Where to start
Quickstart
From new account to an agent that remembers, in about ten minutes.
Core concepts
The five ideas everything else is built on, each in two sentences.
Your work brain
Why everything you capture starts somewhere only you can see.
The inbox
How information gets in, and why nothing is ever filed behind your back.
The promise
Two things are true in Cortex by design, not by policy:- Everything you capture lands somewhere only you can see. Your own brain starts with a member list of one, you, and nobody can see into a brain they are not a member of. Ambient capture (agent conversations, quick uploads, connected tools) defaults there.
- Nothing reaches a shared brain by accident. Every write names its destination brain, agents can only write where you can write, and sharing something private is always a deliberate act: a promotion you chose to make.
