  The Asymptotic Safety Hypothesis for gravity relies on the existence of an
interacting fixed point of the Wilsonian renormalization group flow, which
controls the microscopic dynamics, and provides a UV completion of the theory.
Connecting such UV completion to observable physics has become an active area
of research in the last decades. In this work we show such connection within
the framework of scalar-tensor models. More specifically, we found that
cosmological inflation naturally emerges from the integration of the RG flow
equations, and that the predicted parameters of the emergent effective
potentials provide a slow-roll model of inflation compatible with current
observations. Furthermore, the RG evolution of the effective action starting at
the UV fixed point, provides a prediction for the initial value of the inflaton
field.
