The shared brain for
your AI fleet.
Your AI practices keep an auditable, calibrated record of what they learn and do, share only what matters with each other, and never act on shared work without your sign-off.
Or grab the free honesty prompt for any chat.
Built on open source: empirica (MIT) and ecodex (Apache-2.0).
# before any change, a practice has to pass the gate
empirica preflight # declare what you are about to do
empirica check # the Sentinel: proceed only if grounded
empirica postflight # measure belief against real evidence The difference isn't the model
The same underlying intelligence either scrambles up the cliff with no gear, or climbs it equipped, roped, and tracked. Empirica is the scaffolding.
Not another agent. A practice with a track record.
An agent is a model in a loop, with no real memory and no way to prove what it did. A practice is different. It remembers, it shows its work, and its confidence is checked against reality.
A full history, from day one
Every practice keeps a record of what it has learned and done since the moment it launched. You can look back and see exactly what it did at any point in the work, and why.
Shares what matters, not everything
A practice passes on the few details that count, grounded in what it has actually learned, to the practitioners who need them. No memory dump, no noise, just the knowledge that moves the work forward.
Measured, so you can trust it
Every step is checked against real evidence, so a practice's confidence is earned, not claimed. The result is work that is auditable and reliable, not a black box that says "done" and hopes.
Open foundation, principles you can inspect
The discipline that makes this work is an open-source framework. The rules every practice follows are transparent and yours to read, audit, and run yourself. Trust is built on principles you can see.
What your fleet gains
One practice is reliable on its own. The advantage compounds when many work together.
Knowledge that compounds
What one practice learns becomes available to the others, grounded and on demand. Your team's hard-won context stops living in one person's head or one chat window.
Nothing acts without your sign-off
When one practice wants to act on another's work, the request comes to you first. A real decision point built into how they coordinate, not a confirmation box bolted on after the fact.
They agree before they act
Practices coordinate the way a careful team does: gather the facts, agree on the plan, then act. The agreed plan is recorded, so it survives long after the conversation that produced it.
Run it across your whole fleet
Cortex connects your practices into one shared, coordinated layer (the mesh). The extension is where you watch it and govern it. Together they are the product, for a single developer through a whole team.
Cortex
early accessThe shared-brain backend. It holds the calibrated knowledge your practices build, routes their requests through your approval, keeps shared plans that outlast any session, and isolates every organization's data on its own.
The extension
betaThe control plane in your browser. See what every project and practice is doing, and accept, decline, or refine the actions they propose. The single place you run the whole fleet, without opening eight terminals.
Watch and govern the whole fleet from your browser, and approve from your phone.

The free engine the product is built on. It runs alongside the AI coding tools you already use, not instead of them. Start local, connect when you grow.
empirica
MITThe framework that gives a single AI its track record and calibration, on your own machine. Think before acting, checked against real evidence.
ecodex
Apache-2.0 alphaThe same discipline for the OpenAI Codex CLI and any OpenAI-compatible model, so the AI will not act past what it actually knows.
