Deployment

Your AI agent, live in 10 minutes. Zero DevOps required.

No servers to provision. No SSL to configure. No DNS to manage. Cortex handles the entire infrastructure stack so your team can focus on what the agent does — not how it runs.

Get Started

Deploying an AI agent shouldn't take a week.

Open-source agent frameworks are powerful. Standing one up requires provisioning servers, configuring SSL, wiring up integrations, managing secrets, writing system prompts, setting up monitoring, and maintaining everything. That's a week of DevOps work — minimum.

This keeps AI agents locked inside technical teams. Marketing can't have one. Sales can't have one. Customer support can't have one. Not because the technology isn't ready, but because the deployment story isn't.

What happens when you sign up

You do this:

1.Create your account and name your first agent
2.Walk through the AI-guided knowledge interview (5 sections, ~10 minutes)
3.Connect your communication channel (Slack or Telegram)
4.Provide your LLM API key (BYOK — encrypted immediately)

Cortex does this (in the background):

All 8 provisioning steps happen automatically while you're still answering onboarding questions. By the time you finish, your agent is already running.

Not a container. A dedicated server.

Every Cortex agent runs on its own isolated server. This isn't a multi-tenant container sharing resources with other customers' agents.

What each agent gets

  • • Its own Ubuntu server (2vCPU, 4GB RAM)
  • • Its own memory stack and Memory API
  • • Its own SSL certificates and DNS subdomain
  • • Its own secrets (env files, root-owned, mode 0600)
  • • Its own knowledge base
  • • Its own systemd services and health monitoring

Why this matters

  • Isolation — Your data never touches another customer's infrastructure
  • Reliability — No noisy-neighbor problems
  • Security — Secrets scoped to your server
  • Performance — Dedicated resources, predictable response times

Automatic updates

When the underlying OpenClaw framework ships updates, Cortex propagates them to every deployment automatically.

Security patches applied without downtime
Feature improvements arrive without user action
Configuration stays intact across updates
No manual SSH, no pull requests, no version management

What you'd need without Cortex

Built for non-technical teams

No terminal required

Everything happens through a guided web interface.

No infrastructure knowledge needed

You'll never see a server, a config file, or an SSL certificate.

No prompt engineering

The knowledge interview translates your business context into structured knowledge automatically.

No maintenance

Updates, monitoring, and health checks are handled by the platform.

Your first agent is 10 minutes away.

No DevOps required. No infrastructure expertise needed.
