What EdCortex does

EdCortex (trading name of MetaGlobe, SIRET 92857854100015) is a Paris-based, founder-led DeepTech B2B company founded in 2024 that sells neuroscience-grounded AI personalization infrastructure to EdTech platforms and enterprise Learning & Development functions. Its core product is the Cognitive Intelligence Platform built around a 6-Profile Cognitive Modulation Engine, a 75-question cognitive profiling methodology analyzed via Exploratory Factor Analysis and Latent Profile Analysis, and 30 distinct weekly cognitive KPIs (including Attention Decay, Working Memory Load, and Fatigue Onset). The company distributes via three layers: a Cognitive Recommender Engine API that integrates with existing LMS infrastructure (Moodle, Canvas, proprietary stacks) without altering the native UI; a Hyper-Personalized Learning Platform module; and add-on services spanning secure RAG-based course generation, predictive analytics (attrition risk, strategic forecasting), and nudge-based behavioral reinforcements.

Revenue mechanics rely on per-user annual SaaS subscriptions priced at €120, €150, and €180 per active end-user per year across Essentials, Professional, and Strategic tiers, plus custom enterprise contracts on multi-year terms; onboarding hours (3-10 days depending on tier) are bundled. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with a 3-month Proof-of-Value motion initiated through the website contact form and strategic briefing requests, alongside a self-serve EdCortex Hub developer portal targeting mid-market. Target customers split between EdTech/LMS providers integrating the API as an embedded intelligence layer and high-stakes industry enterprises (finance, healthcare, defense, aviation) deploying workforce cognitive optimization. The company is heavily reliant on French public sector validation, holding the Bourse FrenchTech Émergence DeepTech (January 2025), FrenchTech Seed (July 2025), and JEI-R (September 2025) designations, alongside UNESCO Global Education Coalition membership; CEO Milad Ekramnia leads with support from a research bench comprising PhD cognitive neuroscientists from Neurospin/CEA and ENS Paris and a senior advisory board that includes former UK Minister of Education Sir Nick Gibb.

Core offering

EdCortex provides a neuroscience-based AI platform that delivers cognitive profiling, adaptive learning recommendations, and workforce cognitive optimization through its Cognitive Recommender API and Hyper-Personalized Learning Platform. The company integrates with existing LMS infrastructure (Moodle, Canvas, or proprietary stacks) to transform static content repositories into cognitive adaptive ecosystems using a 6-Profile Modulation Engine, 30 cognitive KPIs, RAG-based content generation, and predictive analytics. It serves EdTech platforms and high-stakes industry enterprises (finance, healthcare, defense, aviation) seeking to personalize upskilling and manage cognitive load at scale.

Product overview

EdCortex offers a modular platform-plus-services architecture centered on its Cognitive Intelligence Platform for workforce cognitive optimization and Hyper-Personalized Learning Platform. The core offering is complemented by specialized services including the Cognitive Recommender Engine API (API product for LMS integration), Cognitive Profiling, Nudge-based Reinforcements, Predictive Analytics, and Content Optimizer (RAG-based course generation). The platform unifies upskilling and workforce cognitive optimization, using neuroscience-based AI to continuously monitor focus, motivation, and fatigue while delivering adaptive reinforcement. EdCortex Hub serves as the developer portal for API access and platform management.

Products and services

• EdCortex Cognitive Intelligence Platform The main platform that integrates neuroscience and AI to optimize workforce learning and performance. Continuously profiles cognitive patterns, detects fatigue or disengagement, and delivers adaptive recommendations and micro-trainings while monitoring 18 real-time cognitive metrics to report 30 weekly cognitive and wellbeing KPIs.
• Cognitive Recommender Engine API API platform that upgrades existing LMS infrastructure (Moodle, Canvas, or proprietary stacks) into a cognitive adaptive ecosystem. Features a 6-Profile Modulation Engine for dynamic user classification and real-time automated adaptations including difficulty adjustment, adaptive notifications, error tolerance tuning, and gamification modulation.
• Hyper-Personalized Learning Platform Adaptive LMS that transforms existing content into a cognitive adaptive ecosystem using real-time cognitive data. Features Secure RAG-Based Automated Course Generation, Hyper-Personalized Modulation across 6 distinct learning profiles, Nudge-Based Skill Reinforcement, Predictive Cognitive Analytics, and Neuro-Inclusivity support for neurodivergent users.
• Cognitive Profiling Service that builds detailed cognitive profiles for every learner using a 75-question cognitive survey. Employs Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) with Bayesian Information Criterion optimization to identify distinct learner profiles capturing cognitive, meta-cognitive traits, neurodiversity, gender, and socio-economic influences.
• Nudge-based Reinforcements Behavioral Economics-based service that delivers micro-interventions exactly when the learner's brain is most receptive. Integrates insights from Behavioral Economics into personalized incentives and micro-interventions that promote habit formation and transform sporadic training into continuous daily learning routines.
• Predictive Analytics Analytics service that applies advanced Machine Learning techniques to cognitive and behavioral metadata. Generates holistic cognitive performance profiles with interactive dashboards for real-time monitoring, early warning systems for cognitive overload detection, and ROI tracking correlating learning progress with cognitive improvements.
• Content Optimizer (RAG-Based Course Generation) AI-driven tool that transforms internal documents into structured learning content using Retrieval-Augmented Generation.
