Abstract Cortex visual representing a knowledge graph memory layer for AI agents
Knowledge Graph · Agent Memory · Institutional Scale

Institutional memory for the agentic era.

Cortex turns your organization's documents into a living knowledge graph that every agent, app, and teammate can read, write, and reason over — so your collective knowledge compounds instead of walking out the door. Works with any model and harness.

Why your agent is stuck

All the intelligence.
None of your context.

Every agent in your organization has the world's knowledge and none of yours. The models are brilliant — they just have no idea who your customers are, what your team decided last quarter, or how your product actually works. Without shared institutional memory, that gap shows up the same three ways, every single time.

Cold start, every time

Every tool call begins from zero. Your agent re-derives the same context on each run because nothing it learned last time was written anywhere it can reach again.

No memory between sessions

Each conversation forgets the last. Decisions, preferences, and hard-won context evaporate the moment the window closes — so your agent never compounds what it knows.

Retrieval is a gamble

Without a structured graph, every lookup is a coin flip on a vector DB you didn’t want to run — close-enough chunks, no real understanding of how things actually connect.

The fix isn't a smarter model — it's a memory layer. A shared knowledge graph your agents read, write, and reason over, so what's learned once stays learned.

Agents tend to forget. Cortex is how your organization remembers.

Knowledge Graph

Every app deepens
the knowledge graph

The knowledge that matters to your organization doesn't only live in uploaded documents — it lives in every channel where your team thinks, talks, and creates. Each app is a new ingest vector: another channel through which your organization's knowledge flows automatically into the graph.

Google Drive Sync

Share a folder, and it's in the graph

No OAuth consent screens, no app verification: your instance gets its own service account, and anyone — Workspace or personal Gmail — simply shares Drive folders with its email address, like sharing with a colleague. Regular files sync as-is; Docs, Sheets, and Slides arrive as PDFs.

One-Click Install
Free

OneDrive Sync

Your OneDrive folders, tracked by change feed

Connect with a simple device code — no client secret, no redirect servers — and Microsoft Graph's own change feed tells Cortex exactly what changed. New and edited files land in your knowledge graph on a schedule; updated files replace their previous version.

The Flywheel

Start to compound
your knowledge

Your organizational knowledge accumulates value over time — entity relationships, community clusters, cross-document connections. The longer you use Cortex, the more your knowledge graph reflects your specific organizational reality.

First insight — the moment the graph knows enough about your organization that an agent gives you an answer you couldn't have gotten from a generic model. That's the activation event that converts trial to retention.

01

More knowledge ingested

Documents, apps, and integrations feed the graph continuously

02

Richer knowledge graph

Entity relationships, community clusters, and cross-document connections compound

03

Better agent answers

Agents give answers grounded in your organization, not the internet

04

More teams adopt Cortex

Value spreads as every team sees agents that actually know their world

05

More integrations connected

Apps and pipelines pull in knowledge from every channel

Cycle repeats

Skill System

Skills flow
both ways

Cortex is built on the open skill standard — plain-text instruction files, no glue code, no runtime dependency. That makes the system bi-directional: pull other skills into Cortex to extend what it can do, or drop your Cortex skill into any other agent so it gains your organization's memory.

Take Cortex into any agent

Drop the Cortex skill file into any compatible agent and it instantly knows how to query your knowledge graph — no bespoke integration, no runtime dependency. Copy it in, and your agent gains organizational memory.

- Policy document auditing

## Capabilities
- Flag non-standard clauses
- Check against regulatory frameworks

One open format, both directions. Skills are portable, version-controlled, and auditable — plain text with no runtime dependency. Extend Cortex with the wider skill ecosystem, and extend any agent with Cortex. Zero lock-in, either way.

How It Works

From documents to intelligence
in four simple steps

01

Upload Documents

Drag and drop PDFs, Word docs, markdown, or text files. Cortex extracts text, chunks content, and generates embeddings automatically.

02

Build Knowledge Graph

GraphRAG extracts entities, relationships, and concepts. Your documents become a connected, traversable knowledge graph in Neo4j.

03

Query & Ask

Search with hybrid retrieval or ask questions in natural language. Get accurate answers with source citations in milliseconds.

04

Launch Apps

Browse the app library and launch integrations that extend your knowledge graph. Ingest from YouTube, the web, and more — or request a custom app built for your team.

Who It's For

One platform,
every institution

Whether you're building agent infrastructure, running a company, or curating a community's shared knowledge, Cortex meets you where you are.

For Enterprise Teams

Make organizational memory survive beyond tenure

You want your teams faster, your customers better served, and your institutional knowledge to outlive the people who carry it — and be there the moment any agent, app, or teammate needs it.

  • Managed knowledge graph with zero operational overhead
  • Upload documents, run the pipeline, agents know your organization
  • When a senior engineer leaves, their knowledge stays
  • Provision an account for every employee in the companion Cortex Chat app
  • Multi-tenant collections for teams, clients, and projects
  • Admin dashboard with visibility, control, and API key management

When regulations change, you update one document and every agent reflects the change immediately.

For Communities

Turn a community's collective knowledge into shared memory

DAOs, open-source projects, and member organizations run on knowledge scattered across Discord, forums, docs, and people's heads. Cortex gives your community one curated graph its members — and their agents — can actually draw on.

  • Curate contributions into one growing, canonical knowledge graph
  • Give members their own accounts in the companion Cortex Chat app
  • Scope collections so groups see exactly the knowledge meant for them
  • Every member's agent answers with the community's context, not guesses
  • Grows with every source added — web pages, repos, and more

New members get up to speed from day one, and the knowledge outlasts any single contributor.

For AI-Native Builders

The memory backend you build against once

You've tried vector stores, RAG pipelines, and agent frameworks — and rebuilt from scratch every time a better model drops. Memory persists. Infrastructure doesn't.

  • 60+ REST API endpoints with full OpenAPI docs
  • Hybrid search: vector, keyword, and graph traversal in a single call
  • Collections for per-agent, per-customer, per-use-case namespacing
  • Framework-agnostic — LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, or your own stack
  • Your knowledge graph persists independent of whichever framework you run today

When the next agent framework drops next month — and it will — you connect your existing Cortex instance to the new system in an afternoon.

One Instance · Institutional Scale

Set it up once.
Serve everyone.

A single Cortex instance is shared infrastructure for as many people as you need. Give your whole team accounts in the companion chat app, plug it into the agents everyone already runs, or embed it in the products you ship to customers — all reading and writing one growing knowledge graph any agent or app in your organization can draw on.

Bundled chat

Give your whole team accounts

Cortex Chat is a companion multi-user chat app for your instance. As an admin, you provision an account for every employee — each person gets their own login and their conversations are saved to their history, all grounded in the same company knowledge graph. No agent to build, no code to write: your team is asking questions on day one.

One admin, an account for everyone.

Personal agents

Enrich the agents they already run

Wire Cortex into the personal agents your team already uses — Claude Code, Cursor, Hermes, or your own. Drop in the Cortex skill and every reply comes back enriched with your company’s context, not just what the model learned from the internet. One graph feeds every agent at once.

Every agent reads and writes the same memory.

Customer-facing

Embed it in the product you ship

Already serving a B2C customer base? Integrate Cortex into the applications you sell. The 60+ REST APIs let you put grounded, cited answers straight inside your existing product, so your own customers get your organization’s knowledge without ever leaving your app.

Your knowledge graph, inside your product.

One graph underneath all three. Whether someone opens the chat, fires up their own agent, or is a customer inside your product, they're drawing on the same living knowledge graph — and collections and granular API key permissions keep every audience scoped to exactly what it should see.
