Mission Control for the AI Software Factory

Code is no longer the bottleneck. Everything else is.

The Engineering Operations Platform engineering leaders trust to ship faster as AI multiplies output, without risk to reliability and security.

Every engineering organization is becoming an AI software factory

Whether you're already running your factory or still building toward it, Cortex helps you get there and keep improving.

  • Every line of code is written by developers

  • Developers prompt coding agents

  • Software factories autonomously produce software

Introducing the DRIVE framework

Operational Excellence for the AI software factory

As AI coding agents and software factories transform the SDLC, relying on existing productivity frameworks that focus solely on developer output leaves leaders flying blind.

DRIVE is designed to measure organizational effectiveness, coupled with the Operational Excellence review as a human-in-the-loop governance mechanism, so teams can confidently use AI to turn customer needs into software while balancing speed, quality, and cost.

Built with engineering leaders across the Fortune 500.

  • Find your fastest sustainable speed

  • Manage runaway risk across multiple dimensions

  • Retain human oversight as the SDLC automates

Empowering world-class engineering teams

Amanda Jackson

Technical Program Manager, Rapid7

“Walk away from a spreadsheet for a minute, and it’s already stale. With Cortex, we never have that issue. I can just trust that information is always up to date, and we can leave devs alone that have already done what they need to do.”

Egor Kalinichev

Engineering Manager

"This is the angle we look at Cortex from right now. We can utilize it so much more and improve the developer experience so much more. So that's what we're going for."

Hariprasad Babu

Manager Technology

“Cortex gets rid of the repetitive manual work so you can focus on the innovative feature development that drives real value.”

Joshua Marble

Manager of Developer Experience

“Cortex shaped how we deliver software. It gave us a foundation to move faster and build the right way from day one.”

Shaun McCormick

Principal Software Engineer

“We know if an engineer gets pulled out of what they’re doing, it takes 30 minutes to re-engage, Cortex lets us reduce noise and keep our team focused on the highest priority work.”

Javier de Vega Ruiz

Chief Software Engineer

"One of the biggest improvements we've seen since implementing Cortex is in our Mean Time to Restore- which we reduced by 67%. Being able to quickly find service information is a small operational change that has enormous impact."
