Our Solution & Market Opportunity
Enterprises and individuals struggle with escalating AI costs, privacy concerns, and rigidity. Cognis empowers them to run powerful language models on their own devices—and optionally through trusted cloud partners—unlocking cost control, privacy, and scalable AI deployment in one unified platform.
Why is AI infrastructure ownership important now? Using your own AI stack can avoid unpredictable API costs, reduce reliance on third-party servers, and reclaim significant hardware efficiency. For example, 50 million tokens/day usage can free up 2.4 GPU hours and save over $7 daily, with enterprise scale (500M tokens/day) saving over $70 per day—while CPU power remains very low (<$0.12 per 10M tokens).
Hardware Agnostic
Deploy our AI solutions seamlessly on any existing infrastructure, from legacy systems to modern IoT devices. This eliminates the need for costly hardware upgrades, significantly reducing initial investment and accelerating time-to-value for your AI initiatives.
Scalable & Sovereign
Achieve exponential scale by simply adding local nodes as your operational needs grow, without compromising data governance. Our architecture ensures you maintain full data control and security directly within your ecosystem, adhering to strict compliance requirements.
Hybrid Deployment
Leverage the robust security and privacy benefits of on-premise AI processing, combined with the elasticity and flexibility of cloud resources. This optimizes performance, ensures regulatory compliance, and provides resilient operations even in environments with intermittent connectivity.
Low Latency & Real-time Processing
Gain immediate insights and enable instant decision-making by processing data at the very source. Our edge AI eliminates the round-trip delays associated with cloud-only solutions, crucial for time-sensitive applications like predictive maintenance or real-time anomaly detection.
Cost Efficiency
Significantly minimize operational expenditures by reducing reliance on expensive cloud data transfers and compute cycles. By intelligently distributing AI workloads to the edge, Cognis Digital helps you optimize resource utilization and achieve substantial long-term savings.
Our unique architecture fundamentally reshapes how AI operates, enabling faster, cheaper, and more secure AI decisions with unparalleled data control, directly at the edge of your network. This innovative approach empowers businesses to unlock new efficiencies and competitive advantages previously unattainable with traditional cloud-centric AI models.
Market Opportunity
Total Addressable Market (TAM): $500 Billion
Serviceable Available Market (SAM): $150 Billion
Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM): $25 Billion
The AI orchestration market is projected to grow from $9 Billion in 2024 to $11.4 Billion in 2025, highlighting a rapidly expanding landscape for Cognis Digital's solutions.

The Problem: AI Implementation & Digital Transformation Gap
Despite massive investments, organizations face significant barriers to successfully integrating AI and achieving broader digital transformation goals. This creates an urgent need for solutions that address these critical pain points effectively.
Escalating Costs & Financial Drain
  • Traditional AI requires expensive hardware and infrastructure.
  • Cloud AI APIs lead to unpredictable and escalating usage expenses.
  • $6 trillion annual cybersecurity cost further strains budgets.
Data Security & Compliance Risks
  • Processing sensitive enterprise data with third-party cloud providers introduces critical privacy and regulatory vulnerabilities.
  • Compliance concerns are heightened, especially for industries with strict data governance requirements.
Scalability & Integration Challenges
  • Scaling AI deployments leads to performance bottlenecks and operational inefficiencies.
  • Disparate legacy systems and new AI tools create complex integration fragmentation.
  • Local-only AI tools lack robust orchestration and enterprise-wide deployment capabilities.
Vendor Lock-in & Stifled Innovation
  • Reliance on proprietary cloud AI ecosystems creates strategic dependencies.
  • Lack of control over infrastructure limits agility and innovation in a rapidly evolving market.
High Digital Transformation Failure Rate
  • Approximately 70% of digital transformation initiatives fail to achieve their objectives.
  • This highlights a systemic issue with current approaches to technology adoption and integration.
These systemic limitations in existing AI infrastructure, compounded by broader digital transformation challenges, create a significant, unmet market demand for a solution that delivers cost control, data sovereignty, and scalable deployment capabilities – precisely the gap Cognis Digital is poised to fill.
