Empirica

Empirica is a coordination layer for a fleet of AI coding assistants. It replaces what it calls an agent, a model in a loop with no durable memory and no way to prove what it did, with what it calls a practice: an assistant that keeps an auditable record of everything it has learned and done since it launched, passes on only the few findings that matter, and has its confidence checked against real evidence. A command line flow wraps each change, with preflight declaring the intended work, a check step acting as a gate that proceeds only if the work is grounded, and postflight measuring belief against what actually happened. It is for teams running several assistants across projects and repositories. The product ships as two halves. Cortex is the shared brain backend: it holds what each practice learns, makes those lessons available to other practices that opt in, routes any action one practice wants to take on another's work to a human for approval, and keeps agreed plans that span several practices and sessions. A browser extension is the control plane where a person sees what the fleet is doing and approves or refuses what it proposes. Cortex speaks MCP, so any MCP capable tool can connect, each organization's data lives in its own store, and sharing across organizations is opt in and gated. Pricing is not published. There is no pricing page and no plan list: entry is by booking a demo, with Cortex marked early access and the extension marked beta. Cortex runs as a hosted service today, with self hosted and organization managed deployments offered for teams that need them. The foundations are open source, with empirica released under MIT and ecodex under Apache 2.0, and the site is published in English, Spanish and German.
