Standalone AI starts from zero every conversation. Cortex maintains permanent working memory across all your Journeys - every decision, every insight builds on the last. It also applies structured reasoning: root cause analysis, assumption challenging, and tradeoff evaluation.

Questions and answers
How is Cortex different from a standalone AI chat?
Can Cortex actually find root causes or just suggest ideas?
Cortex applies structured methodology - not just brainstorming. It breaks problems into components, traces symptoms back to causes, and challenges your assumptions with specific evidence from your Journey context.
What kind of decisions does Cortex help with?
Business strategy, technical architecture, hiring, product direction, process design - anything where you need to weigh tradeoffs and think clearly. The more complex the decision, the more Cortex helps.
How does persistent memory work in Cortex?
Every conversation, decision, and insight is retained across sessions. Cortex builds a knowledge base from your work - it learns your patterns, constraints, and priorities the more you use it.
Is Cortex included in the free plan?
Yes. Cortex is available on every tier including Free. Pro and Team tiers unlock more AI capacity. See pricing for details.
