Somos is a cognitive computing research and product company.
We’re building a future where self-adapting systems can expedite knowledge creation, translation, curation, refinement, and synthesis – while centering human agency and judgement.
Although AI has the potential to accelerate critical knowledge work across sectors, key gaps remain. Humanity is being deluged with slop, deluded by hallucinations, and duped by deceptive model behaviors. To bridge these gaps, we’re building model-agnostic cognitive frameworks that fuse organisations’ human and machine capabilities in order to turn fragmented efforts into coordinated intelligence. These frameworks advance new forms of cooperation and accelerate knowledge production as significantly as safety allows. In our systems, when a model doesn’t know an answer, it says so – and then directs you to a human being who does or it specifies what information it needs from you for a more legitimate response.
We are scientists, engineers, designers, legal specialists, and builders with wide-ranging experience across both public and private sectors. Building on years of academic research funded by governments around the world, we are now extending our work into the private sector to ensure its continued growth and application.

We’re at the spark of a new computing era, set to redefine computers as smartphones once redefined phones. The cognitive computing orchestration layer we are building delivers a missing cornerstone for hybrid distributed intelligence, optimizing today’s technology while paving the way for smarter, safer, and more collaborative knowledge work.
Backed by the required multidisciplinary expertise and years of research, our team is building what’s next. We’re looking for partners ready to upgrade their knowledge management infrastructure and be ahead of the curve.
Projects with quantifiable human impact and funding ($10M+) are prioritized.
