The AI hardware company. We now live in the AI age. Software evolved. Hardware didn't. So we're building AI devices that think for you, about you, and with you.
Autonomous Key is a physical device to help you fix doomscrolling. Apps lock by default. AI reads your habits.

Fable 5 was banned by the US government yesterday.
It's time to build your own Personal AI Computer and run local models. So no one can ever cut you off.
Here's how ↓
Autonomous Key is made to be... lost.
Sounds weird, but yeah. Hide it somewhere you'll forget. Then you can't just leave what you're doing to start scrolling.
Full details about Key on our site. Link below.
1/ Scientists limited app usage on 467 people's phones for 2 weeks.
It sharpened their focus like they'd shed 10 years of aging and improved their mental health more than antidepressants.
We got obsessed and built the Autonomous Key because of it. Here's the study 🧵:

Every product we ship at Autonomous has an AI strategy.
Because the people we build for already think with AI all day. Their workspace should think too. Alongside them.
Some hardware is hard. Some is just fun.
Like this one: a physical key that fixes your relationship with the internet 🧵

Fix doomscrolling in 2 steps:
1. Lock the apps eating your time.
2. Hide your Autonomous Key like a real puzzle. There's no other way to unlock those apps.

We're all a little addicted. TikTok, Facebook & Instagram are digital drugs. The hour with your kid you missed. The dinner you scrolled through. The Sunday that vanished into a feed.
So we made a physical key to fix doomscrolling.

Wake with the sun, work in it, never see a power bill.
We love this off-grid life inside WorkPod Solar.
The solar pod has 3 solar panels and a 10.2 kWh battery. Powers lights, ventilation, outlets up to 12 hours.
So you can work and play inside your backyard office all day.
Summer’s when solar makes the most sense. We’ll help you add it to your WorkPod Pro or Versatile.

2-day build. No permit needed in most US cities.
We’re launching Autonomous Key this week.
Tiny hardware software a bit of AI.
Feels weirdly obvious in hindsight.
Reply and I’ll send you one for free.
In last month's report, our team spent 2 hours a day on TikTok at work. That means 10 hours of overtime weekly to make up.
So we built Key, a little blocker.
Schedule locks fun apps at 8am. No unlock till we get home and scan Key.
Here are some unlocks after dinner lately 🔽
Three months of building the Thinking Lamp.
March: Glued a Raspberry Pi literally into a lamp 😂. MVP worked!
April: Real articulated arm. Servos kept dying when Lamp got excited and danced too hard haha.
This week: Clean body. Speaker. Mic. Light. Looks like a product.
Super happy with the development progress.
Launching soon!
At Autonomous, we move fast and our software stack has become so fragmented. Different teams build different stacks for their devices.
Doing a major refactoring today: build one single “OS” for all devices (sort of like Android for physical AI agents)
“Opus make no mistakes” 😂
Smallest product we've ever built.
We think it might be the most useful product Autonomous has ever made.
10 free units for the first 10 right guesses ↓
“Hey Dee, will WorkPod sit level on my uneven yard?”
Yes. 6 adjustable feet keep it level wherever you set it down.
Brick, grass, gravel, slope, any.
Pouring a slab costs a lot. Site leveling takes a week. Skip both.
That’s the whole point of a prefab backyard office.
We’ve been getting a lot of DMs about WorkPod lately. Thanks for all the love!
If you have any questions, just send them our way and we’ll be happy to answer. Or if it’s easier, we can hop on a quick call together.

Iconic studio setup. All I can see are two ‘backbones’ sitting back to back.
From now on, @BenGeskin’s first task in the morning is choosing which ErgoChair Ultra 2 to sit on!
A pair of awesome ergonomic chairs from @autonomous_labs just landed in the studio
Super comfortable, clean looking, and perfect for long editing sessions.
You can sit for hours working on videos without your back reminding you that you’ve been there all day 👌
Big thanks to Autonomous for sending these over!
