Pextra Cortex™

Pextra Cortex™ is an advanced AI agent integrated into the Pextra CloudEnvironment® web interface. It is designed to assist users in planning and executing complex orchestration tasks, by leveraging the open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard. Pextra Cortex™ can understand high-level user instructions and screenshots and translate them into actionable, executable plans1.

note

It is recommended to use Pextra Cortex™ through the web interface for the best experience, as it is fully integrated and optimized for Pextra CloudEnvironment®.

Refer to the MCP server repository that powers Pextra Cortex™. This allows you to use a desktop app or command-line interface (CLI) to build AI agents that interact with Pextra CloudEnvironment®.

Notes

  1. Pextra AI features are powered by third-party AI providers, as configured in your organization settings. The quality and accuracy of responses may vary based on the provider and the specific task at hand. Always review AI-generated content. ↩
