Low-code BPMN platform for building customer journey and back office workflows, with a runtime, conversational layer and process analytics module.

Autonom8 sells A8Studio, a browser-based low-code platform for building end-to-end customer journeys and back office workflows, built around a BPMN workflow builder with a drag-and-drop form designer and an option to drop into custom JavaScript. Workflows are designed in A8Studio and then run across three companion modules: A8Flow, the runtime that deploys workflows as long-running client-server applications with a consolidated dashboard for tracking instances to completion, A8Chat for conversational interfaces with bot to live-agent handoff, and A8Solo for self-service journeys.

A8iQ is the analytics module and is the strongest part of the platform on this index's axes, covering operational metrics, process mining to surface bottlenecks, anomaly detection that routes into remediation workflows, and a feedback loop back into A8Studio for refining workflows after deployment.

A8Studio v3.0 added generative AI throughout, built on Google Cloud Vertex AI, letting citizen developers build workflows from typed or spoken natural language prompts and generating services, client and server functions, adapters, SQL queries, dashboards and content.

Funding status

Founded 2017, headquartered in Saratoga, California with engineering in Chennai, India. Uniphore announced its intent to acquire Autonom8 on 28 August 2025, in the same release as the Orby AI acquisition. Autonom8 continues to trade under its own brand with its own product site, documentation and self-serve signup, so it is indexed as a separate record with acquired status rather than folded into the acquirer.

Integrations & Tool CallingA8Studio is documented as automating execution of activities across multiple systems in a multi-role, multi-system workflow without hand-written integration code, and generates adapters as part of the build. The component library explicitly lists integrations alongside flows, templates, components, services and themes, and the platform is described as designed to integrate with existing systems. No connector catalogue, marketplace or named integration list was retrieved from any accessible page. docs.autonom8.com studio and Google Cloud partner listing 2026-08-31	Partial
Workflow OrchestrationA8Studio is built on a BPMN workflow builder for multi-role, multi-participant, multi-system workflows that execute activities across systems without hand-written integration code. Workflows deploy as automated instances into the A8Flow runtime, described as intelligent BPM to automate and orchestrate organizational processes, with long-running workflows maintained across multiple customer channels and a consolidated dashboard to manage and track instances to completion. A8Solo interactions can be invoked from A8Flow processes and vice versa. autonom8.com a8flow and a8solo, docs.autonom8.com studio 2026-08-31	Full
Knowledge Grounding & RAGNo knowledge base, document ingestion, retrieval layer, vector store, semantic index or grounding surface was documented on the A8Studio documentation, the A8Flow, A8Solo or A8iQ product pages, or the platform overview. A8iQ operates on operational and conversational telemetry from running workflows rather than on a customer knowledge corpus. docs.autonom8.com studio and autonom8.com product pages 2026-08-31	Unable to verify
Human Oversight & GuardrailsThe agentic workflow builder is documented as modelling complex approval routes within workflow automation, and workflows are multi-participant and multi-role with activities routed between human and automated actors. A8Flow documents seamless handoff from bot to live support and back again within a running journey. No permission scoping, configurable approval policy or guardrail configuration surface was documented. autonom8.com agentic-workflow-builder and a8flow 2026-08-31	Partial
Security, Identity & GovernanceThe documentation carries a Security section covering API key management, with authentication keys passed in request headers for the deployment, export and process APIs. Signup creates a personal organisation with team members invited into it and the ability to create additional organisations, which is organisation-scoped tenancy. Custom JavaScript is constrained to a limited package selection for security. No SOC 2, ISO 27001 or other attestation, no trust centre, no security page, no SSO, MFA or role-based access control documentation was retrieved. docs.autonom8.com studio and flow 2026-08-31	Partial
Observability & AuditabilityA8iQ is a dedicated analytics module documented as providing complete observability across every aspect of the user experience, process mining to uncover bottlenecks in customer journeys, anomaly detection on incoming data with immediate routing to remediation workflows, operational metrics, and machine learning to optimise business goals and forecast outcomes. Activated workflows are monitored in A8iQ for patterns, insights and anomalies, and the insights feed back into A8Studio. autonom8.com a8iq and a8solo, docs.autonom8.com studio 2026-08-31	Full
Memory & State PersistenceA8Flow is documented as enabling and maintaining long-running workflows across multiple customer channels, with process instances tracked to completion from a consolidated dashboard and handoffs between bot and live support and back again within the same journey. The Export Application API returns all instances and changes in a period, implying persisted instance records. No agent memory store, cross-session recall or learning-from-past-runs capability was documented. autonom8.com a8flow, docs.autonom8.com flow 2026-08-31	Partial
Deployment & Data ResidencyA8Studio is documented as an entirely browser-based platform with journeys deployed as A8Flow SaaS client-server applications. The only environment control documented is promotion of applications between the vendor's own environments via the Deployment and Export APIs. No VPC, private cloud, on-premises, self-hosting, region selection or data residency option was documented on the documentation site, the product pages or the Google Cloud partner listing. docs.autonom8.com studio and flow, autonom8.com product pages 2026-08-31	Unable to verify
Prebuilt Agents, Templates & PacksA8Studio is documented as including a library of flows, templates, components, services, integrations and themes to enable rapid productivity and customisation, drawn on by the customer when constructing journeys. Prebuilt blueprints and reusable building blocks are also described in the workflow builder. Google Cloud partner listing for Autonom8 and autonom8.com platform pages 2026-08-31	Full
Triggers & Channel CoverageThe platform is documented as supporting multi-channel intake across the customer engagement lifecycle, with A8Chat providing conversational interfaces and omnichannel intake cited in the A8Studio v3.0 launch. The Start New Process API programmatically initiates process instances and can trigger an instance in one environment from another. No scheduled execution, webhook listener, event subscription or inbound queue mechanism was documented. docs.autonom8.com flow api-keys, autonom8.com platform pages 2026-08-31	Partial
Model Flexibility & RoutingA8Studio v3.0 is documented as powered by generative AI built on Google Cloud Vertex AI, and an earlier release integrated the OpenAI Codex model for code generation from natural language. Both are vendor-selected providers described as platform architecture. No model selection, bring-your-own-key, provider routing, fallback configuration or open-model option was documented anywhere. autonom8.com A8Studio v3.0 launch and platform pages 2026-08-31	Unable to verify
APIs, SDKs & MCP ExtensibilityThe documentation carries an API Keys section under Security covering three documented APIs: a Deployment API that pushes A8Studio applications into the A8Flow runtime, an Export Application API called as a GET with an authentication key in the request headers returning JSON of all application changes in a period with documented query parameters, and a Start New Process API that initiates process instances and can trigger an instance in one environment from another. A8Studio also supports custom JavaScript against custom-built SDKs and generates services, client and server functions and adapters. docs.autonom8.com/flow/api-keys 2026-08-31	Full
Testing, Debugging & OptimizationA8Studio is documented as providing a feedback loop where insights from A8iQ on how activated flows and conversations are performing are fed back to continuously evolve and refine workflows, described as an explicit optimisation cycle rather than a silo. No pre-production test harness, fixture or dataset testing, regression detection, version comparison or scoring surface was documented. autonom8.com agentic-workflows and a8iq 2026-08-31	Partial
Browser & Computer UseNo browser control, screen scraping, GUI automation, RPA-style interaction or computer use capability was documented anywhere. A8Studio is browser-based as an authoring environment and A8Flow deploys client-server applications, neither of which is an agent driving software without an API. Integration across systems is explicitly achieved through generated adapters and services rather than interface operation. docs.autonom8.com studio, autonom8.com a8flow and agentic-workflows 2026-08-31	Unable to verify

Pricing

Not published · free signup, then contact sales

custom

Free tierTrial available

Included quota

Not published. Self-serve signup grants a default username and a personal organisation with the ability to invite team members and create further organisations; no quota, seat limit or run limit was documented.

What is public

Almost nothing. Autonom8 publishes no pricing page. The one public commercial fact is that A8Studio has a free self-serve signup at studio.autonom8 which creates a default username and personal organisation and allows inviting team members. Everything beyond that resolves to contact and demo routes.

Billing mechanics

Not published. No pricing page, no tier table and no published unit of consumption were retrieved. A free self-serve signup exists at studio.autonom8, which creates a personal organisation, but no upgrade path or paid tier is documented.

Cost watchouts

Nothing is published, so all cost is scoped in conversation. The v3.0 launch claims a 75% reduction in total cost of ownership, which is a vendor efficiency claim rather than a price. Watch two things specifically: the platform spans four modules (A8Studio, A8Flow, A8Chat, A8iQ, plus A8Solo) and it is not published whether these are licensed together or separately, and the acquisition by Uniphore may move packaging and pricing into the Business AI Cloud.

Variable cost rationale

Cannot be assessed. No unit of consumption is published, so it is unknown whether cost scales with workflow instances, conversations, seats, environments or modules. The platform runs long-running process instances and a conversational channel, both of which typically carry consumption components, but that is inference rather than evidence.

Additional watchouts

The record's pricing picture is likely to go stale quickly given the pending acquisition. Anyone evaluating should confirm whether they are buying Autonom8 or a Uniphore Business AI Cloud entitlement, since the two are converging.

Commercial notes

Enterprise low-code platform sold into banking and customer operations use cases such as loan approvals, account opening and customer service. Founded 2017, Saratoga California with engineering in Chennai. Google Cloud partner with generative capability built on Vertex AI. Uniphore announced intent to acquire on 28 August 2025, so commercial packaging is likely to change as the product folds into the Business AI Cloud. A community forum at community.autonom8.com carries support discussion.

Key ambiguities

Whether the free self-serve tier is a genuine free plan or an unmetered evaluation sandbox is not stated anywhere retrieved. Module packaging is also unknown: A8Studio, A8Flow, A8Chat, A8iQ and A8Solo are described as separate products that combine, but no licensing relationship between them is published. The billing axis recorded as custom is an inference from the enterprise motion, not a vendor statement.

Cancellation / refund

Not published. Enterprise terms are scoped through a contact route. A self-serve account can be created at studio.autonom8 without a published commitment.

Support SLA / resale

Not published. A community forum at community.autonom8.com covers questions, bug reports and feature requests across A8Studio, A8Flow, A8Solo and A8Chat. No SLA tiers or paid support levels were retrieved. Google Cloud partner.

Missing data

Entry price, tiering, unit of consumption, seat model, whether the modules are licensed separately, and any published contract terms. Only the free signup route is public.
