AI Built Into Every Module

VortexHQ integrates 7 AI providers across every tool. Use the built-in Vortex AI for free, or bring your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Groq, Ollama, or any custom endpoint.

  • Generate API Clusters — Describe an API in plain text or point to your project source code — AI creates every endpoint with headers, bodies, and auth.
  • Natural Language → SQL — Ask a question about your data, AI writes the SQL query with full schema awareness.
  • Shell Command Generation — Describe what you need in SSH terminal; AI produces the command with explanations.
  • Email Summaries & Analysis — One-click AI summaries with action items, tone assessment, and key dates extracted from emails.
  • Endpoint Documentation — Source-aware doc generation that reads your controllers and produces typed field tables with validation rules.
