Cognia AI Lab - UK

Reduce AI Inference Costs by 50-98%

An R&D-driven systematic approach to inference cost optimization.
A research lab with world-class scientists (11K+ citations).
We access optimization techniques 2-3 years before the market - and ship them into production.
You pay only from the savings we deliver. No savings - no fee.

The operating system that makes your AI spend intelligent

Not a dashboard. A full-cycle system across all 8 architecture layers: see everything, simulate before you change, run autonomous experiments, get actionable recommendations with quantified ROI.

X-Ray

Visibility

Complete visibility into your AI stack without changing a single line of code.

  • Full agent tracing
  • LLM call details: tokens, cost, errors
  • Multi-provider routing + failover
  • Agent stop/start + drill-down
Cost Guard

Economics

Control costs with simulation-first approach. Know the impact before you deploy.

  • Cost drift detection
  • Rule simulation engine
  • Autonomous optimization recommendations
  • Per-agent cost attribution
Control Tower

Decisions

Operational decisions backed by data. Impact analysis across your entire system.

  • Impact analysis per decision point
  • State / cost / error views
  • Architecture governance
  • Prioritized action queue

Under the hood: an AI Factory that manages AI

Agent OS is not an interface layer. It is a multi-agent system that autonomously observes, analyzes, experiments, and recommends. Hundreds of specialized agents work continuously on your stack.

Research Ingestion: from arXiv paper to production recommendation

Feed a new research paper into the system. It maps the approach to your architecture, runs 100+ autonomous simulations on your real parameters, and returns a structured verdict. This is temporal arbitrage.

Production-ready components powering Agent OS

Each component is battle-tested in enterprise environments.

Router

LLM request orchestration across multiple providers. Cost-aware model selection, failover, load balancing.

Guard

Data safety module. PII masking, content filtering, prompt injection prevention.

SGR Framework

Schema-Guided Reasoning for structured agent development. 750+ GitHub stars, MIT license.

RAG Platform

Corporate knowledge management with semantic reranking, hybrid search, contextual chunking.

$ Cost Guard Engine

Cost drift detection, rule simulation, autonomous optimization recommendations.

Research Ingestion

arXiv/NeurIPS/ICLR papers mapped to client architecture. 100+ autonomous simulations.

Experiment Engine

Autonomous hypothesis generation from detected problems. Simulation-first validation.

SDLC Platform

Unified environment for AI agent lifecycle. Catalogue, presets, access control.

Why Cognia

The only system that measures what your AI actually delivers - and makes it cost less

Every observability tool tells you what you spent. We tell you what you got for it - and how to get more for less.

You Don't Pay If We Can't Help

  • We charge only a percentage of the inference savings we deliver
  • If we cannot optimize your costs, you pay nothing
  • No risk. Full alignment of interests
  • We earn only when you save

Simulate Before You Deploy

  • Cost Guard tests optimization rules on historical data
  • No more "let's try and see"
  • Simulate, verify, then implement

Autonomous Optimization

  • The AI Factory runs continuously
  • Detects problems, generates hypotheses, runs experiments
  • Your team reviews, not investigates

Zero Disruption

  • Proxy-based instrumentation
  • Your stack stays untouched
  • Full visibility without a single code change

Research-Backed

  • Every recommendation traces to peer-reviewed research
  • 237+ techniques across 8 layers
  • Each with quantified benchmarks

Surface Expansion

  • The right question isn't "how much did we save"
  • It's "how many tasks can we now afford"
  • Optimization unlocks economically impossible use cases

We see what's coming from the labs - 2-3 years before the market
