Cortex is a personal AI assistant you run on your own machine. It comes with a beautiful web dashboard, connects to your messaging channels (Telegram, Discord, Slack), remembers your conversations, and tracks your tasks — all in one `pip install`.

> **Why Cortex?**  
> Existing open-source AI assistants are either too complex (24+ channels, 50+ config files, Docker/Tailscale required) or too simple (no memory, no dashboard, no channels). Cortex sits in the sweet spot: **powerful enough for real use, simple enough to set up in 60 seconds.**

## Install

```bash
pip install cortex-ai
```

Or install from source:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/chandanhastantram/cortex.git
cd cortex
pip install -e ".[all]"
```

## Quick Start

```bash
# 1. Create config (optional — works with env vars too)
cortex init

# 2. Set your API key
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
# or: export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."

# 3. Launch
cortex start
```

Open **http://localhost:3100** — that's it! 🚀

## Features

### 🎨 Beautiful Web Dashboard
Premium dark-mode chat UI with glassmorphism design, real-time streaming, conversation management, and markdown rendering.

### 🧠 Conversation Memory (RAG)
Every conversation is persisted in SQLite. Cortex uses TF-IDF search to recall relevant past conversations when answering new questions — your assistant actually **remembers**.

### 🤖 Multi-Model Support
Use any major AI provider with automatic failover:

| Provider | Models | How to use |
|----------|--------|------------|
| **OpenAI** | GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, GPT-4.5 | `OPENAI_API_KEY` |
| **Anthropic** | Claude Opus, Sonnet, Haiku | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` |
| **Ollama** | Llama, Mistral, Phi (local) | Set provider to `ollama` |

### 📬 Messaging Channels
Connect Cortex to your existing chat platforms:

- **Telegram** — `pip install cortex-ai[telegram]`
- **Discord** — `pip install cortex-ai[discord]`
- **Slack** — `pip install cortex-ai[slack]`
- **WebChat** — Built-in, always available

### ✅ Task Manager
Built-in task tracking with priorities, tags, and status tracking. Accessible from the dashboard sidebar and the REST API.

### 📊 Usage Analytics
Track token consumption, API costs, requests per model, and conversation statistics — all in the dashboard.

### 🔒 Security
- DM pairing policy (like OpenClaw) — unknown senders must be approved
- Auth token support for remote access
- Local-first — all data stays on your machine

### 🔍 Memory Search

```bash
# Search past conversations from CLI
cortex search "python async patterns"
```

### 🩺 Health Checks

```bash
cortex doctor
```

Validates your config, dependencies, API keys, and more.

```

## Configuration

Cortex uses YAML config with sensible defaults. Create one with:

```bash
cortex init
```

Minimal config (`~/.cortex/cortex.yaml`):

```yaml
model:
  provider: openai
  model: gpt-4o

memory:
  enabled: true

tasks:
  enabled: true
```

All settings can be overridden with environment variables:

| Env Variable | Config Path |
|-------------|-------------|
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | `model.api_key` |
| `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | `model.api_key` |
| `CORTEX_PORT` | `gateway.port` |
| `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` | `channels.telegram.token` |
| `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` | `channels.discord.token` |

## Channels

### Telegram

```yaml
channels:
  telegram:
    enabled: true
    token: "123456:ABCDEF"  # Or set TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
    dm_policy: pairing
```

### Discord

```yaml
channels:
  discord:
    enabled: true
    token: "your-bot-token"  # Or set DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN
    dm_policy: pairing
```

### WebChat

Always available at the gateway URL. No additional configuration needed.

|---------|-------------|
| `cortex start` | Start the gateway server |
| `cortex init` | Create example config file |
| `cortex doctor` | Run health checks |
| `cortex search "query"` | Search conversation memory |
| `cortex stats` | Show memory/usage statistics |
| `cortex --version` | Show version |

## API Reference

```json
// Send
{"action": "chat", "message": "Hello!", "conversation_id": null}

// Receive (streaming)
{"type": "token", "content": "Hello", "conversation_id": "abc123"}
{"type": "token", "content": "!", "conversation_id": "abc123"}
{"type": "done", "content": "Hello!", "model": "openai/gpt-4o", "latency_ms": 342}
```

## Comparison with OpenClaw

| **Language** | TypeScript (monorepo) | Python (single package) |
| **Channels** | 24+ | 5 (focused, plugin-based) |
| **Memory/RAG** | ❌ Session-only | ✅ Persistent with RAG search |
| **Web Dashboard** | WebChat only | Full dashboard + analytics |
| **Task Manager** | ❌ | ✅ Built-in |
| **Usage Analytics** | ❌ | ✅ Token costs + model stats |
| **Config** | JSON5 (complex) | YAML (simple) |
