Welcome to the CortexPrism Blog
Introducing the CortexPrism blog — your source for AI agent development insights, tutorials, architecture deep-dives, and community stories from the open-source AI OS ecosystem.
Hello from CortexPrism
Welcome to the official CortexPrism blog. If you're building with AI agents — or curious about what an Agent Operating System can do — you're in the right place.
What Is CortexPrism?
CortexPrism is an open-source AI Agent Operating System that turns any LLM into a capable autonomous agent. It provides:
- 5-tier persistent memory — episodic, semantic, reflection, graph, and skills tiers with hybrid FTS5 + vector retrieval
- 60+ built-in tools — file system, git, web scraping, API calls, shell execution, browser automation, and more
- Parallax security — defense-in-depth with vault encryption, policy engine, and configurable approval gates
- Plugin marketplace — ESM, MCP, and WASM plugins installable with a single command
- Full web UI — chat interface, memory browser, session manager, and marketplace all in one place
- Powered by Deno — ships as a single binary, runs anywhere
