# Cortex AI platform > Cortex helps companies build apps, manage AI agents, and connect authorized resources in a shared workspace. When to use Cortex: shipment exception workflows, customer intake, daily handovers, and company knowledge assistants. Use the public documentation MCP at https://usecortex.co/mcp to read product guidance. Tenant actions require a separately configured gateway, service-account credentials, and resource grants. This website cannot access tenant data.
