Autodidacts Uniting for Truth & Opportunity
AUTO is a movement to make learning flexible, exciting, and free—where curiosity drives learning, experts share in real time, and every path leads to recognition. Built by the people, for the people.
My name is Daniel Postle. I’ve spent the last twenty years searching for where I belong. What career I should have chosen, what school I should have gone to, what path would have “fit.” With ADHD, addiction, and life pulling me in different directions, I never found that place. Now it’s 2025. I’m turning 40. And yeah, I’m scared — not just for myself or my family, but for all of us. Because I see something broken: the way we think about knowledge. Knowledge today is free. You can learn French on your phone. You can master sewing, coding, cooking, or marketing with nothing but YouTube and Google. So why doesn’t everyone know multiple languages? Why can’t most people even fix a hole in a sock? The answer isn’t access. It’s that our learning systems are outdated, rigid, and uninspiring. Schools and colleges lock people into structures that don’t fit how curiosity really works. You’re forced into programs, semesters, and classrooms that smother enjoyment, purpose, and curiosity. But here’s the truth: people aren’t lazy. They’re uninspired. After an eight-hour shift, nobody wants another obligation. Learning should feel like discovery, not a chore. That’s why I built AUTO. What is AUTO? AUTO — Autodidacts Uniting for Truth and Opportunity — is a global movement to make learning flexible, exciting, and free. We’re not another institution. We’re not a “course platform.” We’re something new: a system built for today’s society, where curiosity drives learning and technology clears the path. AUTO rests on four pillars: 1. LIVE Learning Instead of classrooms, vetted experts — AUTO Scholars — go live. Just like your favorite TikTok creator, you get a notification when your favorite physician, business leader, or artist starts a session. You choose whether to jump in. No rigid schedules. No forced attendance. Pure curiosity-driven discovery. 2. AI-Guided Onboarding When you join AUTO, you don’t get dropped into a sea of random content. You meet our AI agent, who helps you explore your interests. Think of it as a grown-up version of the classic question: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Your answers shape a personal path — pointing you to live sessions, archive materials, and resources tailored to you. 3. Knowledge Archive AUTO isn’t just about moments that vanish when the stream ends. Every session feeds into a growing archive of literature, transcripts, and guides. Searchable, organized, and accessible — a living library you can return to anytime. 4. Path Determinance This is where AUTO breaks the mold. With Path Determinance, every learner has a destination. AUTO connects you directly to independent exams and certifications you can sit for — no degree program, no gatekeeping. Learn with AUTO, test independently, and when you pass, you walk away with proof of your knowledge: a certificate, a credential, a milestone. Path Determinance means every path leads somewhere real. Why AUTO? Because the world doesn’t need another institution. It doesn’t need more gatekeeping. It needs a movement. A movement where: Knowledge flows in real time — not locked in classrooms. Experts gain visibility — lifted up by curiosity, not bureaucracy. People rediscover curiosity — learning not because they have to, but because they want to. Every path leads to recognition, opportunity, and proof. AUTO is not a school. It’s not a program. It’s not just another app. It’s a living, breathing network of people who believe knowledge belongs to everyone — and that learning in the 21st century should be exciting, flexible, and free.
