Voice Capture
Record meetings and voice memos on desktop or mobile. AI transcribes with speaker identification and extracts action items.
Your external
cortex
An AI-powered second brain that captures, organizes, and retrieves your knowledge — so you can focus on thinking, not remembering.
Free plan available • No credit card required
Features
Everything your brain
wishes it could do
Built on the PARA methodology, powered by AI. Finally, a knowledge system that works the way you think.
Talk to Cortex
Ask questions by voice or text. Cortex understands context and retrieves answers from your entire knowledge base.
Smart Inbox
Notes, documents, and voice recordings flow in automatically. AI processes and categorizes using PARA methodology.
PARA Framework
Organize by actionability: Projects, Areas, Resources, Archive. Information flows based on relevance, not topic.
Auto Integrations
Connect Otter.ai, MS Copilot, email, and more. Your knowledge flows in without lifting a finger.
Private & Secure
Your data stays yours. End-to-end encryption, no training on your content, full export anytime.
Neural Map
Visualize how your knowledge connects. AI extracts entities — people, concepts, projects — and maps relationships that grow stronger over time.
How it works
Three steps to
total recall
Step 1: Capture
Record meetings and voice memos, add notes and documents, or import from emails and web clips — on desktop or mobile.
Step 2: Process
AI transcribes with speaker labels, extracts action items, and suggests PARA categories automatically.
Step 3: Retrieve
Talk to Cortex naturally. Ask questions by voice or text and get answers with sources from your entire knowledge base.

FAQ
Frequently asked
questions
- What is Mind Cortex?
- Mind Cortex is an AI-powered second brain that captures, organizes, and retrieves your knowledge using the PARA methodology (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archive). It helps you record meetings, take voice memos, and organize notes with AI-powered transcription, categorization, semantic search, and Neural Map knowledge graph visualization.
- What is the PARA methodology?
- PARA is a knowledge organization framework created by Tiago Forte. It stands for Projects (time-bound work with deadlines), Areas (ongoing responsibilities), Resources (reference materials), and Archive (completed or inactive items). Mind Cortex uses AI to automatically categorize your content into these categories.
- How does Mind Cortex transcribe meetings?
- Mind Cortex uses AI-powered transcription with speaker diarization (identifying who said what). You can record meetings directly in the app on desktop or mobile, or import transcripts from services like Otter.ai and Microsoft Copilot. The AI then extracts action items and suggests categorization.
- What are the Mind Cortex pricing plans?
- Mind Cortex offers four plans: Free for getting started with 100 notes and AI-powered organization, Pro ($12/month) for individuals with 10 hours of meeting recording, 1,000 notes, and Zapier integration, Teams ($20/user/month) for collaborative teams with 20 hours of recording, 3,000 notes, and shared workspaces, and Enterprise (custom pricing) for large organizations with unlimited meeting recording, advanced security, SSO, and compliance features. All paid plans include AI transcription, categorization, and semantic search.
- How does semantic search work in Mind Cortex?
- Mind Cortex uses AI embeddings to understand the meaning of your content, not just keywords. When you search or ask Cortex a question, it finds relevant information based on semantic similarity. This means you can ask natural questions like "What did we discuss about the marketing budget?" and get accurate results.
- What is the Neural Map?
- The Neural Map is an interactive knowledge graph visualization that shows how your knowledge connects. AI automatically extracts entities — people, concepts, projects, organizations, topics, locations, events, and more (11 entity types total) — and maps the relationships between them. Connections grow stronger over time as entities are referenced together. You can explore connections like "How is John connected to Project Alpha?" or get a high-level map of your knowledge themes. Neural Map is available on all plans, including Free.
- What is AI context depth?
- AI context depth determines how much of your knowledge base Cortex can analyze when answering questions. Higher context depth means Cortex can search through more notes, meeting transcripts, and resources simultaneously, giving you more comprehensive and accurate answers. Personal plans include Standard context (~15 pages of content per query), Teams includes Advanced context (~22 pages), and Enterprise provides Maximum context (~30 pages) for the most thorough AI-powered knowledge retrieval.
- What integrations does Mind Cortex support?
- Mind Cortex integrates with popular productivity tools including Otter.ai for meeting transcripts, Microsoft Copilot, Gmail for email capture, Zapier for workflow automation, and calendar apps. You can also capture content via email forwarding and the MCP (Model Context Protocol) API.
