AI Native

Agile platform for human + AI software delivery

Bring human experts and specialised AI agents into one clear, agile delivery flow built around Azure DevOps.

ACortex coordinates work from story to outcome, keeps people in control of critical decisions, and makes project activity, agent instances, quality, usage, and delivery evidence visible in one place.

Powered by: Microsoft for Startups

One platform. One delivery flow.

ACortex connects your Azure DevOps project to a coordinated delivery team of human experts and AI agents.
Work moves through visible assignments, handoffs, approvals, and reviews, with dashboards for the project, every run, and each agent instance.
Humans set direction and remain accountable; agents accelerate the repeatable work.

Platform capabilities

ACortex is one software delivery platform, not a collection of separate projects. It simplifies the path from an Azure DevOps work item to a reviewed outcome by coordinating human and AI contributors, surfacing live progress, and keeping control with the people responsible for delivery.

Agile delivery, centred on Azure DevOps

Start with the work your team already manages in Azure DevOps. ACortex adds orchestration around that source of truth, connecting each story to the right human or AI contributor and keeping delivery visible from assignment to outcome.
One project delivery context
  • Link each client to a verified Azure DevOps organisation and project.
  • Bring work items, sprints, repositories, pull requests, and delivery references into one operating context.
  • Keep project identity and source records anchored in Azure DevOps.
Coordinated agile flow
  • Turn stories into explicit assignments for human specialists or role-based AI agents.
  • Manage handoffs, waiting states, approvals, and rework as part of the delivery workflow.
  • Keep every activity tied to its project, work item, contributor, and run.
Traceable delivery evidence
  • Follow runs, steps, tool calls, artefacts, usage, and errors as work progresses.
  • Connect implementation evidence back to the Azure DevOps story and pull-request flow.
  • Receive real-time dashboard updates as committed activity is projected.
Human checkpoints where they matter
  • Route protected actions and uncertain outcomes to a named reviewer or controller group.
  • Allow authorised people to approve, reject, or request rework with a recorded reason.
Continuous improvement
  • Use delivery, quality, and usage signals to understand where the flow can improve.
  • Refine roles, policies, prompts, and team configuration without losing the audit trail.

Human and AI teams, working as one

Specialised AI agents take on defined delivery roles while human experts provide priorities, context, review, and accountability. ACortex coordinates the work, manages handoffs, and pauses for a person whenever policy or uncertainty requires one.

Specialised delivery roles
  • Bring together human specialists and AI roles for analysis, development, evaluation, and platform operations.
  • Register agent capabilities and assign the right role and instance to each activity.
  • Keep business context, technical judgement, and final accountability with people.
Live agent instance visibility
  • See which agents and platform services are registered, available, assigned, or working.
  • Inspect runtime identity, version, capabilities, heartbeat, and current project scope.
  • Separate the team role people understand from the runtime instances operating behind it.
Clear handoffs and approvals
  • Track assignments and accepted or rejected handoffs as durable workflow events.
  • Send approval requests to the responsible person or controller group with a visible SLA.
  • Resume work only after the recorded decision is returned to the coordinator.
Independent quality review
  • Assess completed agent work separately from the agent that produced it.
  • Keep automated recommendations distinct from the human Accepted, Rejected, or Rework outcome.
A team that can evolve
  • Add new agent roles and capabilities without changing the way the project is managed.
  • Choose models and policies to balance quality, speed, and cost for each delivery context.

A control tower for every project

See the whole delivery picture at project level, then drill into stories, runs, and individual agent instances. ACortex brings operational activity, human decisions, quality signals, and usage context together so teams can act without chasing information across systems.
Project and instance dashboards
  • See current work, assignments, delivery status, approvals, and team activity in the active project scope.
  • Monitor agent and service instances, health, capabilities, workload, and project assignment.
  • Receive live updates without turning the dashboard into a second Azure DevOps board.
Run and trace visibility
  • Drill into steps, tool calls, artefacts, classified activity, token usage, and errors for each run.
  • Follow correlation from project and work item through assignment, agent activity, and outcome.
  • Preserve immutable decision and activity history for review and audit.
Quality, governance, and cost context
  • Review independent quality recommendations, supporting evidence, and authoritative human outcomes.
  • Apply versioned governance policies and approval rules to protected actions.
  • Make model usage and cost context visible when approved pricing is configured.

Frequently Asked Questions

A simple introduction to how ACortex fits into an existing software delivery organisation.

ACortex is an agile software delivery platform for teams made up of human experts and specialised AI agents. It coordinates work, handoffs, approvals, execution evidence, and quality review around an Azure DevOps project, then presents the result through project, run, and agent-instance dashboards.

No. Azure DevOps remains the source of truth for project identity and delivery records such as work items, repositories, pull requests, pipelines, and deployments. ACortex adds agent coordination, human control, live operational visibility, quality review, and governance around that existing project flow.

AI agents take on clearly defined roles and repeatable activities. Human experts set priorities, supply business and technical context, resolve ambiguity, approve protected actions, and make authoritative quality decisions. ACortex keeps those responsibilities and handoffs explicit throughout the workflow.

The project view brings together current work, assignments, approvals, delivery status, and team activity. From there, users can inspect individual agent and service instances, then drill into a run to see steps, tool calls, artefacts, usage, errors, quality evidence, and the decisions attached to the outcome.

Completed agent work can be assessed independently, with the automated recommendation kept separate from the final human Accepted, Rejected, or Rework decision. Versioned governance policies, approval rules, and immutable history make protected actions and outcomes explainable and auditable.

ACortex supports different levels of automation, but it is designed around accountable delivery rather than autonomy for its own sake. Policies determine what agents may do automatically and where a named person or controller group must review, approve, reject, or redirect the work. The platform continues to evolve as each capability is validated in real delivery flows.
