An external brain for teams & projects · Free to start

Stop re-explaining yourself to every AI.

Cortex is one brain you capture everything into — then chat with it from Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor via MCP. Capture once; never reload context into a fresh chat again.

· How Cortex works ·

Capture into one brain. Use it from any AI.

That is the whole product. Four simple parts — a brain you capture into, chat from any AI, projects to scope it, teams to share it.

Capture

One brain, everything in it.

Write a note, drop a file, save a chat, capture what you see — it all lands in one place, searchable by meaning. Stop scattering what you know across ten apps.

Chat

Chat with your brain — from any AI.

Cortex plugs into Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor over MCP. Ask a question in whichever AI you already use and it answers from your brain, with citations back to the source. Switch models any time; your memory stays put.

What did we decide about auth for the Acme project?
Searched your Cortex brain · 3 sources
For Acme you decided on short-lived access tokens with rotating refresh tokens1 stored in httpOnly cookies. The pricing call also flagged that auth had to survive model switches2, so the session lives in Cortex, not the chat.

Projects

Scoped to your Projects.

Set the active project and every AI knows which client or initiative you are in. No more pasting a 600-word brief into a fresh chat — the right context loads itself, and switching projects switches it everywhere at once.
