Cosito was founded in 2024 by Andrea Patricia Diaz Baquero (MIT, ex-SAP, ex-AWS) to close the data capture gap between enterprise software and the frontline workers who never touch a desk. Backed by Techstars and JP Morgan.

    We built Cosito because the factory floor still runs on paper.

    Before founding Cosito, Andrea worked at SAP and AWS. She spent years watching the same pattern repeat: companies spent millions on enterprise software, and the workers closest to the operation — the ones actually running the line, catching defects, logging the shift — never used it. The systems were too complex, required too much training, and were designed for desk workers, not operators wearing gloves and moving between stations every few minutes. So the data never made it in. Or it made it in hours later, from memory, already wrong.

    What that gap actually costs

    Over 80% of operational data in industrial environments is still captured on paper or never captured at all. Each piece of data passes through multiple hands before reaching a system of record — scrap of paper, formal form, Excel sheet, another Excel sheet, manual ERP entry. Every step adds delay and error. By the time a supervisor has visibility into what happened on the floor, the shift is already over.

    What we built

    Cosito collapses that entire chain into a single voice interaction. A worker speaks what they observed — a quality check result, a maintenance finding, an inventory count — and Cosito transcribes it, matches it to the correct form or workflow, structures the data, and syncs it to the right system in real time. No typing. No navigation. No training. Workers start on day one.
