Context

Built for the first SOON hackathon.

Agentic workflows break when context is stale, scattered, or trapped in individual tools.

The hard part

Cortex treats company context like a living shared system.

What it took

  • Built a shared database for context extracted from Slack and task activity.
  • Added a review flow that treats context updates like merging code changes.
  • Focused the UX on trust: what changed, why it changed, and who approves it.

Outcome

Produced a working backend and manager-facing interface for reviewing context changes before they become shared knowledge.
