Cortex is a cognitive memory layer designed to enhance AI agents by providing them with human-like memory capabilities, enabling them to remember, relate, and evolve context over time, unlike traditional AI systems that often suffer from digital amnesia. Instead of acting as a database, Cortex complements existing systems by organizing and recalling unstructured information naturally, much like human memory, with both short-term and long-term retention. It excels in areas such as product development, customer support, sales, engineering, healthcare, legal, and financial services by maintaining context and continuity across interactions, thus reducing repetitive questions and fostering more informed and efficient conversations. While Cortex prioritizes intelligence over speed, resulting in slightly slower response times, it offers significant benefits in terms of context-rich interactions and improved memory management, making it ideal for applications where understanding and continuity are crucial.
