How to build a personal AI clone
Build a personal AI clone in three steps: teach it how you decide, let Cortex turn that into a living brain, then deploy it to chat, REST, MCP, and voice replies. Start at makecortex.com/signup.
1. Teach it
Answer psychology-first interviews on decisions, values, and hard lines.
Add voice notes, writing, and files so tone matches how you actually speak.
2. Build it
Cortex extracts identity, knowledge, judgment, and style into separate layers of your brain.
Review the brain in your dashboard before you make anything public.
3. Deploy it
Turn on a public clone URL when ready, or keep it private for yourself and the agents you approve.
Connect REST or MCP for software and coding agents that should consult you.
Build yours
Start at signup, read the canonical reference, or compare approaches.
