Specialist AI Transformation · Governed Agentic Operations

    Transform high-stakes work with AI, without losing control.

    Most AI stalls at the pilot. We help you turn agentic AI into a governed capability that grows revenue, expands capacity and improves decisions.

    From one consequential workflow to governed scale.

    AI investment is accelerating. Operational capability is not.

    Most organisations are running AI pilots. Few have AI doing real work: serving customers, processing claims, preparing decisions.

    The gap isn’t the technology. It’s whether AI can be trusted to act.

    Those who close that gap now will scale what works and lead in the AI era. The rest will keep paying for pilots.

    A successful pilot proves the technology.
    A governed operating capability transforms the business.

    Our Specialisation

    Governed agentic AI for complex, high-stakes work

    Proven in production.

    Led by a founder who’s done it at Australia’s largest bank and a leading global commercial insurer.

    Safe to scale

    Approvals and audit trails are built in from the start, so sign-off doesn’t stall launch.

    Senior hands, start to finish.

    The people who scope your work build it. No hand-off to a junior team, no lost context.

    Advice you can trust.

    If agents aren’t the answer, we’ll say so, and point you to the simpler fix that delivers sooner.

    Why Us

    Work directly with people who’ve done it.

    Every engagement is led by our founder, with senior specialists in strategy, risk, security and engineering.

    Founder

    Kannan Durairaj

    Business enabler. Transformation leader. Applied AI technologist.

    Kannan doesn't just advise on AI. He delivers it: live, in front of real customers, inside some of Australia's most demanding organisations.

    At Commonwealth Bank, ranked #1 in Asia-Pacific for AI maturity, he led the launch of the bank's first customer-facing multi-agent system: an AI relationship manager for small-business customers. Live in just four months, it helped customers take control of their cash flow and drove revenue growth for the bank. At Zurich Australia, he led the insurer's first agentic transformation.

    Over 20+ years at Commonwealth Bank, Macquarie Bank, Zurich Australia, News Corp and Amazon Services, he has led the teams, platforms and change that turn technology into business results. Across banking and insurance, he has delivered customer-facing multi-agent solutions and AI products, all built on strong governance and engineering discipline.

    For business leaders, Kannan is a trusted partner with skin in the game. He pairs executive engagement with hands-on depth in agentic systems, generative AI and AI-native platforms. He has carried accountability for AI outcomes, not just advised on them, and stays with you from the first workshop to go-live.

    He founded MyCognitive to help organisations move from AI pilots to governed agentic operations, where agents create value and people stay accountable.

    How we deliver

    Value you can see. Control you can prove.

    Trust

    Your people stay accountable. Every AI decision has an owner, and sensitive calls go to a person.

    Safety

    Agents only do what they’re allowed to. Risky actions need sign-off, and every change can be rolled back.

    Speed

    Clear boundaries let AI move fast without cutting corners.

    Return on AI

    You see what every AI action costs, and what it returns.

    Engagement model

    Discovery, Design, Deploy and Scale

    We work alongside your teams from architecture through safe execution, building accountability into every stage.

    1. Discovery

      We map your workflows, risks, and data landscape to identify where agentic AI delivers the most value with controlled risk.

    2. Design

      Together, we architect how agents coordinate and escalate. Policies, guardrails, and decision boundaries are established from the start.

    3. Deploy

      Agents operate within defined permissions, approval thresholds, risk boundaries, and cost limits from day one.

    4. Scale

      Every outcome is traced through reasoning, tool calls, data, and approvals, expanding coverage with controlled rollout and rollback.
