Cogna automates custom software delivery using GPT-3.5, Claude, and internal LLM tooling to solve industry-specific problems in days instead of months. The stack reveals an AI-first, engineer-heavy org building toward autonomous capability: Dagster + Temporal for workflow orchestration, FastAPI + TypeScript for service delivery, and active work on agentic behavior pipelines and proof engines. Hiring accelerates across engineering and operations, suggesting they're scaling the core software factory while addressing legacy-system integration friction.
Cogna delivers custom software solutions for utilities, construction, facilities management, logistics, and similar infrastructure-heavy sectors burdened by fragmented legacy systems and siloed operations. Rather than months-long consulting engagements, the company uses AI to compress the design-build cycle—customers describe their pain points, and Cogna generates production-ready applications. The platform targets mid-market organisations that need precision fixes to unique operational inefficiencies but lack internal capacity for full custom development. Based in London with 51–200 employees, the company was founded in 2023.
Cogna runs Python, FastAPI, TypeScript, and SQL for application delivery; Dagster and Temporal for orchestration; GPT-3.5, Claude, and internal LLM tooling for AI generation; Kubernetes and Terraform for infrastructure; Datadog for observability.
Active projects include backend SaaS services, data pipelines with Dagster and Temporal, internal LLM tooling, agentic behavior pipelines, API connectors for enterprise platforms, and vertical playbooks tailored to asset-intensive industries.
