Cortex

All about the core element of the Blockbrain API, the Blockbrain Cortex.

The Cortex is the conversational runtime and orchestration layer in this stack. It hosts bots (agent configurations), manages conversations (Data Rooms), accepts user inputs for completions, and aggregates artifacts created during conversations (attachments, emails, notes/insights). Use Cortex as the backend that turns agent definitions, tools, and workflows into a stateful, auditable, user-facing conversation experience.

What Cortex does

• Bot hosting: Stores and serves bot definitions, including parent/derived bot relationships.

• Conversation management: Creates and maintains conversational contexts tied to a bot and participants.

• Completions: Accepts user input and streams or returns model responses using the active bot’s configuration.

• Artifacts: Surfaces conversation-linked resources like attachments, emails, and notes/insights.

• Governance: Provides a single place to enforce auth, sharing, and audit across bots and conversations.
