Cogno is a project management AI for engineering teams that continuously watches Slack, GitHub, Notion, and meetings, and proposes the tasks that need attention before anyone asks for them. It catches stalled pull requests and threads that have gone quiet, and drafts the ticket, the assignee, and the due date for you. Once you approve a task, you can hand it straight to a local coding agent like Claude Code or Codex, delegating everything from implementation to pull request creation. The company behind it is Genaxis, Inc., a US corporation.
Key Features
- Proactive suggestions (Proposals): Cogno drafts task creation, assignee selection, and due-date adjustments automatically from Slack, GitHub, and meeting content. All you do is approve with one click.
- From meeting to task: A Notetaker joins your Google Calendar meetings automatically, produces a summary, and turns decisions directly into tasks that flow through to implementation.
- Delegation to coding agents: Assign tasks that need code to a local Claude Code or Codex agent. It builds and tests in a sandbox environment, then returns the work as a pull request.
- Lives in Slack/Teams: Proposals, approvals, and progress checks all happen inside your Slack or Microsoft Teams conversations — no separate tab required.
- Multiple views: List, board, calendar, and Gantt views cover manual review and planning.
Pricing
| Plan | Monthly price | Key features |
|---|---|---|
| Cogno Meet | $30/user/month | Task creation from meeting sync, execution delegation to Claude Code/Codex |
| Business | $45/user/month | The officially recommended standard plan. All connector monitoring, proactive detection, full AI execution environment |
| Business+ | $200/user/month | Everything in Business, plus tuning for your team’s own workflows |
| Enterprise | Contact sales | SSO/SCIM/audit logs/VPC deployment and other enterprise requirements |
Annual billing is advertised as giving you two months free, though per-plan annual rates are not stated. All prices are in US dollars and exclude tax, and the site notes that business customers in Japan account for consumption tax under the reverse charge mechanism.

Pros and Cons
✅ Pros
- Works across meetings, Slack, and GitHub to surface tasks and signs of stalled work before you notice them yourself
- Approved tasks can be delegated directly to a local Claude Code/Codex agent, with pull requests generated automatically
- The Enterprise plan covers corporate security requirements including SSO/SCIM/audit logs/VPC deployment
⚠️ Cons
- There is no self-serve signup — signing a contract requires going through sales via “Book a demo”
- Connections cover four services: GitHub, Slack, Notion, and Microsoft Teams. Linear, Asana, Jira, and Google Meet are listed as “coming soon” on the official site. If your existing task management tool isn’t among those four, the benefit is limited. (The official landing page names Jira and Meet as connections in its body copy, while the badge list in the same section marks both as “SOON” — the two descriptions conflict. This article follows the badges.)
- The security page itself states that “the program is maturing alongside the product,” and no third-party certification such as SOC 2 is verifiable at this point
- The company was founded in May 2026, so it’s young — both pricing and features may change
How It Compares
| Alternative | How it differs from Cogno |
|---|---|
| Linear | The standard for development-team task management, with strengths in speed and GitHub integration. It assumes a human files the ticket — there are no proactive task suggestions or automatic creation from meetings |
| Height | Strong at assisting work through AI-driven bug triage and backlog cleanup. It centers on organizing tasks that already exist, and has no equivalent to Cogno’s delegation of implementation to coding agents |
| Plane | A self-hostable open source project management tool, used as a privacy-focused alternative. Cogno does not support self-hosting |
Cogno’s distinctiveness comes down to two things: it monitors where tasks originate (Slack, GitHub, meetings) and gets ahead of ticket creation, and it passes approved tasks straight to a coding agent to carry them through to a pull request.
Who It’s For
- Engineering managers who want to capture and track every scattered “someone should handle this” remark across Slack and GitHub
- Development teams looking to reduce the manual load of writing meeting notes and turning them into tasks after every meeting
- Teams that want to hand implementation to Claude Code or Codex agents while managing everything from where a task originates through to the PR in one place
- Project leads who want to catch stalled PRs and ownerless tasks and lower the cost of keeping things moving
Conclusion
Cogno is worth evaluating if your bottleneck isn’t the task management tool itself, but the work that slips by without ever getting filed. Conversely, if your process already runs smoothly, there’s limited upside in replacing your existing tools. Keep in mind that contracts are sales-led only, through a demo booking, that the company was founded in May 2026 and has a short track record, and that pricing and features may both shift going forward.
