Coding agents changed how we build software. Kortix brings the same loop to all knowledge work — every agent, skill and automation is a file in one repo you own. Build it locally, ship it with one command, run it as a fleet of cloud sandboxes.
The same file viewer you get in the product — pointed at a real Kortix project.
Claude Code, Codex and Cursor changed how we build software: describe intent, an agent edits files, you review the diff. Kortix applies that exact loop to the rest of the company — every agent is a coding-agent runtime in an isolated sandbox, pointed at research, ops, support and finance instead of a codebase.
Every agent runs in its own disposable cloud VM, on its own git branch. Spin up thousands in parallel — nothing is shared between runs.
Agents, skills, triggers, connectors and policies are plain files in one repo. Diff them, review them in a change request, roll them back.
Open and source-available. Self-host the exact same stack, bring your own runtime and model keys. No black box, no lock-in.
One repo, one config, one command. Here is the whole developer loop, top to bottom.
One line installs the CLI. kortix init scaffolds your project — a kortix.toml manifest and a .kortix/ runtime — wired into the coding agent you already use.
Open Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or opencode and build. An agent is markdown — a description, its model, and the tools it can use. Skills are folders it loads on demand. Edit them by hand, or describe what you want and let your coding agent write them.

Every session is its own isolated VM on its own git branch, booting the runtime and your repo. Spawn thousands of agents in parallel — zero interference. Agents commit their work, and a change request is the only way it reaches main, so everything is reviewable and reversible.
Sessions run on an open runtime, pluggable by design. Bring your own model keys — Anthropic, OpenAI, local — or use Kortix compute. Nothing about the runtime is hidden.
Scaffold, ship, run, automate, connect and review — one CLI does it all. The same binary is pre-authenticated inside every sandbox, so agents drive Kortix with the exact commands you do.
