Controller’s view: deposit the tax before the 7th to stop interest running, then clear the bank matches so the close can lock.

What Cortex is
One system of record. An AI C-suite on top.
Cortex is an AI-run ERP for growing companies: your books, payroll, tax compliance and dashboards in one place, with AI executive offices — a CFO, a Controller, a CHRO and more — that read your real numbers, check them for problems and tell you what needs doing.
Books & accounting
Sales, purchases, statements and the asset register — every figure worked out from your transactions.
Banking & reconciliation
Import statements, let AI read PDFs, and match every bank line to a sale, bill or salary.
Payroll & people
Monthly payroll runs, part payments and salary owed — for staff and directors alike.
Tax & compliance
Indian GST and TDS built in, with a filing calendar that flags what is due and overdue.
Dashboards & reports
A dashboard for each executive seat, every figure dated, refreshed from the books in one click.
AI executive offices
A CFO, Controller, CHRO, CEO and 22 more — reading your real numbers and telling you what to do.
Customers & vendors
One record per customer and supplier, shared by sales, purchases and the books.
Market & industry news
A curated feed from more than 60 sources on AI, technology, finance and world events.
Security & administration
Database-enforced isolation, roles, API keys and an append-only audit log.
How the AI works
From your entries to a decision — with code doing the sums.
Most AI tools guess at figures. In Cortex the books are computed by code, checked by code, and only then handed to an AI office to explain and prioritise.
- 01
Your data
Sales, purchases, bank lines, payroll and filings, entered once in Cortex.
- 02
Certified measures
Revenue, cash, payroll owed, credit lost — each defined once and computed by code, the same way every time.
- 03
Checks
The month-end close runs deterministic checks: unmatched bank lines, tax not withheld or deposited, credit lost, payroll gaps, filings overdue.
- 04
Findings
Each problem is stored with severity, amount, owner and suggested action — and marked resolved when a later run no longer finds it.
- 05
Judgement
The office writes the headline, priorities and its view. It quotes the figures; it never invents or adds them up.
26 executive offices
Ask the seat you need.
Each office is briefed on your company. What it can see depends on the seat — and none of them can change your books.
Read your dashboards
Work from the live figures on the dashboards for their department; the CHRO also reads payroll (for workspace admins).

Built to be trusted
Precise, read-only and dated.
Code computes, AI explains.
Totals, balances and tax are worked out by code over your transactions. The model quotes them and reasons about them; it is never asked to do arithmetic.
Read-only by design.
No office can post, edit or delete an entry. Every recommendation ends with a person deciding.
Dated, not stale.
Every figure on a dashboard and in an answer carries the date it is as of, and offices re-fetch live data rather than trusting yesterday’s conversation.
Context, not guesswork.
Each office is briefed on your company — what you sell, how you fund it, what is deliberate — so it flags real problems, not false alarms.

Who it is for
Companies that have outgrown spreadsheets — but not yet hired a CFO.
Founder-led companies
You have a business to run and no CFO yet. Keep clean books, see what you owe and are owed, and get a Controller’s month-end review of them without hiring one.
Growing teams (10–250 people)
Finance, people and sales have outgrown spreadsheets. One system of record, a dashboard per department, and AI offices each seat can ask.
Owners and directors
See the real position — cash, profit, payroll owed, filings due — dated and in one place, and question it in plain language.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is Cortex?
Cortex is an AI-run ERP for growing companies: your books, payroll, tax compliance and dashboards in one place, with AI executive offices — a CFO, a Controller, a CHRO and more — that read your real numbers, check them for problems and tell you what needs doing.
What is an AI-run ERP?
An ERP is the system a company runs its finance and operations on. An AI-run ERP adds AI that works on that same data: it reads the books, checks them, and explains what it finds in plain language. In Cortex the AI only reads and advises — every entry is still made or approved by a person.
How do the AI executive offices work?
Each office is an AI advisor for one C-suite seat, briefed on your company and given read access to the data that seat needs. Finance offices query certified measures computed by code from your books, so the figures they quote are exact. Reading company data is reserved for workspace admins; members ask the same offices, which then advise from your company brief. The AI Controller’s month-end close review records each problem it finds with a severity, an owner and an action.
Can the AI change my books?
No. Every AI office is read-only: it can query, summarise and recommend, but it cannot post, edit or delete an entry. People make every change, and every change to the books is recorded in an append-only audit log.
How accurate are the AI’s numbers?
The AI does not calculate figures. Totals, balances and tax are computed by code from your transactions and handed to the AI to quote, with the date they are as of. When a question needs a figure the books do not hold, the office is instructed to say so rather than estimate.
Which countries does Cortex support?
The dashboards, AI offices and administration work for a company anywhere. The accounting and tax engine is built for Indian companies today — rupee books, GST and TDS. More countries are on the roadmap.
