I will give an introduction to asymptotically safe quantum gravity. After explaining the basic idea, I will review the current status of the model. In the second part, I will focus on the potential for the asymptotic safety paradigm to provide a joint model of quantum gravity and matter, and "retrodict" some of the free parameters of the Standard Model of particle physics, such as, e.g., the values of the fine-structure constant and the masses of the heavy quarks.
