Kognitos achieves Leader rankings across all evaluated categories, highlighting strength in customer and product experience.
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 24, 2026Kognitos, the pioneer of neurosymbolic AI for business automation, today announced it has been recognized as an Exemplary Provider in the 2026 ISG Buyers Guide™ for Automation and Orchestration Emerging Providers, published by ISG Research. In an evaluation of emerging providers, Kognitos was one of only three vendors to achieve this designation and was named a Leader across all evaluated categories, including Overall, Platform, Product Experience, Capability and Customer Experience.
The recognition comes as enterprises look beyond traditional automation approaches that are often brittle, complex to maintain and heavily reliant on technical resources. Kognitos is helping redefine this category around automation that business users can build, operate and trust, using a model built on plain English that enables teams to design, operate and evolve workflows without writing code.

“Most companies are discovering that scaling AI is far harder than experimenting with it. They’re dealing with brittle automations, unpredictable outputs and systems that are difficult to maintain or govern. What we’re doing with Kognitos is fundamentally different. By enabling automation in plain English and grounding it in deterministic logic, we give businesses something they can actually trust and operate at scale. This recognition from ISG Research reflects that shift from experimentation to real, production-ready automation.”
