⚠ Read Before You Buy
https://automac-it.pages.dev
Read the product guide three times before purchasing. Not because it's complicated — because it's powerful and you should know exactly what you're getting:
- What Automac IT does (and does not do)
- VS Code setup and GitHub Copilot sign-in
- The three AI modes and when to use each one
- Privacy and safety architecture
- What the license costs and what it includes
Do not purchase until you have read that page. The checkout link is on the site when you're ready.

3 AI Modes
- Action Mode — AI investigates and fixes problems automatically. Safe tools run without prompting; destructive actions require your explicit approval.
- Guided Mode — AI walks you through every step before acting. Great for learning.
- Chat-Only Mode — AI gives advice but never touches your system.
Dual AI Provider
- GitHub Copilot — zero setup if you already have a Copilot subscription.
- Anthropic API — bring your own API key for direct Claude access.
Real-time Process Intelligence
- Live process tree with CPU, memory, and handle counts
- Anomaly detection (zombie processes, runaway consumers)
- Suspend / Resume / Kill with undo window
- Alert system with configurable thresholds
Privacy First
- PII scrubber strips usernames, IPs, MACs, emails, and secrets before sending data to AI
- All processing stays local — no telemetry by default
- Crash reporting is opt-in and anonymous

Disclaimer
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Automac IT modifies system settings, terminates processes, removes startup items, deletes temporary files, and executes PowerShell commands on your computer. While safety guardrails exist (protected process lists, confirmation gates, blocked command patterns), no software can guarantee zero risk to your system.
By using Automac IT, you acknowledge:
- You are responsible for approving every destructive action. The yellow confirmation banner exists for a reason — read it before clicking "Allow."
- AI can make mistakes. The AI may misidentify a process, suggest removing something important, or misdiagnose a problem. Always verify suggestions before acting.
- System changes may be irreversible. Killing a process, uninstalling a program, or modifying startup items can cause data loss or system instability.
- No warranty. The software is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. Beautiful Planet is not liable for any damage, data loss, or system failure resulting from use of this software.
- Back up your data. Before using destructive tools, ensure you have current backups.
