Responding is free now. Selling is not.

The difference that matters
๐
Operational depth, not just conversation
Your catalog, wholesale rules, schedule, inventory, CRM โ all inside the agent. Meta answers questions; Cortex operates your business.
โ
Verifiable human control
Four things the agent cannot do alone: confirm a payment, invent a price, offer a taken slot, or keep talking when you step in. These are system constraints, not prompt instructions.
