About Cortiq
Cortiq is an AI company that runs its own content business. We build the tools, prove them on our own channels, then hand the same engine to teams like yours.
Our mission
The biggest companies have whole departments for research, production, operations and finance. Small teams have a handful of people and a long to-do list. We believe AI closes that gap — not as a chatbot on the side, but as an engine wired into the way work actually gets done.
Research
Topic ideas, competitor channels and transcripts, gathered where the team works.
Production
Scripts, voice, edits and thumbnails moving through one pipeline per channel.
Operations
Recurring work, assignment rules and digests, so nothing waits on a reminder.
Finance
Expenses, subscriptions, budgets and AI credits — with alerts before they run out.

SI stands for Super Intelligence. Not a promise of science fiction — a standard we hold ourselves to: every tool we ship should make a small team noticeably smarter, faster and calmer than it was the week before.
Super Intelligence — for small teams.
Our story
Cortiq began the hands-on way: running faceless YouTube channels. Stories, documentaries, food, mysteries — each one needed research, scripts, voiceovers, edits, thumbnails and uploads, every single week.
The work grew faster than the team. So we automated it: AI tools that turn stories into narrated videos, workflows that move files and data on their own, and finally Cortiq Tasks — one control room for every channel, task, chat and expense.
Today that engine runs 13 channels with a small team. Now we're opening it up: as software you can use, as a service we run for you, and as custom automations built around your business.
What we believe
Every tool and playbook runs on our own channels first. If it isn't good enough for us, it isn't good enough for you.
We say what AI can and can't do, quote fixed prices, and never promise views or revenue we can't control.
Automation handles the repetitive steps. People stay in charge of taste, strategy and anything that matters.
Small improvements, delivered constantly, beat big launches that never land.
Your channels, your data, your accounts, your automations. We build where you can see it and hand over everything.
Milestones
The start
Cortiq starts as a hands-on YouTube operation — learning every step of production the hard way.

The portfolio grows to 13 channels across six genres, run by a small team.
2026
Our own control room for channels, tasks, chat and finance goes into daily use.
2026

The team
Cortiq is people first: a founder-led team that writes, edits, automates and ships — with AI doing the heavy lifting in between.
