What is Cortex?
Cortex is Street Group's AI orchestration layer - a new product that sits above the entire Street Group product suite and gives you the power to build, run, and manage your own AI agents.
At its core, Cortex lets you create AI-powered assistants that can take action within Street and Spectre on your behalf. These agents can handle anything from small, repetitive automations through to complex tasks that require judgement, reasoning, and intelligence.
You don't need any technical knowledge to use Cortex. Everything is controlled through plain English - you simply describe what you want an agent to do, and it does it.
What can Cortex do?
With Cortex, you can:
Build AI agents that carry out tasks automatically, from drafting emails and writing blog posts to progressing sales and managing applicant enquiries.
Create chatbots that your team can interact with directly from within Street, trained on your own internal knowledge.
Upload your own knowledge so that agents have access to your bespoke processes, policies, and expertise — not just general AI knowledge.
How is Cortex designed?
Cortex has been built with two guiding principles:
Power without complexity
Agentic AI is an emerging and rapidly evolving field. Cortex abstracts away the technical complexity — you don't need to choose between AI providers, manage model reliability, or understand the mechanics of how large language models work. You focus on what you want done; Cortex handles the how.
Safety first
AI is non-deterministic by nature, meaning it won't always produce identical outputs. Cortex has been designed with multiple layers of safety to ensure you always remain in control of what your agents can and cannot do.
