Kortix is the open-source AI Operating System a team adopts when one coding agent per developer is not enough. Cline runs on one developer's machine; Kortix gives the team shared memory, review before work lands, and a repo the company owns.
Each session runs on its own cloud computer and returns its work as a change request a person reads.
It reproduces the worst failure on its own cloud computer, patches it, and opens a change request the team reads as a diff.

9 error groups · 1 change request
It reads the shared company memory and drafts a reply, then holds the draft for review before anything is sent.
3 themes · drafts held for review
It reconciles the ledger against the bank and attaches the missing receipts for a person to approve.

Cline is an open-source coding agent that one developer runs in their editor, terminal or desktop, and it is built for the work in front of that person (cline.bot). Its rules and its context live on that developer's machine. A team where everyone runs Cline separately keeps as many private histories as it has developers, and the company owns none of them. A team has to close a different gap: where the context lives and who can see it.
When the choice moves from "which coding agent do I run?" to "what does the team run?", four things matter more than the model: where the configuration lives, what the team remembers, who reviews the work before it lands, and where the whole system runs. Cline answers those at the level of one developer. Kortix is built as the system around a team's agents, so it answers all four.
A Kortix project is a git repo, and the repo is the company. Agents, skills, company memory, connector configuration and triggers are files in it, so a team can read them, diff them and roll any part back. That is what "one git repo you own" means in practice: the configuration is text the company holds, not settings inside someone else's product. Kortix is the open-source AI Operating System, so the code behind all of it can be read, forked and audited.
Kortix keeps company memory in that repo as plain files that accumulate as the agents work. Every session clones the repo and starts on its own branch, so it begins from what the team already knows instead of from scratch. This is the difference between context that resets with each person and a company memory that compounds.
An agent works on its own branch and, when it wants to keep something, commits and opens a change request toward main. Session work reaches main through a change request. Merge is default-deny for agents. A person reads the diff and decides whether it lands, so the team gets the finished output without giving up the gate before it counts. That review step is the part a single coding agent does not provide on its own.
A platform team asks two questions before it lets agents run: who can do what, and where the credentials sit. Kortix answers both. Per-resource permissions for people and agents. Roles, groups, and an audit trail. Connector credentials are brokered server-side and never enter the machine. Approval gates you set. Off until you set them. Every action is recorded; reading, exporting and streaming the audit log depend on the plan.
Hosting is the platform team's decision. Run it on Kortix Cloud, in your VPC, or on your own on-prem network. Self-host is free. For a platform team, the whole system can sit on the infrastructure the rest of the company already trusts, with the same repo and the same review step.
At the end of the decision, a team keeps the repo, the memory inside it, the review history, and the option to move the whole system onto its own infrastructure. Kortix is open source. Read it, fork it, audit it. The Kortix docs and the self-hosting page cover the rest.
Short answers on scope, price, models, and the tools the team already runs.
No. Cline is a coding agent that one developer runs in their own editor. Kortix is the system around a team’s agents: one repo the company owns, shared memory, and review before work lands. Teams keep an editor agent for individual editing and move the shared, governed work onto Kortix.
Free is $0 with 200 credits per month and 1 project. The team plan is $40 per seat per month with 2,500 credits per month per seat, pooled. Kortix publishes current prices on its pricing page.
Kortix is model-agnostic. Any model provider with your own keys. Or the ChatGPT plan you already pay for. Or sign in with your OpenCode Console account for OpenCode Zen and Go.
Yes. 3,000+ apps in a click, plus MCP, OpenAPI, Postman, GraphQL and raw HTTP. Set each connector to Allow, Ask or Block, so a platform team decides what each agent may reach.
