Cortex

AI that actually thinks.

Cortex is a reasoning engine that fundamentally changes how AI works with human productivity. Rather than pattern matching like traditional AI, Cortex thinks hierarchically—making decisions in layers like your brain while maintaining permanent memory of every interaction.

Most AI systems forget everything between conversations and generate responses through statistical pattern matching. Cortex operates differently: it has an inner monologue you can observe, builds persistent understanding of your work patterns, and makes reasoned decisions through transparent thought processes. This isn’t incremental improvement—it’s a thinking machine designed to genuinely understand and collaborate on complex work.

Cortex maps the relationships between your goals, projects, and decisions while maintaining institutional knowledge as your work evolves. It learns organically from every conversation, Socra completion, and workflow pattern, building a permanent understanding that grows more valuable over time.

How Cortex Works

Cortex processes your entire workspace context—Socras, Journeys, team conversations, and historical decisions—to build persistent, cross-cutting understanding of your work and goals. Critically, Cortex maintains this context across project changes and evolving priorities, never losing the thread of what you’re building toward.

The system uses hierarchical decision-making instead of simple response generation. Executive functions handle high-level strategy, working memory manages active tasks, and automatic patterns run routine operations. This brain-like architecture means every response has reasoning behind it—no more random AI answers that miss the point.

Cortex employs adaptive decision trees that provide fast intuitive responses for simple tasks while engaging slow, deliberate reasoning for complex problems. It learns when to think fast versus when to think deep, preventing the repetitive loops common in other AI systems by recognizing patterns in its own thinking process.

Built for Productive Teams

Cortex is designed for individuals and teams who need AI that genuinely understands context and builds knowledge over time. Because your work patterns and institutional knowledge are valuable, Cortex operates with complete data ownership—your interactions and learning remain yours with full export capabilities and transparent usage policies.

The persistent memory architecture means Cortex never starts from zero. Every conversation builds permanent neural pathways that inform future decisions. As team members join projects or priorities shift, Cortex preserves the context and reasoning that led to current decisions, maintaining continuity that traditional AI simply cannot provide.

How Cortex Connects

Cortex is the intelligence layer that enhances all socra features:

• Powers Personas with deep contextual understanding and specialized expertise
• Organizes Workspace through intelligent categorization and suggestions
• Enhances Socras and Journeys with smart prioritization and automation
• Improves Collaboration through pattern recognition and optimization

This creates an increasingly intelligent system that grows more valuable and personalized the more you use it.
