Neurosymbolic automation platform that lets business users build back office process automations in plain English, executing them deterministically without hallucinations while keeping a fully auditable system of record.

Kognitos is an enterprise automation platform built on a simple idea its founder calls English as code. Rather than forcing business teams to hand their processes to developers, Kognitos lets people describe what they do in plain English and turns that description directly into running automation. It was founded in 2020 by Binny Gill, a former chief technology officer at Nutanix, and has raised more than fifty million dollars across Series A and Series B rounds led by Khosla Ventures and Prosperity7 Ventures, with customers including PepsiCo, Wipro, and Boost Mobile.

The platform is built on a neurosymbolic architecture, described as the industry's first, that pairs the reasoning of symbolic logic with the learning power of modern language models. The neural part understands human intent and translates it into instructions, while the symbolic part executes those instructions deterministically. The practical payoff is automation that runs the same way every time, without the bias or hallucinations that make general purpose language models risky for back office work where a wrong answer has real consequences.

Kognitos focuses on process oriented agents that follow prescribed steps rather than open ended goals, which is how real businesses actually run. It turns tribal and system knowledge into documented, automated processes and maintains them as a dynamic system of record with full auditability and explainability. A patented Process Refinement Engine learns from human interactions to keep those automations current as the business changes, and a built in regression test suite lets teams make changes with confidence.

Delivered bot free and in the cloud, Kognitos runs workflows across enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management, and other core systems, and uses browser automation to reach legacy applications that have no application programming interface. It ships hundreds of prebuilt workflows for finance, legal, human resources, and operations, plus built in document and Excel processing, and offers a free community edition so a business user can go from idea to automation in about five minutes.

Use cases & customers

In practice

Your finance team processes a huge variety of invoices, purchase orders, and contracts by hand, edge cases and all. In Kognitos they describe the process in plain English and it runs deterministically, flagging exceptions for a person to resolve.

A telecom operator spends thousands of staff hours a year on lease audits. Kognitos automates the process end to end, reads the documents, applies the validations, and cuts processing time by the vast majority.

An operations lead needs a new automation but has no coding skills and no developer to spare. They type the steps into Kognitos, test it with the built in regression suite, and deploy in minutes.

Score 8.5 (7F/3P/4N) [CORRECTED Jul 2026, was 6.5: Sec N->F, Int P->F, Dep N->P per verified kognitos.com/about-us + trust.kognitos.com evidence - prior record factually understated security, integrations, and residency].
