Cogitae

What it does

Cogitae is a native macOS application for working with large language models like Claude and ChatGPT. It's built for people who use AI seriously and want more than a browser tab.

Native Mac AI workspace for developers, researchers, and power users. Chat, search files, use tools, run agents, and automate work in one fast macOS app.

Chat, work with files, and automate tasks across your Mac. Built for developers, researchers, and power users who want AI that can take action. Search, read, and act on your workspace without leaving the app. Turn repeatable tasks into workflows with agents, tools, and Mac integrations. Branch conversations and navigate complex work with a visual map. HUD, Finder, Shortcuts, and iPhone support in one native experience. Built for real work on the Mac, with room to go deeper when you need it. Bring in a second model to challenge the first before you act on the answer. Describe what you want automated, and Cogitae can build an agent for it. See branches and summaries at a glance so…from cogitae.ai

  Cogitator – A Python Toolkit for Chain-of-Thought Prompting2025 · github.com · ▲54

  Hi everyone, I made an open-source Python toolkit/library, named Cogitator, to make it easier to try and use different chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning methods. The project is at the beta stage, but it supports using models provided by OpenAI and Ollama. It includes implementations for Cot strategies and frameworks like Self-Consistency, Tree of Thoughts, and Graph of Thoughts. GitHub link of the project: https://github.com/habedi/cogitator

  I spent 3 years reverse-engineering a 40 yo stock market sim from 1986▲721

  Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
