Corticorp News

An AI-curated digest that reads dozens of paywall-free outlets and gives you one synthesized summary per real-world event — not ten near-duplicate headlines. Circulating claims get checked by a transparent Verification Desk, and ongoing conflicts get their own live, map-driven situation rooms, with full-text search over every event ever published. Since October 2026 the front page is Top stories, and every story, section and situation room can be shared with its own preview card. The markets side of the app has since moved out to its own domain as Corticorp Finance.

Now its own product

Corticorp Finance

Live

Corticorp Finance

The markets work that grew up inside News now stands on its own domain. Forty-four simulated funds run side by side on the same market, each with its own stated discipline, each publishing every decision along with the reasoning and the exact inputs behind it. Around them: a Market Pulse that has become a daily markets newspaper with seven editions and four desk tools, a share card for every edition carrying a chart that fits what it says, 1,239 persisted data series, an earnings and macro calendar, and an AI Board that reviews the roster in public. Simulated, and not investment advice.

opd the Open Page Document

An open file format meant to replace PDF in the common case: one .opd file carries a clean, reflowable source in a strict subset of HTML, its fonts, and optionally a frozen copy of the exact pages, bound to the source by hash. Around it, a viewer, an editor and a PDF importer that are each a single HTML file, run offline from any folder, and never phone home. Write a document, add form fields, send it, have it filled and signed, and collect the returned copies. Built in four days in October 2026, and still an experiment.

World’s Eye View

Around 53,000 public webcams from traffic authorities, observatories and weather networks on five continents, quilted onto one satellite map as live thumbnails: volcanoes, harbours, city streets, ocean buoys and an Antarctic research station. Zoom in and a city fills with windows; watch one full screen, send several to a multicam wall, follow the cameras along a driving route, or share a view and the link carries a live preview. Frames refresh on their own schedules, so the map drifts through the day with the world.

Audio software

Plugins

A growing line of VST3 instruments and effects, built in C++ with JUCE.

CortiCorp Plugins

Real-time audio plugins with hand-crafted interfaces and zero-allocation engines. Three have their own pages so far. Behind them are five more in build, including CortKeys, CortSampler and CortDrum, which split the all-in-one CortSynth into three single-purpose instruments for anyone who wanted one of the three and not all of them.

AlgoRythmic: a plain-English description compiles to editable rules, generates a queue you preview free, then saves to YouTube Music

AlgoRythmic

A playlist builder for YouTube Music. Describe a vibe in plain English and it compiles to selection rules you can actually edit — era, length, no live versions, never the same artist twice. Or seed it with one song and weight what “similar” means: same band, same era, same country, similar mood. Preview the whole queue in the browser for nothing, then save it as a real playlist your car can play.

Taglish Live: Tagalog to English, as you speak

Built, first trials next

Real-time transcription of Tagalog and Taglish speech, with an English translation a beat behind. The software is built and, in theory, ready to use; it goes live here once it has been tried on real speech.

Background

About

I'm Cort — a software engineer with 25+ years building systems for Fortune 500 companies and startups across finance, energy, healthcare, and marketing. These days I'm focused on what happens when you put AI at the center of an application, not bolted on as an afterthought.

AI & Automation

Building applications where Claude, Gemini, and vision models do real work — generating content, scoring data, analyzing images, and driving decisions that would take a human team days.

Data Engineering

Scraping, cleaning, enriching, and visualizing data from messy real-world sources. Turning unstructured listings, photos, and text into searchable, scored, actionable dashboards.

Audio & DSP

Real-time audio synthesis in C++ with JUCE. Oscillator design, filter modeling, physical-string simulation, zero-allocation audio threads, and shipping a full VST3 plugin.

Full Stack

End-to-end: Python backends, interactive web dashboards, REST APIs, cloud deployment, and desktop applications. Whatever the project needs to ship.
