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

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.
