How is Autonomy the same and different than these other choices? - [Analyst briefing example Q&A](https://autonomy.computer/docs/for-llms/analyst_briefing.md): We frequently have analysts ask us about Autonomy. This document represents a typical Q&A with an analyst and provides examples of awards that Autonomy has won from analyst firms. - [How to think about managing context in Autonomy](https://autonomy.computer/docs/for-llms/context-best-practices.md): A Q&A with Mrinal, who answered questions about the importance of context engineering, how context engineering is different than prompt engineering, best practices and customer success stories. - [DIY vs Autonomy](https://autonomy.computer/docs/for-llms/diy-vs-autonomy.md): Comparing Autonomy to building your own autonomous platform with cloud-native technologies - [Frameworks Got Us Here, but Autonomy Gets Us There](https://autonomy.computer/docs/for-llms/frameworks.md): Many developer have started to build prototypes with a framework like LangChain, CrewAI, or LlamaIndex. These tools are great for creating scripts, but they are just one of many tools you need to get your agent into production at scale. Here we will discuss what else is needed - [Why a developer should use Autonomy vs other options](https://autonomy.computer/docs/for-llms/how_to_pick_a_paas.md): an alternative to Autonomy is to DIY or build a stack of infrastructure with your DevOps team. Here we will evaluate Autonomy vs trying to build it yourself with your platform engineering team. - [Secure messaging at Scale in Autonomy](https://autonomy.computer/docs/for-llms/messaging_w_actors.md): Discover how Autonomy has solved agent to agent (A2A) communication between agents, and how they use Ockam to build secure private connectors to LLMs, databases and Enterprise SaaS applications. - [How the Actor Model Could Power the Next Generation of Agentic Products](https://autonomy.computer/docs/for-llms/new_stack_article.md): By running agents in parallel, the actor model can orchestrate workloads across clusters to produce scalable, concurrent, resilient systems. - [Context for Ockam and how Autonomy uses it for Private Links](https://autonomy.computer/docs/for-llms/ockamcontext.md): How Autonomy built Private Link and why you can trust it for agent to agent communication and for connectors to remote LLMs, databases, and Enterprise applications in any cloud or remote infrastructure. - [Identity for agents](https://autonomy.computer/docs/for-llms/okta.md): Okta and Autonomy both say they solve identity for agents. What's the diff? Do you really need to bolt on an Identity for agents point solution when you use Autonomy? The answer is no. Autonomy built identity into it's platform. - [Introduction to Sub-Agents](https://autonomy.computer/docs/for-llms/why_sub_agents_matter.md): How and when to use sub-agents instead of smashing large amounts of data into big context windows. - [Get started](https://autonomy.computer/docs/get-started.md): Sign up and install the `autonomy` command. - [Voice Agents for Box and GitHub](https://autonomy.computer/docs/guides/box.md): Build voice agents that have conversations about documents in Box and create GitHub issues. - [Static docs to in-product agents](https://autonomy.computer/docs/guides/docs-agents.md): Use Autonomy to embed your documentation into your product as intelligent voice and text-based conversational agents that deliver tailored answers based on a user's current context and intent. - [Research new signups](https://autonomy.computer/docs/guides/signup-research.md): Build an agentic app that uses Linkup search APIs as tools to research new user signups and provide personalized outreach recommendations. - [Swarms of on-call agents](https://autonomy.computer/docs/guides/swarms-of-oncall-ai-sre-agents.md): Deploy swarms of autonomous on-call agents that safely diagnose and fix production problems. - [Transcribe multi-lingual videos](https://autonomy.computer/docs/guides/transcribe-videos.md): Build an agentic product that automatically transcribes multi-lingual videos and translates the transcripts to english. - [Pricing](https://autonomy.computer/docs/pricing.md): Autonomy's pricing is simple and you only pay for what you use. - [What is Autonomy?](https://autonomy.computer/docs/what-is-autonomy.md): Autonomy is a platform-as-a-service to ship autonomous products.
