Knowledge Currency

People follow rewards. Knowledge follows people.

Real rewards

Workers earn points redeemable for tangible benefits.

The issue is that thewindow for change won't be open much longer.


As graduate students at Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science, we know that innovation timing is everything.

10,000 Baby Boomers retire every day

Each carries 20–30 years of irreplaceable tacit knowledge. Once gone, it's gone. The wave peaks in 2026.

AI made speech-to-insight cheap — finally

Three years ago, real-time voice transcription + LLM summarization at this quality wasn't possible. Now it is.

Remote work made tacit knowledge invisible

The watercooler is gone. Knowledge that once transferred organically now evaporates. Companies are finally feeling the pain.

Everything your team needs.
Nothing they'll resist.

01
Voice capture interface
Speak

Just talk — Cozu handles the rest

Workers speak about what they worked on. Cozu listens, asks intelligent follow-up questions, and generates a clean written summary — no typing, no forms, no friction.

02
Rewards dashboard
Reward

Knowledge becomes currency for the worker

Workers earn real rewards — bonuses, PTO, recognition — for sharing what they know. When there's a personal benefit, behavior changes. Adoption follows automatically.

03
Knowledge retention
Retain

Capture 30 years of expertise before it walks out

Every retirement, M&A, or restructuring is a knowledge loss event. Cozu turns exits into assets by preserving the lived experience of your experts before they leave.

04
Team workflow
Scale

Built for complex, iterative work

Manufacturing, R&D, specialty chemicals — any team doing complex work that is hard to write down. Cozu fits existing workflows so a lightweight tool becomes a natural habit.

05
AI personalization
Intelligence

Personalization that compounds over time

Cozu learns each user's process to ask better questions every session. That compounding intelligence is a moat built by MHCI researchers who specialize in habit formation.

06
Knowledge discovery
Discover

Surface the right expertise, instantly

Cozu's AI knows who knows what. Find any piece of institutional knowledge in seconds — so you stop re-inventing the wheel and start building on what already exists.

Why do companies struggle to capture knowledge? Because every existing solution asks the company to benefit — but the worker does the work. Cozu flips the model: you share what you know, you get rewarded. Simple as that.
