Kognitos Neurosymbolic AI Automation Platform

Kognitos is a Mountain View, California company that automates back-office operations with what it calls neurosymbolic AI. It addresses the brittleness of traditional RPA and the unpredictability of pure generative AI by letting business users write process logic in plain English that the platform then executes deterministically.

A Symbolic Executor runs the English-as-code rules exactly as written, while a Context Graph links vendors, invoices and accounts to ground decisions in company data. A Builder Agent creates automations conversationally, the Guidance Center pulls in a human when a process deviates, and a patented Process Refinement Engine learns from those interventions. Every run is logged in a Business Journal and can be replayed. The platform handles documents, Excel files, emails and legacy applications through browser use, and serves customers such as PepsiCo, DISH and TTX.

• English as code: business rules written in plain English run as program logic.
• Symbolic Executor: deterministic engine that enforces rules exactly as written.
• Context Graph: links vendors, invoices and accounts to ground each decision.
• Guidance Center: routes exceptions to humans and learns from their answers.
• Builder Agent and prebuilt AI employees: 61 roles and 100+ apps for common back-office work.
• Business Journal and Time Machine: auditable logs and replayable runs.

A Vietnamese manufacturer can automate accounts payable and three-way matching between purchase orders, receipts and invoices. A logistics company can process shipping documents and reconcile carrier invoices. A shared service center can speed up month-end close and bank reconciliation.

Finance and operations staff can build and change automations in plain English without RPA developers. Deterministic execution and replayable audit logs avoid hallucinated actions in finance processes. The company claims maintenance is 12 times cheaper than traditional RPA; PepsiCo reports more than $1M in annual cost reduction and DISH eliminated 30,000 hours of manual work per year.

Back-office automation is shifting from screen-scraping bots to agentic AI, but finance and compliance teams need predictable, auditable behavior. Platforms that combine language models with deterministic execution answer that need, which matters for shared service centers and outsourcing providers growing in Southeast Asia.
