Driving the Future
of Industrial Automation
Our Mission & Drive
At Agtonomy, we believe that real-world automation should be intuitive, trusted, and transformative. That’s why we embed advanced intelligence into the world’s most trusted industrial equipment, turning everyday machines into powerful tools that deliver precision, safety, and efficiency in the toughest environments.
Powered by field-proven physical AI, our technology is built to perform where it matters most. Whether in agriculture, turf, or beyond, we enable automation that is accessible, reliable, and ready for the real world.
We’re here to support the people who keep the world running, helping operators do more with less through practical solutions that boost productivity, sustainability, and progress across the industries that feed, build, and sustain the world.
Where We Operate
Agtonomy operates across the western United States and is expanding internally in 2025. We work closely with growers in key Agricultural regions to deliver real-world solutions.
Founded
Founded in 2021 by a team of growers and technology experts, Agtonomy set out to bring practical automation to agriculture. Rooted in real-world experience and growing to serve a broader range of off-road industries, we’re building intelligent solutions that meet operators where they are.
Meet the Team
Agtonomy’s team is a powerhouse of innovators, engineers, and field experts united by a bold vision: to make automation a trusted partner in the industries that feed, build, and sustain the world.
With deep roots in agriculture and expertise in AI, robotics, and real-world operations, we don’t just build technology—we build practical solutions that perform where it matters most. From tackling labor shortages to rising operational costs, our team is driven to solve real challenges with intelligence, precision, and purpose.
We’re not here to replace people, we’re here to empower them with tools that make work safer, smarter, and more sustainable.
I grew up on a farm, where I learned early that no two days are the same and that real progress comes from hard work, smart decisions, and the ability to adapt. Those lessons have stayed with me throughout my life and shaped my journey at the intersection of agriculture and technology.
Over the years, I’ve seen how challenges like labor shortages, rising costs, and sustainability demands have made it harder for people to do the work they love. That’s why I started Agtonomy: to build technology that makes a real difference for those on the ground.
Our mission is simple. We create automation that empowers, not replaces. Our solutions are designed to fit naturally into existing workflows, making it easier to get more done with fewer resources while preserving the human expertise that defines great work.
I’ve had the privilege of assembling a team that shares this vision. We come from the fields, the labs, and everywhere in between, united by a deep respect for the people who feed, build, and sustain the world. Together, we’re building tools that help them meet today’s challenges and take charge of tomorrow.
