CognOS
is
the Operating System for Intelligent Workloads
Reactive, coordinated, and grounded, CognOS is a fully distributed operating system for intelligent agentic systems at any scale.
Built on three pillars — Event Fabric, Agent Orchestration, and Knowledge Mesh — CognOS turns AI agents, workflows, and knowledge into governed, adaptive, production-ready systems.
CognOS Overview
Discover the vision behind CognOS — the first operating system for intelligence workloads. Learn how it unifies perception, memory, and orchestration into a governed cognitive loop.
Raising the Level of Abstraction
See how CognOS raises the level of abstraction from low-level plumbing to declarative cognitive resources — events, claims, workflows, and artifacts — making intelligence composable and governable.
An OS for Cognitive Systems
Understand how CognOS itself is a cognitive system and a substrate for building new ones. Explore how it maps directly onto the cognitive loop: perception, memory, action, and reflection.
CognOS Pillars
Adaptive Event Fabric
Stream · Pipeline · Trigger · Alert
Subscribe to events and metrics, sense changing conditions, and trigger workflows, alerts, webhooks, and other actions in real time.
Scalable Agent Orchestration
Process · Workflow · Agent · Task
Run processes and workflows under budgets and policies. Configure agents with tools and memory. Scale seamlessly from a single node to a global cluster.
Connected Knowledge Mesh
Domain · Graph · Cube · Search
Ingest data into living domains of facts, entities, and relationships. Ground agents with traceable knowledge, searchable graphs, and analytic cubes.
CognOS is…
CognOS is agent orchestration.
Replace brittle scripts with durable, declarative workflows where humans, AI agents, and tools act together under budgets and policies.
CognOS is a knowledge mesh.
Turn scattered data into living domains of facts, entities, and claims — multi-representational, contradiction-aware, and explainable.
CognOS is an event fabric.
Perceive signals in real time with pipelines, triggers, and storm brakes — reflexes that keep systems adaptive and safe.
CognOS is open.
Bring your services, models, and tools via APIs or MCP; CognOS weaves them into the cognitive loop.
CognOS is governed.
Policies, human-in-the-loop gates, and provenance are built in so outputs are trusted and auditable.
CognOS is reflective.
Workflows can monitor themselves, detect contradictions, and optimize performance — reflection as a first-class capability.
CognOS is production-ready.
Observability, versioning, and cost control let you move from prototype to platform without rewrites.
Built for Teams that Ship
Product & Ops
Launch features as governed workflows, not tickets. Track cost, performance, and impact with built-in budgets, metrics, and real-time alerts. Smooth by design, scalable in practice.
Developers
Build agent tools in your stack — anything that speaks MCP. Then design workflows, tasks, and agents declaratively in YAML/JSON, or visually with AutoGen Studio. CognOS supports the schemas you already use, so iteration is fast and integration seamless.
Architects
Model domains, workflows, and policies as declarative resources. Deploy anywhere — from laptop to Kubernetes to multi-cloud — with traceability, lifecycle, and governance built in.
