Is the primer really free?
“Yes. No email wall, no gate — download the PDF straight from this page. It's the same document our chat assistant can send you, and the same foundation our Cortexa Briefing sessions build on.”

Questions & answers
Do I need any technical background?
“No. The primer holds to one test: could you repeat the explanation to a client and have it land? If a term needs a glossary, we chose a different term. The one glossary that does appear defines each entry in plain words.”
What's the difference between AI and agentic AI?
“A chatbot answers; an agent acts. Agentic AI gives the model a body — tools, memory and a loop of plan, act, check — so instead of telling you how to do a task, it works toward the finished result and hands it back.”
What does Cortexa AI actually do?
“Honest, enablement-first AI consulting and implementation. We help your team use AI well, augmenting people rather than replacing them.”
Will AI replace my team?
“No. Our whole model is “augment, not replace”: we target the repetitive, checkable work so your people spend their time on judgment and craft.”
Do you just resell a chatbot or one vendor's stack?
“No. We start from the problem and recommend the simplest thing that works, often a better process before any new tool. We're also honest when AI isn't the answer.”
How do you keep AI outputs accurate and safe?
“Grounding, citations, and a human in the loop for anything that matters: the same discipline we write about in Ground Truth.”
How will we know if it actually worked?
“Because we agree that before we start. We set the measure of success up front, along with the guardrail that would tell us to stop, so the answer at the end is a number you already signed off on rather than a story written afterward.”
What does Cortexa Consulting actually do?
“We help you understand AI (what's real versus what's a myth) and how it can make your people more productive at the work they already do. We give an honest assessment of your current needs and gaps, then plan a practical, executable implementation strategy with you.”
Who is Cortexa for?
“Any size, from a small mom-and-pop shop to a Fortune 500. We're the technical intelligence partner behind marketing and advertising agencies: the agency keeps the client relationship and the craft, and we supply the technical depth. We also work directly with brands and companies.”
Do you work directly with brands, or only through agencies?
“Both. We partner with agencies behind the scenes, and we also work directly with brands and companies.”
How do engagements usually work — project or ongoing?
“Commonly either a defined project or a retainer, where we stay on hand for requirements as they come up. We're flexible to how you prefer to work.”
Where are you based, and do you work remotely?
“HQ is in West End, North Carolina. We work virtually anywhere, and we'll travel anywhere in the US. Engagements outside the continental US depend on the client and scope.”
