Kognitos vs Power Automate
Power Automate connects cloud apps. Kognitos automates complex business processes. See why mission-critical automation needs more than trigger-action flows.
Neurosymbolic AI automation
vs. Microsoft cloud-flow builder.
| Dimension | Kognitos | Power Automate |
|---|---|---|
| Approach | English as Code — natural language | Trigger-action cloud flows; visual scripting |
| Target User | Business users (no developers needed) | Citizen developers; IT for complex flows |
| AI Architecture | Neurosymbolic AI: deterministic + learning | Rule-based flows; Copilot AI add-on (probabilistic) |
| Knowledge Capture | ✓ Living SOPs — tribal knowledge captured and refined | ✗ None — logic embedded in flow definitions |
| Hallucination Risk | ✓ Zero — neurosymbolic, process-oriented | ~ Copilot features are probabilistic; core flows are deterministic but rigid |
| Self-Healing | ✓ Auto-adapts; learns from human guidance | ✗ Fails on unexpected inputs; manual retry/fix |
| Governance | ✓ Built-in audit trail, explainability, regression testing | ~ Environment-level controls; limited audit depth |
| Ecosystem | 130+ enterprise connectors (SAP, Oracle, Workday, etc.) | Microsoft-first; premium connectors for non-MS systems |
| Time to Value | Days (minutes with pre-built workflows) | Hours for simple flows; weeks for complex processes |
| Best For | Complex back-office automation at scale | Simple Microsoft 365 workflows and notifications |
Why enterprises outgrow
Power Automate.
Beyond Trigger-Action Flows
Power Automate excels at “when X happens, do Y” patterns within Microsoft 365. But real enterprise processes involve exceptions, multi-step approvals, document understanding, and cross-system orchestration. Kognitos handles all of this natively — described in plain English by the people who own the process.
AI-Native, Not AI-Bolted
Power Automate recently added Copilot features, but AI is an add-on layer to a fundamentally rule-based engine. Kognitos was built on neurosymbolic AI from day one — the architecture guarantees zero hallucination while delivering genuine AI reasoning, self-healing, and continuous learning.
True Multi-System Automation
Power Automate is optimized for the Microsoft ecosystem. Connecting to SAP, Oracle, or legacy systems requires premium connectors and often custom code. Kognitos connects natively to 130+ enterprise systems — configurable in plain English, without middleware or custom development.
Self-Healing Resilience
When a Power Automate flow fails on unexpected input, it stops and waits for manual intervention. Kognitos pauses, asks for guidance in plain English, encodes the fix permanently, and auto-resolves the same exception next time. This is why enterprises report 12× lower maintenance costs.
