Cogsmith

As a developer who works with QA analyst, I was frustrated with the fragmented nature of modern development tools. I found myself constantly switching between multiple applications - one for AI assistance, another for browser automation, a third for bug tracking, and countless others for various workflows. Each tool required extensive configuration, and none of them talked to each other. I wanted to create something different: an AI-first desktop assistant that combines powerful automation with comprehensive developer tools in a single, cohesive experience. The vision was simple - tools that work out of the box, with zero configuration required. Cogsmith started as a simple chat interface with browser automation, but it quickly evolved as I realized developers needed more than just AI chat. We added: Browser Automation with Playwright for real browser control PR Review Automation to streamline code reviews Bug Reproduction Assistant to capture and track issues automatically Comprehensive Tool Ecosystem with pre-configured MCP tools (Notes, Dependency Map, Azure DevOps integration) Multi-Provider AI Support (OpenAI GPT-5, OpenRouter, Claude, Google Gemini, Local LLMs) Token & Cost Tracking because transparency matters The biggest evolution was our philosophy: buy once, keep forever. We believe powerful developer tools should be accessible and transparent, not locked behind monthly subscriptions or complex licensing. Cogsmith takes an AI-first approach to developer workflows. Unlike complex IDEs requiring extensive configuration, Cogsmith provides focused, pre-configured tools that just work. It's built for developers who want to focus on creative problem-solving while AI handles the repetitive tasks. We're excited to share Cogsmith with the Product Hunt community and hear your feedback!
