Overview

What is Cogna?

Cogna is an enterprise AI platform focused on helping organizations in physical and critical industries turn complex operational workflows into AI-native software. It is designed for industries such as utilities, energy, infrastructure, telecoms, field services, and facilities management. Cogna captures an organization's operational knowledge, decision rules, processes, and constraints and uses that context to build tailored AI applications and agent workflows. Its platform combines AI-native applications, the Lattice knowledge layer, integrations, and governance controls to automate high-value operational work while connecting with existing business systems rather than requiring a complete system replacement. Cogna states that organizations can move from a real workflow to a working application in weeks and deploy through managed services or their own environment.
