Each line says which. - [Scrut Automation](../scrut-automation/index.md): also at [The biological bottleneck](../../events/the-biological-bottleneck/index.md). - Also filed under [AI agents](../../topics/ai-agents/index.md) (21): [Altegio](../altegio/index.md), [Cisco (Outshift by Cisco)](../cisco-outshift/index.md), [Cnext](../cnext/index.md), [Delta Labs](../delta-labs/index.md), [Emergence](../emergence-ai/index.md), [Exa](../exa/index.md), [Genspark](../genspark/index.md), [GetVocal AI](../getvocal-ai/index.md), [Hexamind](../hexamind/index.md), [Keewano](../keewano/index.md), [Legora](../legora/index.md), [Linux Foundation (Agentic AI Foundation)](../linux-foundation-aaif/index.md), [Make](../make/index.md), [Manus AI](../manus-ai/index.md), [PolyAI](../polyai/index.md), [Primitive](../primitive/index.md), [RWS Group](../rws/index.md), [SageOx](../sageox/index.md), [Sensay](../sensay/index.md), [Strawberry](../strawberry/index.md), [You.com (Recursive & You.com)](../you-com/index.md). ## Its flows, and where AI agents are in them {#flows} We have not mapped Conscium's flows yet: how work moves through its product, from a request to a result, and at which steps an AI agent acts. We map them only from public pages (its own site and documentation, its talks), each step with its source, and never guess. If you are at Conscium, the quickest way to get this right is to tell us how it works. ## Our question for them {#question} As for every company we follow, three questions, not claims. We have not asked Conscium yet. When they answer, it goes here. 1. **Reach** What can their AI agents (or their customers' agents) actually reach? 2. **Mandate** What were they authorised to do? 3. **Gap** Who controls the gap between the two? ## Where this comes from {#sources} - [websummit.com/sessions/lis26/553f8328-1300-406a-887a-b139455238c7/the…](https://websummit.com/sessions/lis26/553f8328-1300-406a-887a-b139455238c7/the-biological-bottleneck/), read 2026-11-01 by the team's curator: LIS26 session page (conferenceSlug lis26): 'The biological bottleneck', 12 Nov, Cybersecurity Summit, Stage 8, names Conscium as the speaker's organisation. - [websummit.com/attendees/lis26/70405268-9440-4c81-a239-cc7156a96600/ca…](https://websummit.com/attendees/lis26/70405268-9440-4c81-a239-cc7156a96600/calum-chace/), read 2026-11-01 by the team's curator: LIS26 attendee page: Calum Chace, Co-founder, Conscium; country and industry as listed by Web Summit; public bio. - [conscium.com/](https://conscium.com/), read 2026-11-01 by the team's curator: what the company does, from its own site (title and description).
