Cogny: 100+ design tasks and 4.5 mil euros raised
Calin Balea
Cogny is a startup redefining how knowledge workers extract insights from large document sets and generate reports. Their technology blends a powerful search algorithm with advanced AI to streamline complex workflows.
I partnered with them for 18+ months, supporting their journey as they raised €4.5M+ in funding. In that time, I tackled 100+ design tasks, helping them:
Redesign their core web app
Experiment with new features and ideas
Design an Excel add-in
Design a core brand identity and website
What a (delightful) whirlwind.
Main dashboard - a list of documents, a document viewer, and a powerful search
Reports - a place to aggregate insights and draw conclusions
Search suggestions / Folder structure
Collections - a place to store and organize collected insights
Manual search query, for times when AI is too vague
Document import modal - upload from your device or import from web links
