Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 36 of the 101 other AI agents we grade
Kognitos is an automation platform where business teams describe a process in plain English and the platform runs it. It targets finance, banking, healthcare and supply chain work such as invoices and reconciliations, and pauses to ask a person when it meets an exception.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Kognitos, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating on record, and you learn how to describe processes and connect SAP, Oracle or NetSuite.
- 1
Best for writing back-office automations in plain English
Kognitos lets you write business automations in plain English and run them, with a free workspace to start.
- 2
What it costs
Paid plans start at Free workspace; paid use is consumption-based and quoted by sales.
- 3
There is a free plan
A free workspace where you can sign up, write automations in plain English and run them. The FAQ states no limits.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
English as Code
Automations are written as plain-English instructions rather than code or screen-scraping bots, so business users can build and maintain them.
- 6
Exception handling
When an agent meets an exception it pauses, a person answers in plain English, and the run resumes from where it stopped. The vendor says the answer is kept for next time.
- 7
Deterministic execution
The vendor says agents follow the process as defined and log each decision, and it describes the engine as neurosymbolic rather than a pure language-model agent.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 36 of 101
That is against the other AI agents we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Kognitos you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for writing back-office automations in plain English
Kognitos lets you write business automations in plain English and run them, with a free workspace to start. Paid use is consumption-based and quoted by sales, the free workspace's limits are not stated, and the vendor sells mainly on annual or multi-year contracts.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Paid pricing is quoted by sales and priced by transactions and agent complexity, so there is no figure to compare with the category. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free workspace lets you write and run automations, but the FAQ states no limits, so we can't say where it stops. |
| Features | C | English-as-code automation, exception handling and prebuilt AI employees. The listing shows enterprise system connections but no published usage caps. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and you learn how to describe processes and connect SAP, Oracle or NetSuite. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, with connections to SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Workday and Salesforce. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Kognitos is for
- Fits if you run finance or operations processes and want them written down in plain English
- Makes sense if you want to try a free workspace before any contract
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you need a published price, as paid use is quoted by sales
- Watch out: the free workspace's limits are not stated on the pages read
- Tight if you want short terms, since contracts are annual or multi-year and shorter terms are for pilots
- Watch out: the security claims on the page, such as SOC 2 and HIPAA, are the vendor's own
Good to know
Good for
- Finance and operations teams automating invoice and reconciliation work
- Enterprises replacing screen-scraping RPA bots that break when applications change
Worth knowing
- Paid pricing is not published. The FAQ describes consumption-based pricing, and a quote comes from the sales team.
- The vendor offers enterprise contracts with annual and multi-year terms; shorter terms are mentioned only for pilots and mid-market.
- Security claims such as SOC 2, HIPAA and GDPR readiness come from the vendor's own FAQ.
- The free workspace's limits are not stated on the pages read.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Kognitos you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
What this rests on. Kognitos’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
