Ownership

Everything starts
with ownership

Incidents, audits, migrations all trace back to who owns what. Cortex maps it automatically across your services, models, and agents and keeps it accurate as your teams and codebase change.

“With Cortex, we know exactly who owns what, how it’s performing, and what it’s connected to. That alone has saved us countless hours every week.”

AI made stale ownership impossible to ignore

The number of services, models, and agents that need an owner is climbing fast, and with incidents up, an unowned one is a bigger liability than before.

An owner for every entity, inferred automatically

Most tools make you assign ownership manually. Cortex's AI Ownership model predicts the most likely owner for every repository and service from real signals (commit and PR activity, on-call schedules, and identity data) and fills the gaps.

Ownership that updates itself

Cortex connects to the systems you already run, from GitHub to Okta to Jira, and syncs ownership from them continuously. When an engineer changes teams or leaves, ownership moves with them.

And holds people accountable

Scorecards grade every owner's services against your standards, and notifications route gaps straight to the responsible team. When a CVE drops or an incident fires, the owner, their dependencies, and their runbooks are already one click away.

Your agents get owners, too

As your engineers ship agents and skills, they become first-class entities in Cortex with owners, dependencies, and standards of their own. The accountability you expect for a production service now extends to the AI writing and shipping your code.

How it works

01

Connect your tools

Connect your Git provider, identity provider, and the rest of your stack. Cortex discovers your services and maps ownership automatically.

02

Let AI fill the gaps

Where ownership is missing or ambiguous, the AI Ownership model predicts the most likely owner from real activity and flags what it can't resolve.

03

Stay accurate automatically

Cortex keeps syncing as people move and services change. Ownership stays current without anyone maintaining it, and every downstream workflow inherits an answer it can trust.
