The AI layer
for the systems
you can’t replace.
Cortex connects your ERP, CRM, and internal knowledge to any LLM — with row-level permissions, full audit trails, and zero data egress. Built for the enterprise by Rare Crew.

The problem
Your data lives in systems that won’t be replaced anytime soon.
The average enterprise runs on 14 years of compounded systems — ERPs, mainframes, data warehouses, a dozen SaaS tools, and the Confluence space nobody has opened in months.
Most AI tools assume that data lives in one tidy place. It doesn’t. Cortex is the connective tissue that lets your assistants, agents, and copilots read the systems you already have — safely.

Platform
Four primitives. Everything you need between your data and your models.
Universal connectors
Pre-built adapters for 80+ enterprise systems — SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, ServiceNow, plus SQL, REST, and GraphQL. Drop-in, no custom ETL.
Row-level permissions
Cortex inherits your existing ACLs. If a user can’t see a row in SAP, their assistant can’t either. No new permission surface to manage.
Model routing
Route queries to Claude, GPT, Gemini, or your private model — by cost, latency, or sensitivity. Swap providers without touching downstream apps.
Governance & audit
Every prompt, retrieval, and response is logged with user identity, sources cited, and cost attributed. Ready for regulators on day one.

Use cases
Grounded answers.
Sourced evidence.
Every response cites the exact rows, records, and documents it came from — filtered through the user’s permissions before the model ever sees it.
