# Cortex: Beyond a general AI workspace Your models, your data, your machine. Use it as is, or we build it around your business. ## Hand it the task. Check the work. ### Your own agent, on your Mac and your phone Cola runs your routines and long-running goals on your Mac and reports back. Message it from your iPhone and it keeps working while you are away. - Message it from your iPhone - Routines and goals on a schedule - Reports when something changes ### Docs, slides and dashboards that stay editable Ask for a report, a deck or a dashboard. The Agent writes it, you keep editing the same document, and any change it makes can be undone. - Dashboards built from your files - Export to Word, PowerPoint or PDF - Undo any Agent edit ### Describe it, and the Agent designs it Posters, social posts and pages appear on the canvas as real layers you can move and edit. Images and video are generated in place. - Editable layers, not flat images - Image and video generation - Export to PNG, SVG or Figma ### Record a meeting, get the summary and to-dos Both sides are recorded and transcribed on your Mac, speakers are told apart, and the summary links back to what was said. - Transcribed on device - Speakers told apart - Decisions and to-dos with owners ### Answers from your own documents, with sources Add policies, contracts and manuals. Every answer cites the page it came from, and the citations are checked before you see them. - Cites the exact page - Citations checked before you see them - Your files stay in your library ## Bring your models.

What they change goes back into the build before more teams join. - **04 Hand it over:** Your team owns what we built and can keep editing it. We train the people who run it. ## Enterprise grade, on your infrastructure What a custom build can include. Even without one, your files and chats stay on your own machines. ### Private deployment Run Cortex and its models inside your own network. Files, chats and model calls stay on infrastructure you control. - On-premises servers - Private cloud (VPC) - Offline installer, no internet needed ### Custom agent harness We build the agent around your workflow on Cortex’s agent runtime: the tools it can call, the procedures it follows and where it must stop for a person. - Tools and MCP connectors for internal systems - Skills for your procedures - Approval steps and sub-agents ### Proprietary models We fine-tune open-weight models such as Qwen, DeepSeek and GLM on your data, so the model knows your terms, formats and decisions. - Trained on your data, run on your hardware - Federated training with FLock when data can’t move - Small, fast models built for one task ### Enterprise permissions Access is designed around your org chart: who can use which knowledge, which tools and which actions. - Three tiers, from staff to the owner’s cockpit - Knowledge scoped by team and project - Confirmation before risky or outbound actions ## Download Cortex ### Mac, Apple silicon Latest release Free to download.

Talk to us. **What does Cortex cost?** Cortex is free to download. You bring your own API keys and pay your model provider directly, or run a model on your own machine through any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Custom builds for teams are quoted per project. **Where does my data go?** Your files, chats, knowledge base and meetings stay in a folder on your Mac. A request leaves your Mac only when it goes to the model provider you chose. Meeting transcription and the redaction app can run entirely on device. **Which models can I use?** Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, GLM, MiniMax and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. In auto mode, this-that picks a model for each task from the ones you set up. **What can the agent do on my computer?** It reads the folders you give it and runs commands in a macOS sandbox. Risky steps, like deleting files or sending messages, wait for you to confirm. Plan mode lets it read and plan without changing anything. **Does it work on Windows, Linux or my phone?** Cortex runs on Macs with Apple silicon today. Windows, Linux and mobile apps are coming soon. **How is it different from ChatGPT?** Cortex works on your own files on your Mac and keeps what it makes as documents, decks and dashboards you can keep editing. It runs routines on a schedule, records meetings, and connects to the tools your team already uses. ## Links - Website: https://cortex.flock.io - Download: https://github.com/FLock-io/cortex-releases/releases/latest - Company: https://www.flock.io - Contact: hello@flock.io - Privacy: https://cortex.flock.io/privacy.html - Terms: https://cortex.flock.io/terms.html
