Most AI finds answers. Cognesce understands your company.
It maps who owns what, who decided what, and why, then acts across your tools and checks its own work.
One brain for your whole company. Every team, every tool, every document it runs on.

We onboard the first 25 companies by fit, not speed. Read-only until you say otherwise.
Works with the tools your company already runs on
Employees lose nearly a full day every week just hunting for information and tracking down the right person to ask. Across every team, every week, that is the most expensive bottleneck in your company. Cognesce removes it.

The work that stalls between teams, done.
You
The Northwind renewal is slipping. Find out why and get it back on track.
It's 6pm and the one person who knows billing is on a flight. Instead of waiting until tomorrow, you ask Cognesce. It answers, handles the follow-up across your tools, and checks every move against your real systems.
Knows your company. Acts on it. Proves every move.
Plenty of tools find your files. The question is which one understands your company and can be trusted to act on it. Cognesce is built around two things most tools treat separately.
| Category | Finds your files | Knows who & why, not just where | Acts across your tools | Checks its work, undoes mistakes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Enterprise search e.g. Glean, Guru | Yes | Partial | Partial | No |
AI agents & answer engines e.g. Dust, Perplexity | Yes | No | Yes | No |
Cognesce | Yes | Yes | Yes | Built in |
Most tools either find things, or act and hope it worked. Cognesce brings both together, the why and the proof, which is the difference between an AI you have to supervise and one you can trust.
Speed, without breaking things.
Moving fast is worthless if it breaks things. So Cognesce starts read-only and earns every bit of autonomy. You decide what it is ever allowed to do. When it acts:
Approval
Anything irreversible waits for a human. Nothing leaves Cognesce without your say-so.
Verification
Every result is independently checked against the real system, not assumed.
Rollback
Anything that fails verification is undone automatically.
Audit log
Every action, who approved it, and the outcome is written down for you to review.
Earned autonomy
It only graduates to acting on its own after a track record of clean, reversible runs you can see. You can keep it advisory-only forever.
The difference between an AI that talks and one you can trust to do, is proof.
It knows the why, not just the where.
Other tools find you a document. Cognesce builds a permission-aware map of your company: who owns what, who decided what, why, and what has changed since. Not just where a file lives, but the people, ownership, and decisions behind it.
Ask who owns billing and you get a name and the history, in seconds. A new hire reads the map instead of interrupting five people. And it only ever shows someone what they are already allowed to see.
Who owns billing?
Priya, Payments lead, since January.
Four jobs. One brain. Powered by memory.
Search tools find files. Chatbots answer questions. Other agents take actions, and get shut down for it. Cognesce does all of it on one memory of your whole company, so “it's buried in a thread somewhere” becomes an answer, and an answer becomes work that is actually done.
Ends the 'who do I ask?'
Ask who owns billing, or who to talk to about the auth migration, and get a name in seconds, not a thread that sits unanswered for two days. Work routes to the right person automatically, so nothing waits on the one human who happens to know.
Remembers every 'why'
Every decision, and the reason behind it, stays on the record. Nobody redoes work that was already settled, and the 'why' is still there even after the person who made the call has moved on.
Gets faster the more you use it
The answers that help stick, the dead ends drop. The brain your team relies on in month three is sharper and faster than the one you started with, so your operational speed keeps compounding.
Does the work, with proof
When you let it, it does the real work across your tools end to end, verifies the outcome, and rolls back anything that fails, with a human approving anything irreversible. The follow-ups stop falling through the cracks.
Three steps. Then it keeps getting better.
Connect your tools
Point Cognesce at where your team already works. It starts mapping your company the moment it's plugged in. No migration, no rip-and-replace.
It remembers, and learns
People, roles, ownership, decisions, and the reasoning behind them become one living memory. Every signal about what helped makes the next answer better.
Ask it, or let it act
Your team gets instant answers. Your projects get an operator that moves them forward across your tools, routing tasks and closing loops, approved and reversible.
Built for the questions your security team will ask.
Respects your existing permissions
People and agents only ever see what they are already allowed to see. The intern never sees what the intern can't.
We never train on your data
Your knowledge is yours. It is isolated per tenant and never used to train shared models.
Approval and rollback
Nothing irreversible happens without a person approving it, and anything that fails verification is rolled back automatically.
Verified, and logged
Every action is checked by an independent verification and written to an audit log you can review.
SSO and access control
Single sign-on, role-based access, and per-tenant isolation, so the brain fits the controls you already run.

Run it in our cloud, your own VPC, or self-hosted. SOC 2 is underway. Ask us for the full security overview.
What actually changes day to day?+
Questions that used to sit unanswered for two days get answered in seconds. Work routes to the right owner instead of bouncing around. Projects stop stalling when someone is out, because the context isn't trapped in their head. New hires ramp in days, not months. The net effect is simple: less waiting, fewer dropped balls, faster delivery, and lower cost, because the friction between your teams is gone.
How is this different from enterprise search or an AI agent?+
Search tools find you a document. AI agents take an action and report 'done.' Cognesce does two things neither of them does. It understands the why behind your company, who decided what and what has changed since, not just where a file lives. And when it acts, a separate check confirms it actually worked against your real systems and undoes it if it didn't. You get understanding instead of just answers, and work you don't have to double-check.
Isn't letting an AI take actions exactly what's getting projects canceled?+
That is the point. Most agents act first and explain later, which is why they get shut down. Cognesce inverts it: read-only by default, human approval for anything irreversible, every action independently verified, failures rolled back, everything logged. It earns autonomy only after a clean track record you can see.
How do you stop it leaking sensitive things across roles?+
Cognesce respects your existing tool permissions and uses role-based access. People and agents only see what they are already allowed to see. Your data is isolated per tenant and never used to train shared models.
What if we want to leave?+
Your data is yours and exportable. Cognesce sits on top of the tools you already own, so you are never locked in, and you can take the brain with you.
What happens after I join the waitlist?+
We review every request by hand and prioritize the companies that are the best fit. We open access in waves, starting read-only, so you can see exactly what Cognesce does before it ever acts. If there's a fit, we'll reach out with next steps.
The fastest version of your company is one connected brain away.
Founding access is rolling out to a small group of teams. We review every request by hand and onboard read-only first.
