Overview
Across Europe, SMBs are losing enormous economic potential—not because of competition, but because founders are trapped in daily operations. In Italy alone, SMEs represent 95% of companies and employ nearly 80% of the workforce, yet most founders spend 70–80% of their time handling repetitive operational tasks instead of focusing on growth and strategy.
The consequences are severe: businesses leave 15–35% of potential revenue unrealized, lose €50K–€300K annually due to delayed decisions, and suffer valuation discounts because companies depend too heavily on a single founder.
Cortex solves this problem by giving every SMB access to an autonomous AI-powered executive board.
The platform includes five specialized AI executives:
• CEO — strategy and market analysis • CFO — forecasting and cash-flow management • CSO — sales optimization and conversion strategy • CMO — customer acquisition and growth campaigns • CTO — infrastructure audits and software scaling
Through an immersive dark-mode interface, founders can text or speak directly to executives, assign workflows, compare recommendations, and receive real-time, boardroom-ready insights.
Unlike generic AI chatbots, Cortex operates as a decentralized multi-agent ecosystem where executives collaborate independently, validate strategies together, and execute workflows asynchronously before presenting solutions.
Cortex is powered by cutting-edge infrastructure:
• Speechmatics enables real-time voice onboarding and hands-free interaction • Google Gemini 2.0 Flash powers rapid, high-context reasoning • Featherless AI routes advanced tasks across 27,000+ open-source models including DeepSeek • Vultr Cloud delivers enterprise-grade speed, scalability, and security
Built for SMB founders, startups, and lean teams spending heavily on consultants—or operating without strategic guidance entirely—Cortex delivers a scalable AI workforce and executive-level decision making at a fraction of traditional costs.

sentinel
Full-Stack Self-Healing DevOps & Security Copilot The Concept: An AI operations engineer that doesn't just suggest code fixes—it monitors cloud infra, detects uptime/security drops, automatically provisions fixes, and generates audit reports for enterprise compliance.
Agency Compiler
Agentic creative project compiler. Most creatives, agencies and designers dont know how to use ai, none the less agents. We created a platform that allows a creative agency or studio owner to instantly spin up agents based on the project ask, resources and scale.
ProofRun
ProofRun helps developers answer a critical question before shipping: will this update break behavior users rely on? An AI agent inspects two Git revisions, designs targeted experiments, and proposes repairs. An independent Docker-based verifier runs those experiments against both versions, preserves the original tests, and checks whether the repair actually works. Developers receive an update, skip, or postpone recommendation with recorded evidence and a reviewable patch. In a live synthetic…
