👋 Hey Product Hunt! I'm Hamza, founder of CortexEDR. I just turned 20, studying CS in Pakistan, and I just spent 3 months building something that might change how indie developers think about security. 🧠 THE STORY Last November, I published research on AGI architectures inspired by the human prefrontal cortex. The core idea: don't use one massive AI model, coordinate specialized agents like your brain coordinates thinking. Then last week, Anthropic launched Claude Code Security and disrupted $15B in cybersecurity stocks. The market validated what I already knew: AI-powered security is the future. But their solution is for enterprises. Tools like Snyk cost $500-2,000/month. That's insane for indie developers building side projects. So I built CortexEDR. WHAT IT DOES 7 specialized AI agents analyze your entire codebase in 2 minutes: - Security Scanner → Finds SQL injection, XSS, hardcoded secrets - Architecture Analyzer → Reviews design patterns - Code Quality → Checks best practices - Technical Debt → Identifies maintenance issues - AI-Specific Detection → Catches Cursor/Copilot/ChatGPT mistakes - Plus 2 more specialized agents All coordinated by an orchestrator, like your prefrontal cortex coordinates your brain. THE GAME-CHANGER: CORTEX CHAT This isn't just another scanner that dumps a PDF report. After scanning, you can chat with Cortex—an AI advisor with complete knowledge of your codebase. Ask "Why is line 83 vulnerable?" Get explanations with file references. Discuss architecture. Get strategic advice. ChatGPT can't do this. It doesn't know your code. Cortex does. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT ✓ Brain-inspired architecture (based on real AGI research) ✓ First tool built for AI-generated code patterns ✓ Real-time agent visualization (watch them work) ✓ Conversational AI advisor (not just reports) ✓ $9/month (vs $500-2,000 enterprise tools) THE ECONOMICS Cost per scan: $0.0016 That's right, less than a penny. Enterprise depth at indie cost. LAUNCH SPECIAL First 100 customers get lifetime 50% off: - Starter: $4.50/month FOREVER (normally $9) - Team: $24.50/month FOREVER (normally $49) This isn't a promotion. It's founder pricing for early believers. When you're customer #47, you're part of the founding cohort. When we're at 10,000 customers, you'll still be paying $4.50/month. ❓ I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANYTHING Ask me about: - The brain-inspired architecture - How the 7 agents work together - The AI model economics - Future roadmap (GitHub Actions, auto-fix PRs, etc.) - Why I built this - Technical implementation - Literally anything HOW YOU CAN HELP If this resonates with you: - Try the free tier (5-10 scans, no credit card) - Share your feedback (brutal honesty appreciated) - Upvote if you think this should exist - Tell a developer friend Building for developers, by a developer. Let's democratize security. — Hamza Hafeez P.S.
