WHO WE ARE
We're sophomore students at the University of Pennsylvania — on a mission to modernize local business across America, one website at a time.
Automaton was built by university students who refused to accept the status quo. Across the United States, thousands of the best local businesses — the most skilled plumbers, electricians, and HVAC techs — are invisible online. We're modernizing that. Three roommates, one mission: a custom website for every great local business in America, built in 24 hours, at a price that actually makes sense.
