Kortext is a UK-headquartered digital learning and student engagement company, founded in 2013 and led by CEO James Gray, that supplies etextbooks, course content, AI study tools and learning analytics to higher education institutions in the UK, US, Ireland, Australia and the Middle East. Its platform family covers content delivery and reading (Kortext study, read.kortext.com), the AI-assisted study layer (Kortext study+, Kortext IQ), teaching and reading-list tools (Kortext teach, KeyLinks), library acquisition workflows (Kortext acquire), engagement analytics (Kortext insights) and the unified Kortext fusion content and data layer. Publisher partners include Pearson, Wiley, McGraw Hill, Taylor & Francis, Oxford University Press and Palgrave, and in 2025 Follett Higher Education moved its North American ebook delivery onto Kortext. Institutional integration runs over 1EdTech LTI 1.1 and LTI 1.3 (including Deep Linking) into Blackboard, Moodle, Canvas and other VLEs, plus EDI and API integration with library management systems such as Ex Libris Alma. Kortext does not operate a public developer portal; its production APIs are authenticated and undocumented publicly, and the only openly published machine-readable contract is the OpenAPI 3.1 description of its AI "labs" study-tools API.
