Common questionsWhat people ask before the first call
Every answer is in the page source rather than behind a click, because the systems that summarise this page never click anything.
What does Cognilium AI do?
We build AI optimization apps that work in tandem with Microsoft Dynamics 365. Dynamics is your system of record; we are your system of intelligence. It manages pricing, warehouses and inventory; we optimize them with data science. We also run a separate AI engineering practice building production agent, retrieval and data systems.
How is Cognilium different from a Dynamics implementation partner?
We do AI, and we do it inside the ERP you already run. Your partner put Dynamics in and keeps it running, and we make what they built worth more: the complementary apps that make the optimal call on top of it, the last mile your ERP records but cannot optimize. We don’t touch your ERP core; we surround it with intelligence.
What does an optimization app actually do that Dynamics does not?
Dynamics enforces the rule and stores the data, which gets a process about 80% of the way. The last 20% is the decision itself: the optimal price, the optimal pick path, the optimal safety stock. Those need data science, not configuration. Our app computes the recommendation and the process owner acts on it inside the system they already use.
Which processes do you optimize?
The lead plays are pricing and discounting, warehouse pick-path and slotting, contract and procurement review, and demand and inventory planning. We pitch across roughly twenty ERP domains in total. Working demos exist and we build each app on request.
How do you integrate without putting our ERP at risk?
We run in tandem with Dynamics on your own governed stack — Power Platform, Dataverse and Azure — and ship via AppSource where appropriate. We read from and write to documented integration surfaces rather than modifying the ERP core, so your implementation partner's work and your upgrade path are untouched.
Where is Cognilium AI located, and how do you work?
Cognilium AI is remote-first and works as part of our clients’ teams across US and UK hours. Clients are in the United States, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and Pakistan. Delivery runs over video calls, Slack and whatever project tooling your team already uses, and Dynamics work runs inside your own tenant rather than ours.
What products has Cognilium built?
We built 4 production AI products: Paralegent AI for contract review with 11 AI specialists, ProspectVox for voice AI sales with 4 agents, VectorHire for AI recruiting with parallel screening agents, and VORTA for 24/7 AI customer support. These products prove our engineering depth.
Can Cognilium augment my existing engineering team?
Yes. We provide pre-vetted senior GenAI engineers who embed with your team within 48-72 hours. They work in your sprint cadence, your stack, your tools. Expertise includes LangChain, OpenAI, RAG, multi-agent systems, and voice AI. No long-term commitments required.
What technology stack does Cognilium use?
For Dynamics work: Power Platform, Power Apps, Dataverse and Azure, shipped via AppSource where appropriate, so everything stays inside your governed environment. For the AI engineering practice: LLMs (Claude, GPT, Llama, Mistral), vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, pgvector), orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, LlamaIndex) and AWS, Azure or GCP. All with monitoring, testing and deployment pipelines.
Who is the founder of Cognilium AI?
Mudassir Marwat founded Cognilium AI in 2019 and leads it as CEO. The company builds the AI layer above the ERP — the pricing, replenishment, pick-path and contract decisions Dynamics 365 records but never optimises — and operates four AI products of its own, running 37 AI agents in production across three clouds. He works from named outcomes rather than averages: a 97% database-load reduction on a marketplace platform, a material cut in AI running costs through model routing on a contract platform. He ships on three clouds in production — AWS, GCP and Azure, each with its own infrastructure-as-code — with clients in the US, UAE, UK and Pakistan.
