Cortex by micro1 is an evaluation and quality platform for AI agents. Teams use it to design tests, monitor production performance, and improve agent reliability at scale.
Cortex by micro1 is the visibility, reliability, and optimization platform for AI agents. Teams use it to evaluate, diagnose, and improve agent performance in production.
Agents are being built and deployed at massive scale without a consistent way to measure performance. Failures are difficult to detect and reproduce, performance is inconsistent across workflows and edge cases, and most teams lack representative production data to test against. Cortex closes this gap with a four-stage approach: Define real workflows and success criteria, Diagnose failure modes across realistic tasks, Improve through targeted data and fine-tuning, and Monitor continuously to maintain reliability as workflows evolve.
The platform combines evaluation infrastructure with expert-calibrated judgment to surface reasoning gaps, edge-case failures, and risky behavior that automated tests alone miss. Cortex supports three core workloads: Evaluations that create a clear source of truth for agent success, Fine-Tuning datasets that address observed failure modes, and Benchmarks that quantify performance against real-world standards and competitors.
The Standard edition provides a flexible, task-based subscription that scales across evaluation, fine-tuning, and monitoring workloads.

Four-stage agent reliability framework: Define real workflows and success criteria, diagnose failure modes across realistic tasks, improve through targeted data and fine-tuning, and monitor agent performance continuously to maintain reliability as workflows evolve.
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before it ends, access to these entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Includes 50 evaluation workloads covering evaluation design, dataset generation, and agent performance analysis, with quality and performance tracking.
This listing uses a single contract dimension billed per term. You receive up to 50 evaluation workloads for the contract period. Each workload covers evaluation design, dataset generation, and agent performance analysis, along with quality and performance tracking. Pricing does not scale by usage or tier. Instead, you commit to one fixed bundle of 50 workloads for the term. There are no separate sizes or add-on options to choose from.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one evaluation workload for billing?
One workload is a single agent evaluation project. It covers evaluation design, dataset generation, and agent performance analysis, plus quality and performance tracking. The contract includes up to 50 such workloads. Each workload spans defining the task, diagnosing failures, and monitoring reliability as models and rules change.
What happens if I use fewer than 50 evaluation workloads during the term?
The contract covers up to 50 workloads for the term. You pay the fixed contract price regardless of how many you use. Using fewer does not lower the cost. Using the full 50 does not add charges. There is no per-workload metering within the included amount.
What is included in each workload beyond the evaluation itself?
Each workload includes workflow design to define tasks and scoring, failure diagnosis where domain experts review outputs, targeted training data tied to priority failures, and ongoing reliability monitoring. This covers the full cycle from measuring performance to tracking it as models and prompts change.
