Intelligence that negotiates its own answers.
Cortex runs a swarm of reasoning agents that argue, search, and self-correct before a single answer reaches you. Analytics, memory, and tooling — wired into one inspectable surface.
1 · Illustrative figures from the Cortex internal preview benchmark (Q1 2026, single-region). Representative demo data — not a production SLA.
Four primitives. One negotiating mind.
Each capability is a node in the same graph — composable, observable, and accountable. Open the [+] on any card to read the spec.
Agents
Spin up specialist agents that hold roles, tools, and budgets — then let them debate to a defensible consensus.
- Roles
- Researcher, critic, planner, executor
- Tooling
- HTTP, SQL, code, retrieval, function calls
- Control
- Per-agent token + cost ceilings
- Output
- Signed decision trace, replayable
Reasoning
A negotiation layer where competing hypotheses are scored, challenged, and resolved before anything is returned.
- Method
- Adversarial multi-path with arbitration
- Verify
- Citations checked against source
- Escalate
- Deadlock routes to deeper model
- Confidence
- Calibrated, exposed per claim
Analytics
Every decision is a measurable event — latency, cost, drift, and disagreement, charted in real time.
- Metrics
- Cost, latency, win-rate, drift
- Tracing
- Span-level, OpenTelemetry native
- Alerts
- Anomaly + budget thresholds
- Export
- Warehouse sync, hourly
Memory
Durable, scoped memory that agents read and write — so context compounds instead of resetting every call.
- Scopes
- User, team, org, ephemeral
- Recall
- Hybrid vector + symbolic
- Policy
- TTL, redaction, right-to-forget
- Residency
- Region-pinned, encrypted
Watch the swarm think.
The Cortex console is the live agent and analytics surface — switch panes on the left; tiles wire together as the reasoning advances.
14 agents online. Researcher ×4, Critic ×3, Planner ×2, Executor ×5 — each with its own token + cost ceiling. Roles can be hot-swapped mid-orchestration without losing the decision trace.
Scoped recall, hybrid index. 3 active scopes (user / team / org) over a vector + symbolic store. TTL and right-to-forget policies enforced at write time; region-pinned, encrypted at rest.
Span-level tracing, OpenTelemetry native. Cost, latency, win-rate and drift charted per decision. Anomaly and budget alerts fire to Slack; hourly warehouse export keeps your BI in sync.
240+ connected sources. Postgres, Snowflake, S3, Kafka, REST/gRPC and webhooks become nodes the swarm can read and write — each call grounded and logged in the trace.
Guardrails as code. Per-scope redaction, residency pins, and budget thresholds are declarative. Every enforced policy shows up as an event in the same auditable feed.
Plugs into the stack you already run.
Endpoints, warehouses, and tools become nodes in the graph. Hover or focus any source to see it light up.
Ingest. Negotiate. Decide.
No black box. The chain advances as you scroll — the same path every answer takes.
Ingest
Documents, streams, and tools normalized into grounded context.
Negotiate
Agents propose, challenge, and re-ground until claims hold.
Arbitrate
Scored against evidence; deadlocks escalate to deeper reasoning.
Decide
A single answer with a signed, replayable decision trace.
