Cortex AI is BC Skills Group's flagship artificial intelligence platform, built natively into Business Suite. It combines a local LLM (via Ollama) with cloud AI fallback providers, pgvector RAG embeddings, autonomous agent workflows, and a global floating assistant panel. Cortex doesn't just answer questions — it executes actions, learns from your enterprise knowledge base, and proactively surfaces insights before you ask for them.
Strategic value
In an era where the volume of enterprise data doubles every two years, organisations that cannot extract actionable intelligence in real time are structurally disadvantaged. Cortex AI fundamentally changes the relationship between your people and your data — from periodic reporting cycles to continuous, conversational intelligence available to every employee at any moment. The strategic value of embedding AI natively within your ERP — rather than bolting on external tools — cannot be overstated. When Cortex AI operates with direct access to your live Business Suite data, it eliminates the latency, data synchronisation errors, and security risks inherent in third-party AI integrations. Your finance team queries payables in natural language. Your operations manager gets a predictive alert before a supply chain disruption materialises. Your HR director receives a synthesised turnover risk report without pulling a single report. Cortex AI also addresses one of the most persistent challenges in enterprise AI adoption: data sovereignty. With local LLM deployment via Ollama, organisations in regulated industries — financial services, healthcare, defence contracting — can leverage the full power of large language models without sending sensitive business data to external cloud APIs. This is not a compromise; it is a competitive advantage that opens AI-powered workflows to sectors previously excluded from the AI revolution. Finally, the agent framework transforms Cortex AI from a conversational tool into an operational layer. Autonomous agents can execute multi-step business processes: triggering purchase orders when inventory thresholds are breached, generating compliance reports on schedule, or escalating service tickets based on sentiment analysis. This moves AI from a productivity enhancer to a genuine force multiplier for your entire organisation.
Capabilities
The complete Cortex AI stack.
Cortex-core (On-Premise)
Run AI entirely on your own infrastructure with Cortex-core, our locally-hosted LLM engine. No data ever leaves your environment — full sovereignty guaranteed.
Cloud AI Fallback
When local capacity is exceeded, seamlessly fall back to Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT-4, or DeepSeek. You control which providers are permitted.
RAG Knowledge Base
pgvector-powered retrieval-augmented generation indexes your enterprise documents, ERP records, and business data for grounded, accurate AI responses.
Autonomous Agents
Multi-step agent workflows execute complex tasks across Business Suite modules — querying data, generating documents, triggering workflows, and making recommendations.
Cortex Assistant Panel
A persistent floating assistant panel embedded in every Business Suite screen. Context-aware to your current module and task — no context switching required.
SSE Streaming
Real-time token streaming delivers instant responses without page refreshes. Users see AI thinking in real time for maximum responsiveness.
Enterprise Data Grounding
Every AI response is grounded in your actual business data — not hallucinated generalisations. ERP records, documents, and transactions inform every answer.
Contextual Intelligence
Cortex understands your current module, selected records, active filters, and user role — delivering hyper-contextual intelligence at the point of need.
