Cortex is the governed AI desktop: it answers from your company's files and meetings, runs on the laptop by default so sensitive work never leaves it, and puts every AI agent your engineers use under one policy and one audit trail. The links below are checked against the release host, so a platform only shows a download once its build is actually published.
