Cortex - Generative AI Document Intelligence

Cortex is an enterprise-grade platform designed to solve one of the most persistent challenges in the construction and industrial sectors: the manual handling of unstructured data. By combining the power of Generative AI with a robust AWS-native architecture, Cortex automates the interpretation of complex PDF documents, transforming them into structured, actionable knowledge.

Cortex utilizes a sophisticated, asynchronous pipeline to ensure high availability and performance:

• Secure Ingestion: Documents enter through Amazon API Gateway and an Application Load Balancer, ensuring all traffic is authenticated and encrypted via TLS.
• Serverless Orchestration: The backend runs on Amazon ECS with Fargate, providing a horizontally scalable infrastructure that adapts to your document volume in real-time.
• Intelligent Extraction: Cortex leverages Amazon Textract for initial OCR and table recognition, followed by a Generative AI model in Amazon Bedrock. This allows the system to understand context and identify key attributes without the need for rigid, pre-defined templates or statistical models.
• Secure Storage & Analysis: Structured results are stored in Amazon RDS for immediate querying and analysis, while original files are preserved in Amazon S3 for long-term compliance.

Unlike traditional OCR solutions that fail when a layout changes, Cortex understands the meaning of the content. This allows it to handle diverse document types—from technical site reports to complex industrial invoices—automatically and without manual reconfiguration.

Built using a producer/worker pattern with Amazon SNS, the platform is designed for high-volume environments. Cortex can process hundreds of documents simultaneously, ensuring that your data pipelines never become a bottleneck.

Security is baked into the architecture. Every step of the process occurs within a private Amazon VPC, governed by strict IAM roles. This ensures that your sensitive documents are processed in an isolated environment and never leave your secure perimeter.

By implementing Cortex, organizations can eliminate time-consuming manual data entry, reduce the risk of human error, and unlock the value of "dark data" hidden in legacy PDFs.

• Speed: Reduce processing time from hours to seconds.
• Accuracy: Leverage LLMs to capture nuanced data that traditional systems miss.
• Scalability: Grow your document volume without increasing your headcount.
