Cognee Cloud gives you the functionality of Cognee without local installation and offers a clear path to persistent, production-ready, and collaborative workflows. Below is an overview of the core parts of the Cognee Cloud environment.

Managed Environment

  • Persistent cloud storage for AI memory—documents, knowledge graphs, and embeddings.
  • Preconfigured Modal environment instead of local installation, configuration, and maintenance.
  • Backed by managed PostgreSQL, LanceDB, and Kuzu stores.
  • Access is provided through a Cognee Cloud subscription and API keys used by the UI and SDK.

Pipeline execution

Python SDK

Interactive UI

  • Cognee Cloud UI to add, cognify and search your documents and datasets.
  • Improve data structure using self-defined ontology.
  • Surface pipeline runs, statuses, and outputs in one place.
  • Enable interactive search, browsing, and dataset management.

Relationship to Cognee OSS

  • Cognee Cloud uses the same concepts, operations, and API patterns as open-source Cognee, but differs in deployment and use.
    • Cognee Cloud provides hosted persistence and collaboration.
    • Open-source Cognee is for local development, custom infrastructure, or air-gapped needs.
  • Local setups can sync with Cognee Cloud for combined workflows.
