Company mission

To transform how we understand and solve challenges across industries that impact our daily lives.

Our take

Cogna is leveraging AI to build "hyper-customised" enterprise-grade software. By employing Large Language Model (LLM) techniques, it enables clients to define their software requirements more accurately and comprehensively, so that it can build exactly what they need.

Essentially, Cogna is building software that builds software. Its platform can read and understand relevant data, then transform it into a unified domain model that can be used by humans and machines to build and maintain reliable, end-to-end software.

Its certainly an interesting proposition, though the company will have to compete with more classical software consultancies if it is to succeed. That said, Cogna claims to be both faster and cheaper than its alternatives and already has a number of big name customers, like Ocado, Tropicana, and Network Plus, giving it an appealing edge as it begins its journey.
