategist that brings billionaire-style playbooks to ordinary investors.

Finally! A way to manage wealth without selling a kidney to pay for fees :D just kidding :) Autonomous is here to save me from myself and my terrible financial decisions.
Super cool. I'm from EU and trying to build something in a similar space but completely different market. Would love to be a beta tester!
Btw just one question: how do you make money? it will be subscription?
The idea of zero-fee autonomous investing is compelling. That said, as a user it naturally raises the question: if advisory fees are truly 0%, where does Autonomous generate revenue?
I’m particularly curious how user data factors into the business model. Is monetization driven by premium features or partnerships, or does it involve using or sharing user financial data in any way? Transparency on this would go a long way toward building long-term trust.

@carlesonielfa you can get free advice (portfolio analysis/construction, answers to any financial question, etc) and implement our recommendations yourself. Or optionally we can manage it for you. By doing so, we create a hyper personalized direct index which essentially replaces the ETF fees you already pay for. Direct indexing has many benefits over ETFs such as granular tax loss harvesting.
Are you available in Europe?
Curious to know how you handle regulatory requirements such as Mifid 2.
Btw, totally agree with you on the two bad options (DIY, advisor) but unfortunately, in many cases, people don't really have a real alternatives because of regulatory constraints.
Autonomous
@ddu unfortunately US only for now :( Regulatory constraints are the reason like you said but we’ll be there eventually hopefully. It’s not a blocker just a big hurdle.
Congrats on the launch 🙌.“DIY chaos” is painfully accurate spreadsheets everywhere, zero strategy, lots of stress. The zero advisory fee angle is a big plus, especially for people who want guidance without giving up 1–2% forever.The trust moment when connecting accounts feels like the make-or-break step here. If that clicks, this could be really compelling.
Very cool concept, could be a total game changer if nailed. A question if you don't mind - when using Chat GPT / Claude to kick the tires in this space, I've found the AI to parrot whatever the most popular articles / newspieces / analysts it can find on a given investing subject or stock and extrapolate from there. I really have to challenge the thinking process to overcome this, and even then I worry it's just saying "what I want to hear". Are you adding any layers / customization in your AI prompting to avoid this tendency?
