Cortex Natural Language Interface¶

Natural Language Control for Traylinx

Cortex provides a natural language interface for the Traylinx CLI (tx), allowing you to control agents, manage networks, and execute workflows using plain English instead of memorizing command syntax.

Quick Start¶

# Start an interactive chat session
tx cortex chat

# Or run a single command
tx cortex chat "start my agent"

Features¶

💬 Natural Language Commands¶

Instead of memorizing CLI syntax, just say what you want:

What you type	What happens
"start my agent"	`tx run --detach`
"show me the logs"	`tx logs`
"find agents that can translate"	`tx discover translate`
"stop it"	`tx stop <last agent>`

🔄 Multi-Turn Conversations¶

Cortex remembers context from previous turns:

You: find agents that can search
Cortex: Found 3 agents with 'search' capability...
You: call the first one
Cortex: Calling agent-1/search-service...

🧠 Smart Suggestions¶

After each command, Cortex suggests logical next actions based on the result:

You: start my agent
Cortex: ✅ Agent started!
        💡 Suggestions:
        1. View logs
        2. Check status

⛓️ Command Chaining¶

Execute multiple commands at once using "and", "then", etc.:

You: start my agent and show logs
Cortex: Starting agent... ✅
        Showing logs... 📝
