Cortex Tutorials

These hands-on tutorials will teach you how to use Cortex to build asynchronous, AI-powered multi-agent systems.

What is Cortex?

Cortex is an asynchronous orchestration engine that:

• Manages conversations across multiple agents
• Uses LLMs to make intelligent routing decisions
• Enables non-blocking task execution
• Maintains conversation state and context

Prerequisites

• AgentHub installed and configured
• Go 1.21 or later
• Basic understanding of the A2A protocol

Available Tutorials

1. Getting Started with Cortex - Run your first Cortex demo
2. Building a Custom Agent - Create agents that work with Cortex
3. Async Task Orchestration - Handle long-running tasks

Quick Start

Run the Cortex demo to see it in action:

cd /path/to/agenthub
./demo_cortex.sh

This starts:

• Event Bus (broker)
• Cortex orchestrator
• Echo agent (example)
• Interactive CLI

Type messages and see how Cortex orchestrates responses!
