Overview

Coginiti was founded in 2020 by data industry veteran Rick Hall and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. What started as a SQL development workbench has grown into what the company calls a Semantic Intelligence Platform, built to give both human analysts and AI agents a shared, governed definition of business metrics.

The platform connects to more than 21 database and warehouse platforms, including Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, and legacy systems like Oracle and Db2, and deploys in cloud, hybrid, or air-gapped environments with government-grade security controls. Two built-in AI agents divide the work: Coginiti Smith helps data teams define and encode the semantic graph, while Coginiti Guide lets business users query that governed data using plain-language questions.

Coginiti serves data teams at government, defense, healthcare, and financial services organizations, reflected in its security posture and its roster of 300+ enterprise and public-sector customers. Individual analysts can trial the Pro desktop workbench free for 14 days before it converts to a $189/year subscription; teams needing shared catalogs and governance features need a custom quote.
