Working in your browser with your preferred AI.

You need

Your AI web account and its supported browser connection.

Qwen Web is in preview.

Conversation and project, side by side

Split Screen Bridge

Keep your AI conversation on one side of your screen and the CogentSpec work area on the other. Discuss the work, review the specification and follow the project without switching back and forth between windows.

Best for

Seeing the conversation and project together as you work.

Available for

ChatGPT and Claude desktop workflows.

Your AI’s desktop app

Desktop UI Bridge

Work from ChatGPT Desktop or Claude Desktop with CogentSpec connected to your conversation. This option uses the AI desktop interface, rather than its web chat.

Best for

Staying in the desktop AI app you already use.

To connect

Choose Desktop UI Bridge in the ChatGPT or Claude menu, then paste the supplied command into your desktop chat and send it.

ChatGPT uses $gptdesk. Claude uses $claudedesk.

Qwen on your own hardware Preview

Qwen Local Bridge

Use a browser-based CogentSpec work area with Qwen running through Ollama on your own hardware. The interface is web-based; the model runs locally. You do not need to download the CogentSpec Desktop app.

Best for

Using your own installed Qwen model instead of hosted AI chat.

You need

Ollama running, a supported Qwen model installed and a browser that can reach Ollama.

Connect to Ollama and choose your model. The work area’s help screen explains the $qwenlocal connection command.
