+# OpenVINO™ AUTO Plugin
+
+The main responsibility of the AUTO plugin is to provide a unified device that enables developers to code deep learning applications once and deploy them anywhere. 
+
+Other capabilities of the AUTO plugin include:
+* Static device selection, which intelligently loads a network to one device or multiple devices.
+* CPU acceleration to start inferencing while the target device is still loading the network.
+* Model priority support for loading multiple networks to multiple devices.
+
+The component is written in `C++`. If you want to contribute to the AUTO plugin, follow [the common coding style rules](../../../docs/dev/coding_style.md).
+
+## Key contacts
+
+In case of any questions, review and merge requests, contact the [AUTO Plugin maintainer group](https://github.com/orgs/openvinotoolkit/teams/openvino-ie-auto-multi-maintainers).
+
+## Components
+
+The AUTO plugin follows the OpenVINO™ plugin architecture and consists of several main components:
+ * [docs](./docs) contains developer documentation for the AUTO plugin.
+ * [current](./) folder contains sources of the AUTO plugin.
+
+Learn more in the [OpenVINO™ Plugin Developer Guide](https://docs.openvino.ai/latest/openvino_docs_ie_plugin_dg_overview.html).
+
+## Architecture
+The diagram below shows an overview of the components responsible for the basic inference flow:

+        AUTO["AUTO Plugin"] --> GPU["GPU Plugin"]

+Find more details in the [AUTO Plugin architecture](./docs/architecture.md) document.
