Cortex: AI that understands your enterprise

9.21.2026

From disconnected data to trusted, connected insight — powered by IRIS Foundry Cortex Graph and the Cortex Agent in Copilot.

The challenge

Enterprise data is scattered across systems, leaving people and AI without a shared view. Siloed data hides how assets, orders, documents, and processes relate, making the full picture hard to see. Without traceability back to source data, AI-generated answers are difficult to verify and trust — so finding an answer often means stopping at a data lookup instead of getting to root cause.

Our solution

Cortex Graph connects real-world entities into one trustworthy structure, giving Cortex Agent the context it needs to reason across your enterprise, not just search it. Built on your Unified Data Model, Cortex Graph brings assets, customer orders, documents, labor records, and shifts together in one connected view — with every object tracing back to its source data, so you always know where information comes from and trust the insights Cortex generates.

From finding data to solving problems

Give Cortex Agent the connected, trustworthy context it needs to reason across your enterprise — not just search it.

Cortex offers:

  • One connected view: Bring real-world entities such as assets, customer orders, documents, labor records, and shifts together in a single structure built on your Unified Data Model, making it easy to see how everything fits together.
  • Traceable, trusted insights: Every object connects back to its underlying data through governed data pipelines, giving full transparency on where information comes from, so your team verifies every answer against its source.
  • AI that reasons, not just searches: Cortex Agent navigates these connections to discover related assets and information, then runs analysis — including writing and executing code in a secure environment — to answer complex business questions.

What Cortex Graph changes

  • From siloed data to one connected view of the enterprise
  • From opaque results to insights you can trace and trust
  • From simple search to AI that understands context
  • From finding data to solving complex business problems

What Cortex includes

  1. Unified Data Model (UDM): The foundation of Cortex Graph — assets, customer orders, documents, labor records, shifts, and other real-world entities, plus their relationships, are defined once and reflected across the graph.
  2. Cortex Agent in Copilot: Ask natural-language questions about connected data. Cortex Graph automatically renders the relevant nodes and relationships so you can visually explore the resulting connections.
  3. Data pipelines: Every graph object traces back to its source data for full transparency and defensible, governed insights.
  4. Secure analysis environment: Cortex Agent retrieves data, runs calculations, and executes code, returning results directly in the conversation.
