About Cosmic
Cosmic is a Public Benefit Corporation reinventing how homes are designed and built. We create an end-to-end digital experience that takes families from concept to move-in, powered by our AI-driven design software and mobile robotic microfactories.
Our technology integrates zoning, permitting, design, fabrication, and on-site assembly into a seamless workflow. Homes are custom-designed, carbon-neutral, fire-resistant, and delivered in weeks instead of years. By combining advanced robotics with sustainable materials and energy systems, Cosmic is making housing more affordable, resilient, and scalable — while giving people beautiful homes they can truly call their own.
