## Why Cogito Studio

Most AI desktop apps force you into a single provider, a hosted subscription, or a narrow chat-only experience.
Cogito Studio takes a different path:

- **Bring your own models** with support for major hosted and local providers.
- **Stay in control** with local storage and your own API keys.
- **Extend the app** with MCP servers and custom tools.
- **Work in one place** with chat, notes, browser experiences, and file artifacts.
- **Avoid lock-in** so you can change providers as pricing, quality, and latency evolve.

## What You Can Do

- Connect multiple LLM providers in one desktop workspace.
- Use hosted and local model backends depending on your budget, privacy needs, or latency targets.
- Attach MCP servers to give the assistant access to tools, APIs, files, and external systems.
- Generate standalone artifacts and preview them inside the app.
- Work with rich Markdown, code blocks, math rendering, and HTML-based outputs.
- Use built-in workspace features like notes, browser flows, and provider-level settings.
- Keep conversations and app data stored locally instead of relying on a mandatory cloud account.

## Supported Providers

Cogito Studio currently includes first-class setup paths for:

- OpenAI
- Anthropic Claude
- Google Gemini
- Ollama
- vLLM
- LiteLLM
- OpenRouter
- Groq
- Together AI
- Fireworks AI
- DeepInfra
- OpenAI-compatible endpoints such as custom gateways or self-hosted services

That gives users the freedom to compare model quality, cost, speed, and privacy without switching apps.

## Who It Is For

Cogito Studio is especially useful for:

- Developers who test prompts and tools across multiple model providers
- Power users who want a serious desktop AI workspace instead of a simple web chat
- Researchers and technical writers who work with Markdown, notes, and structured outputs
- Builders experimenting with MCP and custom tool integrations
- Teams that want flexibility without committing to a single AI vendor

## Quick Start

1. Install Cogito Studio for your platform.
2. Add an API key for a hosted provider, or connect a local provider like Ollama.
3. Start a conversation and switch between providers as needed.
4. Connect MCP servers to unlock external tools and workflow automation.
5. Create artifacts, notes, and browser-assisted flows inside the same workspace.

## Why Users Star Projects Like This

People usually star projects when they want to:

- Follow product progress and upcoming releases
- Support a strong open-source alternative in the AI tools space
- Bookmark a project they expect to try later
- Signal interest in privacy-first, local-first, and vendor-neutral tooling

If Cogito Studio fits that direction for you, a star helps more people discover the project.

## Local-First by Design

Cogito Studio is built for users who care about ownership and control:

- Your conversations are stored locally
- You bring your own provider credentials
- You can use local model backends where appropriate
- You can extend capabilities through MCP instead of waiting for a closed platform roadmap
