Why Are We Moving to Ottogrid?

Cognosys played a critical role in helping us understand how users interact with automation agents and what tasks they’re looking to automate. As we built Cognosys, we discovered how to design agents that met user demands, and we learned how to architect these tools to deliver the results users expected.

However, Cognosys was built before modern frameworks for agents existed, which created limitations. The AI models we used at the time were not as advanced as today’s, leading to frequent errors and scalability issues. While we improved Cognosys over time, it became clear that further optimization wouldn’t be enough.

With Ottogrid, we’ve used everything we learned from Cognosys and built a platform on modern frameworks that can handle more complex tasks at larger scales, with significantly better accuracy and reliability.

How It Works:

What We Learned from Cognosys

Cognosys gave us crucial insights into how users were utilizing automation tools—not just how they interacted with agents, but what tasks they were prioritizing. One of the biggest takeaways was that users were mainly focused on data enrichment and extraction tasks. These use cases became a key focus as we developed Ottogrid.

Ottogrid is designed to handle enrichment and extraction at scale. We’ve spent extensive time refining our tools so that users can aggregate, enrich, and analyze data with greater speed and accuracy than was ever possible with Cognosys. Ottogrid now excels in these areas, making it a powerful tool for anyone looking to automate data-centric workflows.

What Ottogrid Does Better

Ottogrid builds on Cognosys with several key improvements:

  • Enhanced Tools: We’ve significantly improved the tools for scraping, web research, and file analysis. Ottogrid uses more advanced models, offering higher accuracy and better performance.

  • Third-Party Data Integrations: Ottogrid integrates with trusted data providers like Hunter.io, Apollo, Proxycurl, and Crunchbase, giving you greater flexibility in enriching your data.

  • APIs and Webhooks: Seamlessly manage and aggregate your data with custom API and webhook integrations to fit your workflow.

  • Scalability: Unlike Cognosys, which handled tasks one at a time, Ottogrid is designed for scale. You can process hundreds or thousands of tasks simultaneously, making it ideal for businesses that need to automate large-scale processes.

Transition Process for Cognosys Users

As we deprecate Cognosys, here’s what you need to know:

  • Data: Please download any data stored in Cognosys within the next two weeks. After that, login access will be removed.

  • Subscriptions: All active subscriptions will be canceled, and no new subscriptions will be accepted during this transition period.

  • Migration to Ottogrid: We encourage you to move to Ottogrid, where you’ll find a more robust, scalable platform that better meets your needs for data enrichment, extraction, and automation.

Special Offer for Cognosys Users

As a thank-you for your loyalty, we’re offering a special discount to all Cognosys users when you sign up for Ottogrid. Simply sign up and message us via Intercom, letting us know you're transitioning from Cognosys, and we'll apply the discount to your account.

The Road to Ottogrid

Over the past 18 months, we’ve been hard at work refining the tools that power Ottogrid. From web scraping and file analysis to content generation, we’ve built a reliable, scalable platform with reduced error rates and a smooth user experience. Ottogrid is faster, more reliable, and designed to handle large-scale enrichment and extraction tasks, making it the go-to solution for data aggregation and automation.

We believe Ottogrid represents a significant step forward and will offer you a much better experience as you automate your workflows, enrich your data, and scale your operations. We look forward to seeing how you leverage Ottogrid to drive success in your business.
