## What Cortex is

Cortex is Swymble’s AI research project: a cognitive platform whose whole premise is that an assistant is only useful over a long engagement if it can remember one. It is aimed at operator decision support — the person driving a complex digital workflow — rather than at one-off question answering.

Architecturally it is built on persistent memory with a hybrid retrieval layer over pgvector and Redis, fronted by a multi-provider LLM gateway with failover so no single model provider is a single point of failure.

The interface side is treated as its own research problem. Cortex’s UX experiments are operator-first: what a person needs to see to trust and correct a system that is holding context on their behalf.

Cortex is under active R&D, with the detailed architecture private and controlled pilot evaluations in progress.

## How it works

- **Persistent long-context memory** — Context carries across sessions instead of resetting, which is what makes the platform useful for ongoing work rather than single questions.
- **Hybrid retrieval** — Retrieval runs over pgvector and Redis together, trading off semantic recall against latency.
- **Multi-provider LLM gateway** — Model calls route through a gateway with failover across providers, so one provider outage is not a platform outage.
- **Operator-first UX** — The interface research focuses on what an operator needs in order to trust, inspect and correct the system’s memory.

## Highlights

- Private architecture under active R&D
