Operating system for AI agents with persistent memory and safer machine control
Metacognition AI is an Australian startup building software for intelligent agents with persistent memory and lifelong reasoning. Its platform is designed to sit beneath large language models and help control how agents interact with machines and industrial systems, with an eventual focus on robot software that non-experts can teach through spoken instruction and feedback. The company was cofounded by Anton van den Hengel, Stephen Gould, and Paul Dalby.
