Cognaire builds AI-native software for organisations that need to respond faster, work from trusted knowledge, and keep humans in control of high-value outputs. Our flagship product, Cognaire Respond, is an agentic AI platform: its AI agent takes on the legwork of recruitment assignments, RFPs, security questionnaires, due diligence requests and other response-heavy work, while people keep the decisions.
Cognaire was started by people who spent years inside the response workflows they are now building software for — recruitment submissions, RFP responses, security questionnaires, due diligence packs and compliance reviews.
The founding team saw the same pattern everywhere: high-value, deadline-driven work running through spreadsheets, shared drives and email threads. AI could help, but only if it was structured around approved content, clear review steps and human sign-off. That conviction became Cognaire Respond.
Cognaire Respond is a single platform with workflow families for different teams. The same content layer, review engine and AI operations sit behind every workflow.
Respond’s AI agent does the legwork on each role — from job brief to client submission — while your consultants keep the decisions.
Generate policy-grounded answers across the long-form response work your reviewers have to sign.
Cognaire builds AI features around responsible-AI principles: transparency, accountability and data minimisation.
AI outputs are clearly identified, and anything the agent prepares is reviewed and approved by a person before it leaves the platform.
Answers are grounded in your organisation's governed knowledge library — not public internet data.
Every AI job is logged with full provenance — input, model, prompt, output and reviewer decision.
Role-based access controls and approval workflows ensure the right people review the right outputs.
Cognaire Respond is designed for organisations that handle sensitive client, candidate and compliance data. Security and data handling are foundational, not afterthoughts.
Single-tenant deployment option with data residency in your chosen AWS region.
SSO (SAML 2.0) and SCIM provisioning available for enterprise identity management.
All data encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+).
Role-level audit logging across all user actions and AI operations.
No sharing customer data between tenants.
Data migration of knowledge, contacts or talent pool available.
Two entities, one team. Contracting and procurement teams can engage with whichever entity fits the deal.
Cognaire is currently working with selected organisations that want to improve how they manage recruitment submissions, questionnaires, proposals and knowledge-heavy client responses.
