About us

Testing Reinvented

Autify is an AI-powered software testing platform that enables teams to automate their applications with ease. It simplifies the testing process by allowing users to create, execute and manage tests by partnering with AI.

Mission

Enhance people's creativity through technology

Some people think AI will take jobs away from people. We disagree. Our mission is to provide the technology that allows us, humans, to focus on creative work that only we can do. By delegating unproductive work to AI (machines), we can increase society's productivity as a whole.
