Kognitos: English-Language AI Process Automation

Kognitos is AI process automation platform programmable directly in plain English. Traditional RPA breaks when documents vary, edge cases proliferate, or processes change. Kognitos's pitch is plain-English automation — business users write what they want in natural language, the AI compiles to executable workflow, and exceptions are handled by clarifying-question loops rather than ticket queues to engineering.
