Your agent lives where your team already works.
Cortex agents integrate directly into the communication channels your team uses every day. No new apps to install. No context switching. Your AI teammate shows up in the same conversations as everyone else.

The agent runtime
Every Cortex agent runs on OpenClaw — an open-source agent framework. Cortex manages the full runtime lifecycle.
