Glossary
What the terms mean.
The words we use for the Formula AI Control Centre, in plain English. A Connected Colleague is always an AI agent; the people in your organisation are your team members.
- Formula AI Control Centre
- CogniScale's platform for giving every person an AI co-CEO, and a Connected Colleague for each task they repeat.
- AI co-CEO
- Each person's own AI working partner, like a chief of staff. It knows their goals, inbox, diary and meetings, sets out the day in a morning briefing and carries work forward for them to review.
- Morning briefing
- Your co-CEO's summary at the start of the day: what needs your attention, the meetings ahead and the replies waiting for you.
- Connected Colleague
- An AI agent you create for one area of work or one recurring task, such as finance, sales or client reports. Each one works alongside your co-CEO.
- Team members
- The people in your organisation who use the Control Centre. A test drive is for you and up to five team members.
- Skill
- A reusable set of instructions, standards and examples that helps your co-CEO or a Connected Colleague do a particular kind of work, such as writing in your brand and tone of voice.
- CogniScale Helper
- The application on your Mac or Windows computer that connects the Formula AI Control Centre to Claude Code.
- Workspace Brain
- An optional paid upgrade that keeps a current, shared picture of your organisation's clients, projects and decisions, from sources you agree. People and Connected Colleagues see only what their level allows.
- Personal Brain
- Each person's private working space on their own computer: their notes, drafts and personal context. It is private by design, and shared organisational knowledge stays separate.
- Team Pulse
- A short survey every two months on how people are using AI, how confident they feel and where they need support.
- Agent engine
- The technology that allows an AI co-CEO or Connected Colleague to use tools, work across files and systems and carry multi-step work through to completion.
- Test drive
- A free 14-day trial for you and up to five team members, with a further 14 days when you share your feedback at the end.
