Free

A desktop workspace for running Codex, Claude Code, Grok, OpenCode, Kimi Code and Antigravity in parallel Git worktrees.

Parallel Tasks in Git Worktrees: Every task runs in its own worktree so multiple agents work simultaneously without colliding, with dependencies set when one change needs another.
Six Supported Agents: Assign Codex, Claude Code, Grok, OpenCode, Kimi Code or Antigravity per task, using each agent's own installed CLI and permission rules.
Interactive Codebase Map: Browse resolved file dependencies to trace the reach of a change and choose what to inspect next during review.
Carried-Forward Project Context: Save project guidance once; new tasks match relevant guidelines to the prompt, inherit defaults, and let you inspect what the agent actually received.
Unified Code Review: Read each result beside its original brief, combine related patches into one review, request another pass, and decide what enters the project.
Named Account Profiles: Keep work and personal agent accounts separate with per-project defaults and per-account usage tracking.
Agent Browser and Computer Use: A separate browser session per task lets agents navigate pages, fill forms, capture screenshots and run accessibility checks; Windows desktop control adds approved window clicks, typing and scrolling.
Cross-Agent Messaging: Tasks share a project inventory with ownership, scopes and dependencies, and agents can send direct task messages or project broadcasts through a durable inbox.

Running Experiments Side by Side: Try two different approaches to the same problem with different agents and compare the resulting patches before choosing one.
Reviewing Agent Output Safely: Keep every generated change behind a human review step, with checks attached to the code they tested.
Comparing Coding Agents: Assign the same brief to Codex, Claude Code and Grok to see which handles your codebase best.
Separating Work and Personal Accounts: Use the right provider account per project without re-authenticating or risking cross-billing.
Understanding a Change's Blast Radius: Use the codebase map to see which files a proposed change touches before merging it.
Automating Verification: Let agents drive a sandboxed browser to fill forms, screenshot results and run accessibility audits as part of a task.

Chrome extension that overlays an AI vision agent on any screen to decode diagrams, math, handwriting, and technical docs without leaving your tab.

Highlight-to-Understand Overlay: Draw a box over any part of the screen and get an instant explanation without leaving the active tab.
Keyboard-only Trigger: Global Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + E shortcut keeps users in flow — no mouse or context switch required.
Messy Handwriting OCR: Vision engine reads bad handwriting, photographed physical notes, and board formulas that generic OCR misses.
Native LaTeX Rendering: Complex math equations are rendered inline as LaTeX rather than raw ASCII.
Color-Coded Code Blocks: Programming snippets keep syntax highlighting when rendered in Kogvio's response panel.
Contextual Chat: Ask follow-up questions about a specific part of the scanned region (e.g., 'what does node 3 represent here?') without re-uploading.
No API Key Required: Runs on Kogvio's backend — users don't need their own ChatGPT or Gemini account.
Cross-Platform via Chromium: Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux through Chrome, Brave, or Edge.

Studying Dense Material: Students highlight equations or diagrams in PDFs and lecture slides to get inline explanations.
Decoding Technical Diagrams: Engineers and architects hover Kogvio over system diagrams to identify components and flow.
Reading Board Photos: Learners scan photos of whiteboard/blackboard formulas and get a clean LaTeX transcription.
Understanding Code in Docs: Developers highlight code snippets in technical documentation for quick contextual explanation.
Rapid Research: Analysts working through equations or notation in academic papers ask follow-ups without leaving the page.
Handwritten Note Digitisation: Users scan photographed personal notes into readable, formatted content.
