About

We build AI into the software service companies already run.

Most owners have tried ChatGPT. It doesn't chase estimates, check billing or build the reports. Cortex builds agents that do, inside your CRM, field software and books.

Why Cortex exists

Service businesses spent the last ten years going digital. They run CRMs, field service software, accounting, ad platforms and phone systems.

But people still do most of the work between those systems by hand.

Cortex was built to take that work off their plate.

We build AI agents that work across the software a company already owns. They help the team follow up faster, catch problems earlier and spend less time on admin.

McGuire Flanigan

Founder, Cortex

Meet the founder

McGuire's background spans digital marketing, CRM setup, automation, software integration and applied AI for service businesses.

Cortex grew out of working inside real operating businesses and seeing the same problem again and again: plenty of software, but people still coordinating everything between it by hand.

Today the focus is practical AI built around how a business actually works. That includes private AI hardware, cloud models, specialized agents, and connections to the software companies already depend on.

One of Cortex's first builds connects AI agents across several automotive service businesses, including their shop software, CRM, advertising, reviews and internal systems.
