Two real 'company brains' opened up live: Gorgias' in-house Cortex vs Slite
femke_plantinga · x · 2026-09-11
- Based on surveying 149 teams, 10+ interviews and tearing down 10 real "company brains," Slite will live-demo two very different builds on Sept 22: Gorgias' in-house system Cortex (Yochan Khoi) and Slite itself (CEO Christophe Pasquier).
- Both share four core components: getting signals, remembering, dreaming/pruning (keeping knowledge current), and speaking/searching — for humans and agents alike.
- Key findings: no two teams define a company brain the same way, and most in-house efforts fail not at building but at upkeep. The session closes with the real question: build or buy, with live Q&A.
