Cortex — AI IDE for developers
AI coding IDE. Ship faster. Reduce context switching.
Cortex AI IDE is an agentic AI code editor for Windows. Hand off tasks to autonomous AI agents that plan, write code, run commands, and iterate. Bring your own model — your keys stay on your machine.
Cortex is an AI-native IDE built for startups that need to ship fast. Unlike generic coding assistants, it understands your entire codebase, maintains context across files, and generates production-ready code in a single agentic loop
how does it actually handle longer running tasks when it hits a wall mid-iteration, does it just stop or can you jump back in and steer it?
How does it actually handle long-running tasks when I close the laptop or lose the connection mid-iteration? Also curious whether the agents share context across projects or stay sandboxed per workspace.
How does the agent handle longer tasks that span multiple files? Curious if it loses context or needs hand-holding after a few iterations.
How does this actually handle long-running agent tasks when the IDE closes or my machine sleeps mid-run, and can it resume from where it left off?
The fact that keys stay local while still letting agents run commands and iterate is a really thoughtful balance of power and privacy. That kind of restraint in execution is rare.
finally tried cortex today and the bring-your-own-model angle is the real win, no telemetry sneaking around. agents handled a small refactor across two files without me babysitting, which is more than i expected for a windows-native ide.
Love that the keys stay local instead of round-tripping through some cloud service. The agent loop planning and iterating on its own is exactly the kind of hands-off coding I've been wanting.
finally an AI editor that actually runs commands instead of just suggesting snippets. liked that my API keys never left the machine.
Love that the model keys stay local. That kind of privacy-first choice shows real respect for developers who actually care where their data goes.
Love that the keys stay local. That kind of detail shows the team actually thought through the trust angle instead of just bolting on AI features.
Love that the keys stay local on Windows without forcing a cloud round-trip. The handoff flow to autonomous agents feels thoughtfully scoped, not the usual "AGI in a box" hype.
