Agentic AI R&D

for Enterprise Bespoke Software Development

We're rethinking how enterprise software is engineered — using Agentic AI to orchestrate distributed teams of intelligent agents across the SDLC.

Our current focus lies in research, experimentation, and laying the groundwork for enterprise-scale adoption - with a foundation built on the Microsoft technology stack.

Our vision, story and values

At ACortex, we believe software projects can be both innovative and efficient when powered by agentic AI. In this architecture, autonomous
agents work towards well-defined goals, collaborating with each other and with human experts to deliver high-impact results.
The outcome is a more agile and versatile team—one that focuses human creativity where it matters most.

Ongoing projects

We operate across multiple areas of software development to revolutionise execution — reducing repetitive workloads, improving accuracy, enhancing quality, increasing safety, cutting costs, and accelerating delivery. These are early-stage R&D projects — not commercial features or services (yet).

Agentic AI Enterprise Software engineering

Harness the power of co-ordinated AI agents at scale — each a specialist in its craft, all guided by senior human engineers.
We're designing Agentic development teams to eventually deliver production-ready enterprise software solutions faster, with higher quality, greater control, and lower cost.
Multi-disciplinary swarms of AI agents
  • Dedicated roles for requirements analysis, architecture design, coding, testing, security review, user experience, and more.
  • Agents collaborate in real time, exchanging structured knowledge graphs to keep every task aligned with the software project goals.
  • Senior engineers provide rapid strategic oversight, sign-off, and domain expertise — ensuring clear accountability.
Deployment your way: on-prem, cloud or hybrid
  • Run the entire agent stack inside your own data centre for total data sovereignty (ISO 27001 & GDPR aligned).
  • Prefer elasticity? Burst securely into the cloud or adopt a hybrid pattern with zero-trust encrypted channels.
  • Kubernetes-native micro-services make switching environments friction-free.
End-to-end, auditable DevSecOps
  • Agents generate clean, peer-reviewed code, infrastructure-as-code manifests, test suites and user documentation.
  • Every commit carries an immutable provenance record and explainability trace, meeting even the strictest AI governance standards.
  • Integrated CI/CD pipelines ship features in days, not months, with roll-back safety nets and blue-green releases.
Human control at every step
  • Interactive checkpoints enable stakeholders to accept, refine, or redirect the agents’ output in near real time.
  • Visual dashboards surface agent reasoning paths, compliance flags and performance metrics for non-technical reviewers.
Continuous improvement baked in
  • Post-launch, monitoring agents track KPIs, user feedback, and drift, automatically raising improvement tickets.
  • We iteratively refine system performance through agent orchestration, prompt design, and configuration tuning — optimising for cost, latency, and energy usage while supporting OPEX and ESG goals.

Multi-disciplinary swarms of AI agents
  • Dedicated roles for reverse engineering, architecture recovery, process modelling, UI/UX interpretation, and documentation generation.
  • Agents collaborate in real time, exchanging structured knowledge graphs to align technical details with inferred business intent.
  • Senior analysts supervise output, validate edge cases, and ensure domain accuracy across the reconstructed artefacts.
Deployment your way: on-prem, cloud or hybrid
  • Run the entire agent stack inside your own data centre for total data sovereignty (ISO 27001 & GDPR aligned).
  • Prefer elasticity? Burst securely into the cloud or adopt a hybrid pattern with zero-trust encrypted channels.
  • Kubernetes-native micro-services ensure smooth integration into existing IT environments.
End-to-end, auditable documentation pipelines
  • Agents analyse source code, UI flows and legacy artefacts to generate complete, human-readable documentation.
  • Output includes architectural diagrams, inferred requirements, data flow documentation, and system interaction overviews.
  • Every artefact is versioned, annotated with confidence metadata, and aligned with compliance or audit needs.
Human control at every step
  • Interactive checkpoints enable teams to review and refine inferred documentation and system interpretations.
  • Visual dashboards expose agent reasoning, documentation coverage, and potential knowledge gaps for expert input.
Continuous knowledge improvement
  • Post-analysis, agents monitor codebase evolution and update documentation as changes are detected.
  • We're exploring human-AI co-review cycles to help keep documentation accurate, relevant, and usable over time.

Agentic AI Software System Code Audits

In complex enterprise software, blind spots can lead to security risks, technical debt, and operational drag. We're prototyping Agentic Teams that can perform deep, multi-dimensional audits using fleets of AI agents that process codebases, configs, logs and architecture at a scale and speed no human team can match.
Comprehensive code and architecture audits
  • AI agents scan the entire codebase to identify code smells, anti-patterns, dead code, dependency vulnerabilities, and licensing conflicts.
  • Agents model the actual runtime behaviour, checking for state inconsistencies, race conditions, unused endpoints, and performance bottlenecks.
  • Results are summarised in human-readable reports, with risk scores and actionable refactoring suggestions prioritised by impact.
Security-focused deep scans
  • Our security agents detect injection risks, data leaks, misconfigurations, API surface vulnerabilities, and access control flaws across the stack.
  • Infrastructure-as-code and environment files are included, enabling infrastructure-layer audits (e.g., open ports, unencrypted traffic, key mismanagement).
  • We're working towards mapping audit outputs to compliance standards (e.g., OWASP Top 10, NIST, ISO 27001) and include reproducible proofs-of-risk.
Governance, compliance and maintainability audits
  • AI agents evaluate documentation coverage, code ownership gaps, test coverage drift, and regulatory audit readiness.
  • The project explores generating dashboards that offer a comprehensive view of system health, maintainability metrics, and legacy debt concentration zones.
  • Suggested remediations include cost estimates, risk-reduction scores, and transformation timelines.

Coding assistants are tools that help individual developers by providing suggestions, auto-completing code, or answering questions.
They improve productivity but rely heavily on the developer’s oversight and guidance.
Enterprise-grade code generation, on the other hand, involves structured, multi-agent AI systems that collaboratively plan, write, validate, and document code at scale.
These systems follow strict architectural guidelines, quality standards, and security protocols—designed for team-based software development with traceability, compliance, and production readiness in mind.

We aim to guide the AI Agent’s behaviour by aligning it with code standards before generation begins, we aim to align the AI Agent with accepted standards for code structure and quality before generation begins.
Large language models can sometimes simplify, over-engineer, or skip essential quality steps when given too much freedom. By guiding the AI in advance, we aim to ensure the output aligns with established architectural, quality, and maintainability standards.

Allowing error-prone AI agents to run critical business processes can be risky, as mistakes are often difficult to detect and correct.
That’s why we pair our AI agents with highly skilled human professionals who provide oversight, validation, and quality assurance at every step.

When agents reach ambiguous or edge-case scenarios, they flag the task for human review. Our workflow is designed with feedback loops where human engineers step in to resolve uncertainty with domain expertise.

We won’t offer a black-box AI. The aim is to build a fully customisable, traceable, and human-validated platform — not just to deploy a model and prompt it, but to support the evolution of the SDLC through intelligent, transparent automation.

Not necessarily. While current large language models (LLMs) still exhibit issues such as hallucination and deviation from expected outputs, these limitations are not inherent. It is likely only a matter of time before advancements in model reliability, alignment, and verification mechanisms significantly reduce or even eliminate the need for continuous human oversight.
