## FAQ

### What operating systems does Cortex support?

Cortex is designed for Windows 10, 11, and Windows Server with an interactive display session. It does not support headless mode.

### Does Cortex require a vision API key to function?

No, the deterministic surface of the server does not call a model, so no vision API key is required.

### How does Cortex ensure actions are successful?

The server uses semantic verification to check if the intended state transition actually occurred after an action is executed.

### Can I record the screen during a session?

Yes, the server includes tools to record 0.5–10 seconds of the screen and collect change timelines or MP4 videos.
