Status26 / The company behind CosmOS
Universal by design. Local by purpose.
Big ideas belong at the scale where business happens — between people, in their communities.
A local business is its own universe.
A business has an identity. It exists within a community. It produces information, maintains relationships, and adapts as its market changes.
Status26 brings sophisticated technology down to that scale. CosmOS connects the platform. Cosmic is one business’s own world. Pulse holds the approved blueprint. Oasis is the customer control plane. OptStar brings the AI and human agents doing the work.
The application is tangible: people through the door, service requests and booked jobs, or new local client opportunities.
