Nothing runs on a Kortex server. The call is handed to the Chrome extension on your own machine, which asks Gemini Notebook with your existing Google session — which is why Chrome has to be open, and why Kortex never sees your Google password.
Try it
Keep Chrome open with the Kortex extension signed in, then ask your assistant:
- "List my Gemini notebooks."
- "What's in my 'Market Research' notebook?"
- "Ask my 'Product Docs' notebook what our refund window is, and cite the sources."
To see what else it can do, ask "what can you do with my notebooks?" — Kortex ships a guide per area that your assistant can read.
The first call of a session can take up to 30 seconds. Chrome puts idle extensions to sleep, so Kortex has to wake up before it can answer. Every call after that is fast. If it says Kortex is not connected, see Troubleshooting.
