We're Excited to Announce the Launch of Cognition
Cognition is a next-generation retrieval-augmentation-generation (RAG) platform, designed to empower sophisticated and trustworthy LLM (large language model) applications.
With cognition, developers and engineers can design and deploy intent-aware information retrieval pipelines. These are securely connected to company data, allowing businesses to swiftly build confidence in their AI application outputs.

We’ve Gone All-in on RAG

At the core of cognition is our commitment to retrieval augmentation generation (RAG) technology. We believe in RAG as the essential backbone for AI applications, delivering reliable and trustworthy results for businesses.
Despite the rapid growth in AI and NLP (natural language processing) over the past year, extracting accurate and reliable results from AI applications, such as AI assistants, is a challenge many organizations face. This will continue to be a significant barrier in the AI industry. The heart of these challenges lies in robust information retrieval systems and the intricacies of RAG.
cognition tackles these challenges by providing a customizable and sophisticated 'retrieval pipeline.' This pipeline is quick and simple to set up, empowering developers and data teams to create optimal data workflows. As a result, LLMs can produce high-quality and accurate responses.

How Cognition Works

The Data

Transform your company data into an intelligent fact database for accurate, reliable responses.
Simply Connect Company Data
In just a few clicks, connect, parse, and format your company data to build an intelligent fact database. This enriches your AI applications with relevant information. cognition processes the data automatically, but you also have the option to manually inspect and modify facts as necessary.
Automated Data Enrichment
cognition integrates your database with our industry-leading data engine, refinery. This automates the labeling and categorization of your data. Developers can easily filter and detect the complexity and quality of the data, making edits where needed.

The Pipeline

Gain full visibility and control over the retrieval pipeline, powered by advanced ML algorithms.
Collect and Analyze Queries
Utilize the query itself to extract pertinent details from your fact-base, which then feeds the LLM. This ensures the LLM understands the query's context, searching only relevant facts to generate highly pertinent responses.
Auto-Select the Ideal Retrieval Pipeline Strategy
Depending on the query's nature, it is routed through the optimal path to yield the most beneficial response. Path choices include selecting between retrieval types, such as 'action-based' versus 'information-seeking'. Alternatively, the query might be directed straight to the LLM if it's purely action-oriented, bypassing company data when unnecessary. This ensures swift response delivery.
Custom Prompts & Debugging
Take complete control over how the LLM addresses specific questions with 'custom prompt' engineering. By collecting, storing, and analyzing customer queries, dictate the LLM's response to ensure consistency.
Seamless LLM Integration
Easily link your preferred LLM to the cognition pipeline. Our platform accommodates various models, including GPT, open-source LLMs, or on-premise development, ensuring maximum data security.

Use Cases for Cognition

Cognition is a versatile platform suitable for a range of AI and NLP applications. Its advanced retrieval capabilities make it essential for enhancing AI assistant interactions, optimizing chatbots, and conducting sentiment analysis.

Our Vision for the Future of AI

We envision a future AI landscape where crafting trustworthy and sophisticated AI-driven applications is not only more straightforward but also easier to deploy. This evolution enables organizations to smoothly embrace groundbreaking technology, equipping their workforce with tools that enhance productivity, drive motivation, and bolster support. Additionally, it transforms customer satisfaction into a competitive advantage by presenting customers with a world-class experience.
