Purpose-built GenAI assistant accelerates analysis and investigative flows with intelligence-specific logic, driving faster insights, greater operational impact and unlocking new growth opportunities

Cognyte Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CGNT) (“Cognyte”), a global leader in software-driven technology for investigative analytics, today announced the release of its advanced intelligence co-pilot, a generative AI (GenAI) assistant designed to drive investigative workflows through intuitive natural language querying and automated data analysis. Built on more than three decades of domain expertise, the co-pilot helps streamline intelligence operations, accelerating access to actionable data, improving precision and significantly reducing time to resolution. This launch reinforces Cognyte’s AI leadership and advances its strategy to deliver greater value to customers, driving sustainable, profitable growth.

The launch comes amid a global surge in AI investment across enterprises and governments. 2025 marks a clear inflection point, as organizations shift from experimentation to real-world AI deployment. With the release of the intelligence co-pilot, Cognyte is positioned at the intersection of two mega-trends: artificial intelligence and national security, unlocking new market opportunities while delivering real-world impact.

Analysts today face growing data volumes, tool fragmentation and urgent operational demands. Yet many still struggle to translate their investigative instincts and methodologies into interactions with sophisticated solutions, slowing insight generation and delaying action. GenAI is no longer an added feature; it is an operational imperative. Cognyte’s intelligence co-pilot addresses these operational bottlenecks by empowering investigators to act smarter and faster – when every second matters.

“Our customers want GenAI that’s not just powerful, but intuitive to use, explainable, secure and mission ready,” said Gil Cohen, Chief Product Officer at Cognyte. “The intelligence co-pilot was designed with those priorities in mind. It drives productivity, reduces analyst friction and creates new avenues for growth – while ultimately helping our customers combat terror and crime, and save lives.”

Reflecting the company’s deep understanding of investigative workflows and real-world operational needs, Cognyte’s intelligence co-pilot is purpose-built for law enforcement, national security and both national and military intelligence agencies. With flexible, secure deployments across cloud, on-prem or hybrid deployments, it scales to mission demands handling high-volume, multi-source data environments with resilience and speed.

Unlike generic chatbots, the co-pilot is embedded directly into the investigative workplace, enabling users to explore and understand intelligence data through contextual, visual interfaces. With step-by-step logic and transparent reasoning, analysts can navigate complex investigations faster and with greater precision, leading to more confident decision-making and better threat resolution.

“Too often, investigators invest too much time and effort translating their instincts and methodologies into complex, multi-layered and syntactic interactions with investigative software,” said Ronny Lempel, Chief Technology Officer at Cognyte. “Cognyte’s intelligence co-pilot removes that barrier. It allows investigators to focus on the problem domain, describe what they need in plain language, and instantly receive results along with structured, explainable logic. This latest innovation makes AI a true operational ally at the frontlines of intelligence.”
