// WHY KOGNYT
The Kognyt advantage
Salesforce Schema Awareness
Kognyt understands your custom objects, fields, relationships, and record types. Your AI writes code that fits your actual org — not generic Salesforce.
Governor Limit Intelligence
Catches SOQL in loops, DML in loops, and CPU time risks before they reach production. Context no general AI tool can provide alone.
Tribal Knowledge Engine
Best practices, common pitfalls, and anti-patterns codified from senior Salesforce developers — available to every team member via AI.
Additive, Not Exclusive
Kognyt is not a replacement for Copilot. It gives Copilot (or any AI tool) the Salesforce-specific intelligence it needs to be truly effective.
