AI First Enterprise Transition with Enterprise Agentic Superintelligence

About DeepAuto.ai

DeepAuto is a research-driven AI startup founded in 2022 by Sung Ju Hwang — one of the world’s leading researchers in self-evolving, efficient AI systems — together with his team at KAIST.

Our mission is to build autonomous AI systems that train, adapt, and improve themselves with minimal human supervision.

Today, we are focused on realizing agentic superintelligence: systems that continuously evolve — updating their plans, context, knowledge, and even neural weights — as they tackle new challenges.

We help drive the AI-first transition of enterprises, research labs, and manufacturing environments by embedding evolving intelligence into their core workflows.

Mission

To transform knowledge work into autonomous workflows using agentic AI — systems that adapt, learn, and evolve with minimal human oversight.

Vision

We envision a new era of enterprise superintelligence: organizations powered by AI systems that continually evolve — updating their plans, context, knowledge, and even internal models — as they solve new challenges across business, research, and manufacturing domains.

Client Stories & Use Cases

Autonomous AI systems streamline fragmented and manual workflows by orchestrating intelligence across distributed data sources, enabling faster analyses, broader coverage, and more reliable decisions.
