NeoCognition, a Palo Alto AI research lab, has secured $40 million in seed funding. The startup, founded by Yu Su, Xiang Deng, and Yu Gu, aims to improve the reliability of AI agents. Current AI agents complete tasks as intended only around 50% of the time, according to Su. NeoCognition's solution is to give agents a mechanism to build 'world models' of their operating environments, learning through experience. The company plans to embed its agent system in enterprise software, creating AI workers that improve over time. The funding round was co-led by Cambium Capital and Walden Catalyst Ventures, with participation from Vista Equity Partners and other investors. NeoCognition has around 15 employees, most holding PhDs, and plans to target established SaaS companies.
