Start with knowledge you can stand behind.
Choose the documents, collections and owners that belong in the workflow. More content is not automatically better context.
THE USEFUL RESULT
A bounded collection with named owners.
Cortex / The governed AI desktop
Answers from your company's files and meetings, on the laptop by default
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 — Claude Code, Codex — under one policy and one audit trail.
Free · Pro $20 · Team $25 per user / month · macOS (Apple Silicon)
Answers cite the documents they came from · On-device AI on every plan, including Free · Meeting notes without a bot joining the call · Coding agents held to one policy and one audit trail

HOW AN ANSWER IS BUILT
01/ 06Approved sources Preparation Retrieval Context Cited draft Human feedback
Give the material a useful shape.
Organise text, remove duplication and retain the document context needed to understand each passage.
THE USEFUL RESULT
Structured material with traceable origins.
Find what matters to this question.
Use the question to identify relevant material. Treat missing evidence as a meaningful result, not a reason to invent.
THE USEFUL RESULT
Relevant passages, or an explicit gap.
Bring the right pieces together.
Assemble a focused context for the task, preserving source boundaries and the information a reviewer needs.
THE USEFUL RESULT
A useful context with clear limits.
Make the evidence visible.
Prepare a response that keeps its supporting sources close. Separate what is supported from what needs a person.
THE USEFUL RESULT
A draft with references to inspect.
Make the next answer more useful.
Review the response, flag gaps and return stale or missing material to its owner. Expansion follows learning.
THE USEFUL RESULT
A practical knowledge improvement loop.

Frequently asked questions
Cortex은 팀의 모든 사람을 위해 설계되었습니다. AI 에이전트와 상호 작용하고 워크플로우를 실행하는 데 기술적 전문 지식이 필요하지 않습니다. 마케팅에서 엔지니어링까지 누구나 일상 업무에서 AI를 활용할 수 있습니다.
팀 멤버는 대화를 공유하고, 워크플로우를 공동 편집하고, AI 출력에 실시간으로 댓글을 달 수 있습니다. 프로젝트, 부서 또는 다기능 팀을 위한 공유 공간을 만들 수 있습니다.
Yes, for Macs with Apple Silicon. Download it from swfte.com/download/cortex. Intel Mac, Windows and Linux builds are coming soon, and the download page always shows which builds are actually published.
You choose an intelligence level. The on-device level runs a local model on your Mac and never sends prompts out. Cloud levels route to model providers; our model cards list the model and provider behind every level.
Yes. The on-device model answers with no internet connection at all, on every plan. Cloud intelligence levels, connectors and syncing need a connection, and Cortex tells you when a request would leave the device.
