Metacognition AI, an Australian AI startup cofounded by AI researcher Anton van den Hengel and Stephen Gould, has raised $10 million in funding from CSIRO-backed deep tech VC Main Sequence. The company is building an operating system for AI agents that sits beneath large language models, enabling robot hardware to be trained by non-experts using simple verbal instructions. The platform targets industrial systems, with initial simulations for managing open-cut mines and electricity grids through voice control. The eight-person team is expanding and actively hiring AI researchers.

About
Metacognition AI is building an operating system for robots and AI agents that enables workers to train machines using voice commands and simple verbal instructions. The platform sits underneath large language models to control how they interact with machinery and other systems. Initially targeting industrial applications, the startup has developed simulations for directing open-cut mines and managing electricity grids through voice interaction. The system allows robots to learn tasks, remember instructions, and improve performance as they interact with their environment.
