Home / Platform

The control layer underneath every Respond workflow.

Every workflow shares the same foundation: structured content, configurable review, enterprise security and AI activity you can inspect. The surface changes. The foundation stays consistent.

Architecture at a glance

One platform, many surfaces.

People and agents, web app and controlled access surfaces - all routed through the same permissions, review rules and AI operations layer.

Approved Knowledge

A versioned content library that gives AI the right material to generate from, with ownership and review status visible.

  • Policies, prior responses and approved boilerplate
  • Tags for topics, document types and business units
  • Version history and stale-content indicators
  • Source-of-record integrations

Workflow & Review

Structured stages, owners and reviewers keep response work moving without relying on inbox memory.

  • Configurable stages per workflow family
  • Owner, reviewer and approver assignment
  • Reviewer diffs and change tracking
  • Comments, mentions and SME loops

Security, Permissions & Audit

Access controls, tenant isolation, residency options and review history support enterprise security checks.

  • SSO, SAML, OIDC and SCIM
  • Scoped corpora and project permissions
  • Exportable audit history
  • EU, US and regional deployment options

AI Operations, Jobs & Observability

AI work is visible at job level, including model usage, cost, confidence signals and reviewer edits.

  • Token cost by project and workflow
  • Model routing and fallback policies
  • Confidence thresholds by workflow
  • Job replay for debugging

Integrations & Access Surfaces

Respond works beyond the browser. Engineers and agents reach the same platform through a REST API, CLI, SDK and MCP tool surface — with the same permissions, review rules and audit trail as the web UI. Headless access is built for automation, not as an afterthought.

  • REST API for direct integration
  • CLI for scripted and pipeline operations
  • MCP tools for agent and LLM workflows
  • Inbound email for low-friction intake
  • ATS and content-source integrations
  • SharePoint, Confluence, Drive and S3

Built to fit security, legal and compliance review.

Cognaire is designed for teams that need faster response work without giving up control, source context or review discipline.
