We make companies AI-native.
Cognaitiv is an agentic engineering studio. We train your team to work with coding agents, build AI-native software and automations, and audit the AI-generated code you already ship.

Book one on its own, or combine several into a single engagement.
Agentic coding training
We teach your developers to ship with coding agents: prompting, planning, review discipline, and the workflows that keep Claude Code and OpenAI Codex fast, safe and productive.
AI agent-ready applications
We design and build agent skills, CLI tools and MCP servers, local and remote, so AI agents can use your product. Then we secure them with access tokens, API keys and OAuth.
AI readiness training
Practical, role-based training that gets operators and engineers using AI with judgement in their daily work.
AI code audit & rescue
Your agents write more code than anyone can review. We audit it for bugs, security holes and drift, fix what we find, and tighten the guardrails.
Automation engineering
Automations built with n8n and custom pipelines that connect your tools, data and models and take repetitive work off your team.
AI-native software
SaaS MVPs and production systems designed with agents in the loop from day one.
Architecture & advisory
Architecture, implementation plans and agent workflows for teams building AI-powered software, so the first version is built on the right foundations.
How an engagement runs.
One path from “we should use AI” to a team that ships AI-native software on its own.
- 01
Assess
We review your stack, your team and your AI readiness to find where agents help and where they add risk.
- 02
Architect
We design the systems, agents and workflows, and write a plan your team can build against.
- 03
Build
We ship AI-native software and automations with you, with coding agents in the loop from the first commit.
- 04
Enable
We train your team to run it and to drive Claude Code and Codex with a senior engineer's judgement.
- 05
Support
Ongoing audits and guardrails keep the system improving after we hand it over.
AI writes the code.
We keep it honest.
Coding agents ship faster than any team can review. We audit the AI-generated code you're already merging for bugs, security holes and silent drift. Then we fix what we find and add review guardrails so it doesn't come back.
We build working systems, then teach your team to run them.
Senior engineers only
No juniors learning on your codebase. The engineers on your project drive coding agents every day and know where they break.
Built around agents
We don't bolt AI onto old workflows. We design for it from the start, with Claude Code, Codex, n8n and MCP as core tools.
We hand over the keys
The goal is your team shipping without us, so we leave behind training, docs and workflows your team owns.
Honest about the risk
AI-generated code fails in new ways. We audit for it, and we tell you plainly what is ready for production.
