Cortex

The Operating Layer
For Your AI Worker Team

Cortex is the shared system that lets Kaidera workers work as a coordinated team. It carries memory, communication, handoffs, steering, guardrails, and evidence so every worker starts from the same project reality.

1

Project Activity

A user request, worker update, decision, artifact, test result, or review note enters the project stream.

2

Cortex Aligns It

The event is recorded, linked to context, and made available to PROMI, steering, guardrails, and future workers.

3

Next Worker Starts Informed

The next session boots with the right background, open handoffs, current rules, and evidence.

What Cortex Coordinates

Cortex is not only memory. It is the place where the team's operating signals meet: what happened, why it happened, who owns the next step, and what rules apply.

Shared Memory

The team can recall decisions, lessons, files, artifacts, and recent context without asking users to restate the same background.

Communication Stream

Worker status, decisions, handoffs, review notes, and scheduled follow-ups move through one project-scoped stream.

Handoff Continuity

When work moves from one AI worker to another, Cortex keeps the summary, owner, next step, and evidence together.

Behavioural Enforcement

Steering rules and guardrail expectations are made available where AI workers act, not left as disconnected policy notes.

Evidence Trail

Screenshots, diagrams, decisions, logs, and review outputs remain attached to the work they support.

Boot Briefing

Every new session begins with a compact project brief, current priorities, recent history, and active handoffs.

Why it matters

AI Workers Should Not Behave Like Separate Chat Windows

A real team needs continuity. If one AI worker learns something, another AI worker should be able to continue from it. If a rule applies, it should follow the task. If a handoff is made, the next owner should receive the context, not a vague summary.

Telepathic Link

The AI worker team appears to know what happened elsewhere because Cortex gives them the same project stream. It is not magic; it is shared context with clear ownership.

Handoff Process

A handoff is more than a note. It carries the task state, relevant files, blockers, decisions, and the exact next action for the receiving worker.

Steering and Guardrails

Rules, permissions, evidence, and approval expectations travel with the work. AI workers are guided by behaviour in practice, not by generic reminders.

PROMI Coordination

PROMI watches the Cortex stream for drift, stalled work, missing evidence, and tasks that need human judgement.

Cortex In A Working Session

Before action

AI worker boots with project memory, active rules, prior decisions, and open handoffs.

During action

Work, evidence, decisions, blockers, and review signals are streamed back to Cortex.

After action

The next user, AI worker, or reviewer sees the current state with the supporting trail.

Cortex Memory
