What Cozmo AI does
Cozmo AI is building the platform for regulated enterprises to deploy their own AI employees. Cozmo is a system of work for complex enterprise operations. Companies use Cozmo to build and deploy AI employees, which are a collection of agents that own workflows end to end. They talk to customers, read documents, interpret videos, apply company policies and update systems like Guidewire, Temenos and Salesforce, pulling humans into the loop only when real judgment or escalation is needed. Every decision the AI employee makes is logged, including its reasoning and policy reference, providing a complete audit trail for compliance and operations without additional manual effort. This is managed by our proprietary Agent Protocol Engine (APE), the control layer that keeps shared context, enforces policy and ensures every step is tracked for regulated industries. Cozmo is live with 10+ enterprises, including Fortune Global 500s, like Nestlé, and has already handled over 1M production calls and 10M interactions; cutting costs by up to 70% and turning roughly 1 in 13 conversations into revenue.

Multimodal AI Employees That See, Speak, Think and Do
We build an AI platform that lets regulated enterprises create and deploy AI employees - collections of agents that handle entire workflows. They interact with customers, understand documents and videos, apply policy, and update enterprise systems, pulling in humans only for judgment or escalation. Our Agent Protocol Engine tracks every decision and reasoning step, giving a full audit trail needed in compliance-heavy industries.
We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and the company will remain based here after YC.
San Francisco is where our team is and where most of our early enterprise customers are based. It keeps us close to our market and engineering talent.
