Cortex FAQs

Question 1

How does Cortex ensure data security and privacy?

Accepted Answer

Cortex encrypts all knowledge at rest using AES-256 with unique per-user encryption keys, meaning even UseCortex cannot read your data. All communication is also secured over HTTPS.

Question 2

What is 'two-way knowledge flow' in Cortex?

Accepted Answer

Two-way knowledge flow means your AI agent can not only retrieve information (read) from Cortex but also store new discoveries, decisions, or patterns it finds (write) back into your knowledge base, keeping it dynamic and up-to-date.

Question 3

What is Cortex and how does it benefit AI coding agents?

Accepted Answer

Cortex provides AI coding agents with persistent, structured memory, enabling them to read and write knowledge from any tool. It allows agents to remember coding standards, architecture decisions, and project context, eliminating context window limits and keeping knowledge current automatically.

Question 4

Is Cortex compatible with my existing AI coding agent?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Cortex is built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and is compatible with any AI coding agent that supports MCP, ensuring broad compatibility and no vendor lock-in.

Question 5

Can Cortex help with managing past AI session memories?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with a 'Memory plan', Cortex allows you to capture AI session summaries, store what you learned or built, and then recall these memories later using AI. This helps you track progress and decisions across projects and tools.
