Cortex / Inara — Master Index

Start here. This document is a map, not a manual. Last updated: 2026-04-28

What It Is

Cortex is a self-hosted personal AI platform. It routes messages from any input channel to AI backends, manages a resident agent (Inara) with persistent memory, and coordinates across a fleet of machines. It is infrastructure, not a product.

Running at: https://cortex.dgrzone.com | systemctl --user restart cortex
