Cogniac Custom AI + Cisco Meraki Partnership Profiled
Cogniac claims to have "the largest deployment of computer vision applications in the world", but how well can AI startup Cogniac leverage the Meraki partnership and $30 Million from Cisco and others to expand its AI "from Scratch" offering?
Based on an interview with Cogniac's Chief Marketing Officer Steven Hartman, IPVM profiles the company, including its background, funding, employees, and positioning, and examines its product based on publicly available information.
Note: IPVM plans to test Cogniac in the coming months. IPVM has tested several other "train your own" analytics including Wyze AI Smart Vision / "Anything Recognition" Tested, Bosch AI Camera Trainer Released And Tested, and Azena [Formerly S&ST] Tested.
