We've been building up to this moment for a long time.

Throughout the rest of January and February, we will be releasing:

  • (Released) Desktop app. With new floating capture and documents to take notes from anywhere on your computer.
  • (Released) Light mode. For those who aren't #teamdarkmode
  • (Released) Voice transcription. Voice-to-text in capture that is accurate and structures the text in paragraphs and lists.
  • iOS Mobile App. Android will come shortly after.
  • (Released) Kortex AI. Learn faster. Research information. Write content in your own voice, chat with your workspace or documents, reference documents with "@," and use our system prompts for posts, newsletters, video scripts, and much more.
  • (Released) Chats in capture. Kortex AI will be inside of what we now call "capture." You will be able to toggle between AI responses and typical idea capture.
  • (Released) Auto source creation. Any link, YouTube video, or PDF you save in capture will be added as a source with a transcript that you can reference with AI.
  • Full offline mode. Store files locally on web, desktop, and mobile to edit offline and increase performance.

Price Increase Information

Originally, we were going to add AI as a separate add-on like Notion and other apps. Instead, since it will be so integral to Kortex (in more ways than just chatting or asking questions), we decided to bake it into the current tiers.

Kortex AI features won't only be for chatting with your workspace or documents. In the future, it will transcribe any link or file you import into Kortex. These features will start after the ones listed above. This allows you to:

  • Read and highlight all books, newsletters, or articles in Kortex
  • Search and find anything, including images or videos
  • Connect any document or source with AI to quickly outline or write newsletters, posts, articles, video scripts, landing pages, and more.

With that, the price of both Kore and Premium will be going up at the end of January.

As of February 26, 2025 Kortex AI V1 has rolled out. You can read about all of the features here.

We still need to add more models and functionality. For now, Kore and Premium subscribers have unlimited access to kAI. When more expensive models are added, we will introduce fair quotas that allow you to use those models.

A common question is:

Why charge more than ChatGPT? Can't I just use them?

  • The Kore tier will be less expensive than ChatGPT.
  • ChatGPT charges $200/month for their highest tier.
  • ChatGPT does not have access to your workspace or knowledge as context. Being able to reference 1000s of notes, documents, files, PDFs, highlights, and sources costs a large amount of money.
  • AI is not the only feature in Kortex. You are also paying for storage. Storing 1 terabyte worth of files and videos is a lot.
  • In Kortex, you will be able to choose your model, not just ChatGPT. So, rather than paying upwards of five monthly subscriptions to use different models, you get them all inside Kortex.
  • Lastly, convenience. You get to use AI in a workspace where all of your knowledge is. You don't have to switch between tabs or applications to use AI.

Note: we may not bill based on AI requests as shown in the images below. We may charge based on weighted credits. We expect models to change frequently in price over the coming years. We will attempt to make this as fair as possible.

Here is what the planned price increase will look like.

Kore Price Difference
Premium Price Difference

For current Kore and Premium subscribers, you will maintain your current rate for life, or until you upgrade or cancel.

We are mentioning this for those that want to lock in a lower rate. If you upgrade to Kore or Premium in your Kortex billing settings, you will keep that rate for life.

We hope you're along with us for the ride this year.

We have much more planned after these releases (workspaces, adding team members, transcribing images so you can find them with search, and a new homepage that may blow your socks off.)

We will be sending out emails with each feature release, so keep your eyes peeled.

If you want to receive those emails, simply sign up for Kortex here and you will receive them.
