Discover how Kognitos makes automation simple and reliable.

What is Kognitos?

Kognitos is an automation platform for building, running, and maintaining business processes. Instead of writing code or configuring complex workflows, you describe what the workflow should do in plain English, and Kognitos turns that description into a deterministic, executable automation.

Who Can Use Kognitos?

Kognitos is designed for anyone who needs to automate work, whether you're a business analyst streamlining invoice approvals, an operations manager coordinating data across systems, or a developer eliminating repetitive tasks.

How Does Kognitos Work?

With Kognitos, you describe automation tasks in natural language (plain English). Kognitos understands business logic without special syntax or commands and turns it into an executable workflow. Here's how that process works:

1

Describe Your Task

Write out your business logic as a sequence of instructions. For example:

chevron-rightInvoice Processinghashtag

When a new invoice is received, extract the invoice number, amount, and due date. Check whether the vendor exists in the system. If the vendor exists and the amount is less than $10,000, create the invoice record and mark it as approved.

chevron-rightEmployee Onboardinghashtag

When a new employee is added to the onboarding list, create accounts in the required systems and assign them to the correct department and role.

chevron-rightUpdating Spreadsheet Datahashtag

Every weekday morning, check the spreadsheet for new rows. For each new row, validate the data and create a corresponding record in the system. After processing, mark the row as completed.

2

Clarifying Through Conversation

Kognitos interprets your instructions to transform them into an executable automation that can run from start to finish. If something is unclear or missing, Kognitos asks questions and refines your instructions until it has everything it needs to build the automation correctly.

3

Building the Workflow

Once Kognitos understands your task, it creates a structured, step-by-step workflow. This is a deterministic process that executes the same way every time.

4

Run, Review, & Refine

Execute your automation, review the results, and adjust instructions as your process evolves. Kognitos makes it easy to handle exceptions and update workflows without starting over.

What Makes Kognitos Different?

Kognitos is not a chat assistant or a suggestion tool. It combines conversation with real-world execution, so you don’t just get suggestions — you get workflows that actually get work done.

chevron-rightKognitos vs. AI Assistantshashtag

AI assistants generate suggestions, summaries, or responses based on your prompts. Kognitos goes a step further by turning plain English instructions into executable workflows that perform real actions, track progress, and produce predictable, repeatable results.

chevron-rightKognitos vs. Low-Code / No-Code Platformshashtag

Most low-code platforms require drag-and-drop builders and preconfigured templates. Kognitos skips the visual configuration entirely. Just describe your workflow in plain English, and it builds the automation for you.

chevron-rightKognitos vs. RPA (Robotic Process Automation)hashtag

Traditional RPA automates by scripting UI clicks, which breaks when interfaces change. Kognitos executes workflows using business logic, not screen scraping, making automations more reliable and easier to maintain.

chevron-rightKognitos vs. Custom Scriptshashtag

Writing custom scripts gives you full control but requires development time, testing, and ongoing maintenance. Kognitos delivers the same reliability without code. Update workflows by editing instructions, not debugging scripts.
