Cortex AI

Cortex AI supplies real world training data for embodied AI and robotics. It is building a large, diverse dataset of egocentric video and robot trajectories captured in real workplaces and industrial settings, and sells data collection and evaluation services to labs developing robot foundation models and world models. Its customers are frontier AI labs and robotics teams that need physical world data at scale. Cortex AI offers three services. Egocentric data for robotics world models is captured across varied workplaces, with every frame annotated for hand and body pose, depth and subtasks so the video can be used directly for robot learning. Robot data for fine tuning consists of embodiment specific trajectories collected in real workplaces through a network of industry partners, intended for training on top of existing foundation models. Human in the loop rollouts and evaluations support real world deployments with human oversight, capturing recovery data for edge cases so each deployment feeds back into training. The company also runs an operator network that people can join to contribute data collection. Pricing is not published. Engagements are arranged directly with the company through its contact form, so costs are quote based and depend on the data type and volume required. Cortex AI is backed by Y Combinator and states that its data supported the training of MolmoAct2, a robot foundation model. It is a data provider rather than a software tool, and it does not offer a self serve product or coding features.
