3Intelligent Agent Deployment

The Auno platform utilises specialised intelligent agents to automate distinct business functions. Each agent operates within a defined domain and executes tasks based on the parameters established during configuration.

Legal Agent

Regulatory and Compliance

Manages CIPC registration, generates memoranda of incorporation, shareholder agreements, employment contracts, and ensures ongoing regulatory compliance.

Finance Agent

Financial Infrastructure

Facilitates business banking applications, payment gateway integration, invoicing systems, and connections to accounting software platforms.

Marketing Agent

Brand and Communications

Develops brand identity assets, marketing strategies, content calendars, and manages social media presence across relevant platforms.

Technology Agent

Digital Infrastructure

Constructs websites and web applications, configures domain and hosting services, establishes business email, and implements security protocols.

Architecture Note

All intelligent agents operate on a unified data layer, ensuring consistency across business functions. Agent outputs are stored in your secure workspace and can be exported in standard formats (PDF, DOCX, JSON) at any time. The platform maintains full audit trails for compliance purposes.

4Business Activation

Upon completion of the configuration process, the platform initiates automated workflows to establish your business entity. Progress can be monitored through the dashboard interface.
