Build the Logic.
We Run the Platform.

Kognitos is the developer platform for business AI, turning plain English into reliable automation. Write your rules, run them with certainty, and ship more business value, without owning the platform underneath them.

With AI: you write the logic, in English. Kognitos runs the platform underneath it.

The walkthrough

Hit an ExceptionKeep Moving

Most automation fails when it encounters the unexpected. A Kognitos run stops and holds progress. The business expert answers in plain English, the run resumes, and the answer is saved for next time.

01 / RUN

The invoice arrives.

Read it. Match it. Check the rules.

The Foundation

The rest of the stack,run for you.

Every AI agent needs nine essentials: authoring, execution, orchestration, connectors, exception handling, permissions, audit, context, and evaluations. They sit on the guarantees SaaS used to carry: security, compliance, reliability, scale, and monitoring. Kognitos runs all of it as a managed platform, so you only write business logic.

AI made your logic cheap to build. It didn’t make the platform cheap to own. Build the part that’s yours, and buy the guarantees SaaS used to carry.

The head start

Start ahead.Make it yours.

New automation often starts with weeks of setup before impacting business. Kognitos provides complete blueprints: an AP clerk with connectors, permissions, escalation, and tests ready. You fork one, edit the English to fit your business, and run it.

The execution

English inAction Out

An agent asks a model what to do next, varying each run. Kognitos uses AI for judgment tasks, like reading documents, and deterministic rules for decisions. The firing rule is recorded, allowing exact replay of any run.

SECURE BY DESIGN

A locked-down runtime.
A time machine for your audit.

Our secure English interpreter limits what can run and lets you replay how each decision was made.

USE AI WHERE IT ADDS VALUE

Fewer model calls.
More actual work.

AI for understanding. Rules for execution.

The economics

The cost is a team.Not a build.

Coding agents make the first version fast. What stays expensive is everything after it: the on-call rotation, the audits, the upgrades, and the connectors that break when another vendor changes an API. That’s a standing team, for as long as your logic runs.

8engineers: the minimum on-call rotation for a single-site team, per Google’s Site Reliability Engineering. That only staffs the pager.
