NeoCognition
Startup building AI agents that self-train to perform specific job functions like customer support or software development without manual retraining.
“Raised $40M seed round in ~6 months; focused on 'specialized intelligence' and learning world models for expert agents; named after the neocortex”
Source→“Our positioning is an Agent Research Lab. All problems related to intelligent agents — if we think it's interesting or related to ultimately solving the agent problem — we'll be interested in doing it. Short to medium term, we're focused on the keyword 'Specialization' or 'Specialized Intelligence,' not general intelligence.”
Source→“There's a relatively new book by Jeff Hawkins called 'A Thousand Brains of Intelligence.' It's still a fairly new theory but I think it's one of the furthest-reaching in this area. He says each cortical column is learning a world model... this world model is not limited to the physical world — it includes all language, mathematical systems, various abstract concepts humans have created.”
