Cogna

Businesses in the physical world face unique, messy challenges that off-the-shelf software wasn't designed to solve

Cogna builds custom AI-native applications for businesses in physical industries whose operational problems don't fit off-the-shelf software, using what it calls an AI software factory to go from problem to a working application. It targets sectors like water and wastewater utilities, gas networks, field services, and facilities management, building tools for specific jobs such as reducing network leakage, speeding up safety response, cutting windscreen time for field crews, or validating invoices before they're paid.

As a productivity tool aimed at operational leaders rather than individual users, Cogna says it can deliver a working application within weeks rather than the months a traditional software project takes, and applies enterprise-grade security standards throughout. Its pricing is outcome-based, meaning payment is tied to results rather than a license paid upfront.

There's no public price list; the site points interested teams toward requesting a demo to scope a specific operational problem before Cogna starts building an application around it, which is the practical way to see what an outcome-based engagement would look like for a given team.
