Cortex v0.1.0 — MVP Launch

Cortex v0.1.0 — Organizational Memory OS (MVP)

First public release of Cortex: capture organizational decisions (not documents), structure them in a Neo4j knowledge graph, and actively inject relevant context into AI agents via MCP.

Live demo

• Dashboard: https://cortex-blush-theta.vercel.app
• Workspace: local-dev → try Why CockroachDB payments?
• API proxied via Vercel Edge Middleware (CORTEX_API_ORIGIN)

What's included

• Ingestion pipeline: Kafka event bus, Slack/GitHub/Jira/Linear connectors, decision extraction
• Memory fabric: Neo4j graph schema, importance + trust scoring, CMVK verification, quarantine audit
• Intelligence: Contradiction detector, decay engine, RBAC at graph query level, GDPR erasure API
• Query API: cortex.query() with Redis cache, coverage scoring, semantic search (optional)
• MCP server: cortex_query, cortex_inject, cortex_remember — agent-neutral
• Dashboard: React/Vite UI — Ask, Explore, Agents, onboarding, e2e + vitest coverage
• Deploy: Plan A $0 runbook (docs/DEPLOY-FREE.md), Render Blueprint (render.yaml), Vercel frontend proxy

Test status (main @ 09138cf)

• 357 pytest · 11 vitest · 8 Playwright e2e — all passing

Quick start

make demo          # full local stack
make verify-phase3 # query API + MCP smoke

Architecture thesis

AI tools are stateless. Organizations are not. Cortex is the memory fabric that fixes the inference-time context gap.
