Cortex Autopilot runs the analysis you would run every Monday, without anyone remembering to run it.
What it does
An Autopilot rule pairs a play with a schedule. "Run the pipeline-risk diagnostic every Monday." "Check cash-flow projection on the 1st." Each pass executes, records its findings, and delivers them through your digest rather than into a dashboard you would need to remember to open.
The guardrails
Autopilot runs under the same authority contracts as every other AI surface in Brainis:
- ›Read-only by default. A pass analyzes and reports. It changes nothing unless its autonomy level allows it.
- ›Approvals for actions. If a pass concludes something should change, the proposal lands in your approvals queue unless you have explicitly delegated that verb.
- ›Rate and budget caps. Contracts can limit executions per hour and monetary impact, and a paused rule costs nothing.
- ›Full audit. Every pass appears in the Cortex Fleet with step-by-step replay.
What it costs
About 6 credits per pass. A weekly rule is roughly 24 credits a month. Scheduled Autopilot runs are available on the Business plan; the same plays can be run manually on any plan.
Getting started
Open Cortex, choose a play you already run manually, and add a schedule. Start with one. The most common mistake is scheduling six analyses in a week and reading none of them.
Tip: Review your Autopilot rules quarterly. The failure mode of scheduled analysis is not wrong answers; it is nobody reading right ones.
