Cortex
Mission control for the AI software factory.
Cortex is an Engineering Operations Platform that gives engineering teams a current view of services, ownership, and dependencies, along with governance and standardized paths for shipping software. It addresses the problem of scattered information across tools, manual tracking in spreadsheets, and the need to maintain reliability and security standards as AI increases software output.
Core capabilities include the Context Graph, which automatically maps services, resources, teams, dependencies, maturity, incidents, and deploys from connected tools; an AI ownership model that tracks repositories, services, and AI agents; Scorecards for standards and progress; AI Impact and Eng Intelligence for measuring trends; OpEx Review Agent and Workflows for golden paths; and Cortex MCP for giving AI tools context. AI agents and skills are cataloged as first-class entities alongside services.
Cortex is aimed at engineering leaders, platform teams, SRE teams, and developers. The pages describe a live demo as the way to evaluate the product; no free plan, trial, editions, or pricing model is stated.
