A small product studio. We make assistants that pick up the phone and get the thing done, keep a household on track, and give developers every model at a fair price — shipped as products people use, not slides.
Four products, one habit: the assistant does the work and hands back what happened, in words.
Your AI assistant's buddy for the calls that get things done. One errand in — book the table, check the stock, report the absence — and Sakhai rings the business, says she is an AI, and hands back one written outcome. Plain HTTP with an OpenAPI spec, or an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT hosts.
A voice companion for the whole household — reminders, letters, WhatsApp and the telephone — tuned to each person's stage of life. She calls from her own number, always says she is an AI, and tells you what happened afterwards. Same Sakhai, at home.
An OpenAI-compatible gateway for developers in India: 170+ models from 44 providers, India-hosted options, UPI and card billing, and a million free tokens to start. Thali Code, an open-source coding agent for the terminal, comes with it.
Where the lab started: multi-agent process automation for order-to-cash, procure-to-pay and reconciliation, with a complete audit trail and on-premise deployment for teams whose data cannot leave the building.
Cognio Lab LLC is a product studio in the San Francisco Bay Area. We began in enterprise automation, building agents that reconcile invoices and close the books. Then we asked what the same care would look like in ordinary life — and built Sakhai, who picks up the phone so your assistant doesn't have to stop at "I can't call them for you."
We are small on purpose. Everything is designed, built and run in-house, and every product is used by us before it is offered to anyone else.
A question, a partnership, a host that wants to give its assistant a telephone — write and a person answers.
