What KNOW does

KnowCorp is a privately held R&D AI development company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The company builds proprietary applications using AI, machine learning, and natural language processing across a horizontal portfolio spanning virtual agent technology, digital clone technology, knowledge management platforms, conversational AI, and consumer cognitive applications. Its core offerings include Artificial Person (pre-trained virtual agents billed hourly as independent contractors), Apollo Project and Digital Clone Portal (lifelike digital representatives capturing authentic voice and speaking styles for influencers, celebrities, and professionals), Custom AI Agents with a no-code Orchestrator System, ThoughtSpace (an expert knowledge retention platform pioneered before ChatGPT), Online Meeting Space (customized collaboration platform), and consumer cognitive products (Tidbits, Mind Garden, Pzzlrs.com). The company also operates GreenBean Generators, an enterprise management system for portable power generator operations.

KnowCorp's technology stack encompasses conversational AI, knowledge retrieval systems, generative AI for voice cloning, autonomous agents, process automation, and optimization algorithms, delivered across text, audio, video, and multimodal modalities. The company positions its work as covering the full lifecycle from AI strategy and consulting through custom AI development and production deployment, and it offers machine learning model design and energy/IoT solutions alongside its productized offerings. No patents, research publications, or named proprietary model architectures are disclosed in available sources.

The business model combines multiple revenue streams: usage-based hourly billing for Artificial Person virtual agents, project-based and retainer fees for custom AI development and consulting, and platform subscriptions for Digital Clone Portal, ThoughtSpace, and Online Meeting Space. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, relying on direct enterprise sales engagement with demo and consultation CTAs on the company website, supplemented by earned media through press releases distributed via PR Newswire. The company targets mid-market and enterprise businesses as its primary segment, with secondary segments in influencers/celebrities seeking digital presence and individual consumers engaging with cognitive enhancement applications. The company has 11-50 employees, operates exclusively within the United States (specifically California), and disclosed a single $3 million funding round in January 2022 led by erev3.com and Kasaba Investments.
