autonomy
curated tools & research on AI agents
AI agents are the future
autonomy curates the latest tools and research papers on AI agents.
we help researchers, developers, and enthusiasts navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of AI agents.
what are AI agents?
AI agents are systems that can independently perceive their environment, make decisions, and take actions to achieve specific goals.unlike traditional AI models that respond to direct commands, AI agents can:
plan and execute complex tasks
adapt to changing conditions
learn from their experiences
interact with their environment
collaborate with humans and other agents
why we exist
the field of AI agents is advancing rapidly, with new research papers, tools, and frameworks emerging daily. finding reliable, cutting-edge resources can be challenging and time-consuming.autonomy solves this by carefully selecting and organizing the most significant developments in AI autonomy, making them accessible to everyone building the future of autonomous systems.our focus areas:
breakthrough research papers
open-source development tools
practical implementation guides
emerging frameworks
ethical considerations
we maintain a neutral, technical perspective, prioritizing substance over hype to help you stay informed about meaningful advances in AI autonomy.
follow us on X and Bluesky for updates.autonomy is a fun side project by @amrith.
