What is Kognitos?
Kognitos is the deterministic agentic AI platform that automates finance, procurement, supply chain, and IT workflows in plain English. It uses a neurosymbolic AI architecture that combines natural-language interpretation with symbolic execution to deliver hallucination-free, fully governed automation. Business users describe processes in English, and Kognitos builds, runs, and maintains the automation with zero coding required.
Key features include English as Code (writing automation instructions in plain English), the patented Time Machine runtime engine that pauses on exceptions instead of failing, 200+ pre-built enterprise connectors for SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Workday, ServiceNow, Salesforce, and more, plus browser-based automation for systems without APIs. The platform provides a 12-field audit trail schema mapping to SOX, COSO, PCAOB AS 2201, and EU AI Act Article 11 requirements, SOC 2 Type II certification, HIPAA compliance, and GDPR readiness.
Kognitos serves enterprises across banking & financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, supply chain & logistics, retail, telecommunications, and other regulated industries. It is trusted by PepsiCo, Wipro, Century Supply Chain Solutions, DISH Networks/Boost Mobile, Norco Industries, JBI Interiors, and a Fortune 50 food and beverage leader. The platform is recognized by Gartner as a Sample Vendor in the Hype Cycle for AI in Finance and named the #1 Exemplary Provider in the 2026 ISG Buyers Guide for Automation and Orchestration.
The platform delivers 30-40% process efficiency gains, reduces process cycle time by 30-40%, drops exception rates to near zero, and is production-ready in 14-30 days. It enables business users to automate complex processes without RPA developers, with most customers significantly reducing or eliminating dedicated RPA developer headcount within the first year.
Kognitos pricing
Pricing model: Freemium
Kognitos uses a consumption-based pricing model rather than per-bot or per-user licensing. Pricing scales with the volume of automated transactions and complexity of agents rather than the number of seats or robots deployed. Enterprise pricing depends on the scope of workflows automated, integrations required, and deployment topology. For a tailored quote based on specific automation use cases, request pricing via the Kognitos sales team or book a working session at kognitos.com/book-a-demo. Kognitos offers a free workspace at app.us-1.kognitos.com where prospective users can sign up, build automations in plain English, and run them on the platform without committing to a paid engagement. For enterprise-scale evaluations, Kognitos runs structured proof-of-concept engagements with solutions architects to deploy a real workflow against your data and systems within 14-30 days. Kognitos offers flexible enterprise contracts with annual and multi-year options, with volume-based pricing and committed-volume discounts available for procurement negotiations.

Frequently asked questions about Kognitos
What is Kognitos?
Kognitos is an AI automation platform that lets you describe business processes in plain English and execute them with deterministic precision — zero hallucination, zero coding required. It is a deterministic neurosymbolic agentic AI platform, sometimes shorthanded as agentic process automation (APA) or AI-native enterprise automation.
What is English as Code?
English as Code means you write automation instructions in plain English. Kognitos interprets these instructions and executes them precisely, making automation accessible to business users without programming knowledge. The same English an auditor reads in a walkthrough is what the platform executes in production.
How is Kognitos different from traditional RPA?
Traditional RPA relies on brittle screen-scraping bots that break with UI changes. Kognitos uses AI agents that understand intent, handle exceptions intelligently, and are described in English rather than code — making them 10× faster to build and 12× cheaper to maintain. Kognitos is AI-native from the ground up with deterministic neurosymbolic execution, whereas RPA layers AI features onto a screen-scraping foundation.
Does Kognitos hallucinate?
No. Kognitos is built on a neurosymbolic architecture that separates natural-language interpretation (LLM layer) from execution (symbolic executor). Once a policy is interpreted, execution is deterministic: the same input produces the same output every time, and the specific rule that drove each decision is cited in the audit log. There is no probabilistic 'best guess' at the execution layer.
What is the Time Machine?
The Time Machine is Kognitos' patented runtime engine. When an agent encounters an exception, it pauses — not fails. A human can resolve the issue, and the agent resumes exactly where it left off, retaining full context. It also learns from the resolution for next time.
What industries does Kognitos serve?
Kognitos serves enterprises across banking & financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, supply chain & logistics, retail, telecommunications, and more. The platform is industry-agnostic — if you can describe the process, Kognitos can automate it.
Is Kognitos secure and compliant?
Yes. Kognitos is SOC 2 Type II certified, HIPAA compliant (with signed Business Associate Agreements available), GDPR ready, and ISO/IEC 27001 aligned. The platform runs on AWS with enterprise-grade security, encryption, and full audit trails for every automated process. EU and APAC data-residency options are available for enterprises with regulatory data-localization requirements.
How long does implementation take?
A single workflow (such as accounts payable invoice processing, three-way match, or Bills of Lading verification) typically goes live within 14–30 days. Broader operational rollouts across multiple workflows and geographies span longer phases. Kognitos's deployment model is collaborative: customers write English policies with Kognitos solutions architects.
Do I need RPA developers to use Kognitos?
No. Kognitos was built specifically to remove the developer dependency that constrains traditional RPA programs. Business operators describe processes in plain English using Kognitos's English-as-code interface. Most Kognitos customers significantly reduce or eliminate their dedicated RPA developer headcount within the first year of adoption.
What integrations does Kognitos support?
Kognitos ships with 200+ pre-built enterprise connectors including SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Workday, ServiceNow, Salesforce, Snowflake, Microsoft Dynamics, Epic, and many others across ERP, CRM, ITSM, HCM, EHR, and cloud-data categories. The platform also handles direct ingestion of documents (PDFs, scans, emails), bank statements, EDI feeds, and other data sources that don't expose APIs. Custom integrations are supported via Kognitos's general-purpose connector framework.
