About
NeoCognition is an AI research lab developing self-learning agents designed to become domain experts through autonomous learning, in the way humans specialize 1. The company spun out of Ohio State University in 2025, founded by professor Yu Su, and emerged from stealth with approximately 15 employees, most holding PhDs 1. Su has argued that current agents succeed “only about 50% of the time,” and NeoCognition’s approach focuses on building systems that can rapidly master the unique rules and relationships of any professional environment 1. The company is targeting enterprise clients, including SaaS companies looking to integrate AI agent capabilities into existing products 1.
