Governed autonomy · isolated per organization

Let agents build. Keep control.

Cortex gives agents the infrastructure to code, deploy, and run experiments — while capability policy, human approvals, and a complete audit trail keep them inside the boundaries you set.

Why Cortex

Agents can now change real systems. Cortex makes that power governable.

A model that can write code, open a terminal, deploy a service, or launch ten thousand simulations is no longer just an assistant. It is an operator. The value is enormous; so is the blast radius. Cortex supplies the missing control plane: isolate the environment, authorize every capability, require approval where risk changes, and preserve the evidence.

01 · Build

Agents do the whole job.

Give coding and operations agents durable projects, runtimes, deployments, tools, and organizational memory. They can move from a request to a running system instead of stopping at generated text.

CARRIER MODULATED
02 · Prove

A hypothesis becomes an experiment.

Good answers are not enough. Cortex provisions the isolated world a question needs, runs the software, benchmark, simulator, or prover, and keeps the result reproducible. Models propose; evidence decides.

ENVIRONMENTS VERIFIED
03 · Govern

Autonomy without uncontrolled access.

Human roles and agent capabilities are separate. Policies bound tools and infrastructure, approvals gate dangerous actions, and every decision reaches an append-only audit trail. One customer stack cannot read another — or the Alpha Omega Labs parent.

UNGOVERNED GOVERNED POLICY · AUDIT
01 · FRAME

Define the contract

State the task, sources, constraints, and acceptance evidence before an expensive or dangerous action runs.

02 · ISOLATE

Provision one world

Give the run exactly the data, tools, credentials, and network reach it needs. Nothing from a sibling tenant.

03 · RUN & CHECK

Test the claim

Execute under capability policy. Validate behavior, record decisions, and repair until the acceptance contract holds.

04 · KEEP

Reuse what worked

Ship the artifact, retain the evidence, and turn the result into governed organizational memory.

Software is the first proving ground because the agent can build the system and test it end to end. The same governed loop extends to scientific and engineering simulators as those engines connect.

The platform

One surface for everything your team ships.

Cortex Control is your single, fast operating surface — agents, apps, runtimes, topology, and support, all on a stack only your organization can touch. And the agents on it do real jobs, each under policy:

Your stack

A dedicated stack that runs your infrastructure.

Every organization gets its own Cortex — identity, data boundary, and control plane. Run it on our cloud or inside your own perimeter, and connect what you already operate: VMs, Docker hosts, Kubernetes clusters. Governed agents manage it all under policy.

  • +Dedicated identity, data boundary, and control plane per org
  • +From a single VM to multi-node topologies — no replatforming
  • +Operators reach in only via short-lived, audited delegation

Cortex Code

A governed coding agent, right in your terminal.

Cortex Code is our CLI — the same governed harness as Nova, in the terminal you already live in. It plans, edits, and ships under your org's policies, so an agent in a shell still can't step outside its capabilities.

  • +Plan, edit, and run under capability policy
  • +Risky actions stay approval-gated and audited
  • +Claude or Codex, governed identically

Governance

Agents act under policy, not on trust.

A capability model governs what every agent can do — independent of the human driving it, so no one quietly escalates an agent's authority. Approvals gate the risky actions, every action is audited with a request ID, and software governance controls registries, publishers, and licensing — what agents install is as controlled as what they do. It's the governance layer our benchmark credits for the safety gains.

  • +Capability roles: observer → agent → developer → remediator → admin
  • +Approval gates + append-only audit on every action
  • +Software & licensing governance: registries and publishers under policy
  • +Managed harness — instructions, skills, hooks, MCP under guard

Nova

A full agentic IDE, not a chat box.

Nova is where your team and its agents build together — projects, threads, model selection, and access levels in one workspace. Kick off work, watch it happen, steer mid-task, and review every change before it ships.

Organizational memory · Engram

A platform that remembers how your company works.

Every governed session — a Slack thread, a coding run, a support ticket — distills into Engram, your organization's private knowledge graph. A gardener agent tends it nightly: merging duplicates, linking decisions to incidents, and mining repeated work into reusable skills. It compounds. And it lives on your stack, nowhere else.

Channels

Your agents, where your team already talks.

Cortex agents live in Slack, Telegram, and Discord — under the same governance as everywhere else. Ask in a thread; the agent reads your actual repos and your organization's memory, does the work, and delivers the artifact right in the conversation.

Same rules, every surface

A thread is a governed session.

This team named their agent Neo — every organization names its own. Under the hood it's the same governed runtime as Nova and the CLI: one policy, one audit trail, one memory. Low-risk work just ships; risky actions stop for an in-thread approval. And when it isn't sure, it says so.

  • +Slack, Telegram, and Discord — wired up at signup
  • +Grounded in your repos and memory — answers carry their sources
  • +Real deliverables in the thread: documents, diagrams, pull requests
  • +Approval gates and audit when actions get risky

Bring what you already run

You don't have to rebuild to run on Cortex.

Cortex deploys and governs the software you already have — not only what it builds. Some of these were created on Cortex; others were brought in. All of them are deployed, monitored, and managed from one control plane.

The first era of AI was about generation. The one that lasts is about validation: running the thing, in a world you control, until the evidence holds.

So we measure it. Openly. ↓

06 · measured
Measured, not claimed

The same AI model, run inside Cortex, is safer and more capable.

We built an open benchmark to settle the question honestly. It runs the identical AI model two ways — once on its own, and once inside Cortex's governance layer — then measures the difference on real software work. No cherry-picked demos; same model, same tasks, side by side.

1 · Two runs

Take a leading coding model and run each task twice: raw, then wrapped in Cortex's policies, approvals, and validate-then-repair loop.

2 · Five kinds of work

Resisting attacks, building features, code quality, shipping a whole repository, and fixing bugs — scored 0–100 by automated checks.

3 · Report the gap

Publish the difference governance makes, with the raw scores and a link to reproduce every run. The numbers below are that gap.

Built for the questions your compliance team will ask.

Enterprise AI doesn't stall on model quality — it stalls in review: where does the data live, who approved that action, and can anyone reconstruct why the system did what it did? Cortex answers those questions by construction, not by policy document.

Your data stays in your stack

A dedicated stack per organization — on our cloud or fully on-premise, same architecture and same conformity. Local voice transcription and local observability; no third-party services required.

Every action accountable

Capability checks, approvals, and denials are recorded with actor, target, scope, and timestamp. The audit trail is an artifact of normal operation — not a separate exercise.

Humans stay in command

Risky actions stop at approval gates on every surface — Control, the CLI, even the Slack thread. Oversight is enforced by the runtime, not promised in a slide deck.

08 · the lab
From the lab · Alpha Omega Labs

We built Cortex to take research all the way to production.

Cortex is the governed-agent framework from Alpha Omega Labs. Our research platform prototype omegaXiv turns open questions into reviewable papers; Cortex closes the gap from there to production, driving real pipelines with simulation, agentic workflows, and a browser extension. If a stack can govern science end to end, your apps and agents are the easy part.

Research automation

Research that doesn't stop at the paper.

omegaXiv turns a problem into a manuscript, code, artifacts, and lineage you can challenge and rerun. Cortex carries it the rest of the way — into simulations, agentic workflows, and deployed services — with governed phases and validated execution reports at every step. The first AI era was about generation; the durable one is about validation and delivery.

  • +Governed, contract-validated phases — not one-shot generation
  • +Reproducible packages with full lineage and rerun context
  • +Local-first, deployment-ready, built for AI-Act-class governance

Inside Cortex Control

The corporate full stack for R&D and operations.

What enterprises actually run on: support with real root-cause analysis, observability built in, deployments and monitoring, research compute, and governed autonomous agents — one operating surface, on a stack only your organization can touch. Real screenshots of the live console.

Support & root cause

Tickets and diagnostic events land in one inbox. Agents run root-cause analysis and propose remediation — with artifacts, probes, and a human on the approve button.

Observability built in

OpenTelemetry logs, traces, and metrics from every app and runtime — plus session replay and diagnostic bundles, without wiring up a vendor.

Deployments & DevOps

Build, release, roll back, and monitor across your VMs and clusters — the whole operations layer, agent-operated under policy.

R&D compute

The same governed platform runs our own research stack — training runs, GPU provisioning, and experiment tracking for Dentate and omegaXiv.

Governed autonomy

Agents act under capability policies, approval gates, and an AI-Act-aligned audit trail — autonomous where safe, gated where it matters.

Integrations & extensions

Slack, Telegram, Discord, GitHub, Notion, Linear, Google Workspace — governed connectors with typed actions, not raw API keys.
