Cogmi vs Alice

Cogmi maps your brain's cognitive performance throughout the day by combining data from wearable devices with science-backed cognitive tests. It provides a live daily brain map that helps users understand their mental state and optimize their work accordingly.

What sets Cogmi apart is its integration of real-time wearable data with cognitive testing to deliver fatigue alerts before mental crashes and early detection of brain fog. It uses AI to suggest tasks that match your current cognitive sharpness, enabling smarter scheduling of work and breaks.

Users can track how lifestyle changes like supplements, workouts, or sleep affect their cognitive performance over time. Cogmi supports both individuals and teams aiming to improve productivity and mental well-being by aligning tasks with real-time brain function. The tool is free to join and does not require a credit card to start.

Summon a desktop productivity assistant from any app with a hotkey, without opening ChatGPT in a browser tab. Alice runs natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux, wrapping chat, custom assistants, document memory, and workflow triggers into one OS-level panel.

Where browser chat tools stop at answers, Alice is built around reusable assistants and one-click skills. The Assistant Store ships 50+ personas with 200+ installable skills, and version 5.0 added inline and threaded multi-agent modes plus ACP linking to Claude Code. MCP servers and MCP Apps let an assistant query your CRM or calendar in plain language, while Zapier, Make, n8n, and webhooks handle the follow-up actions.

You can bring your own API keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, xAI, and other providers, or subscribe to Alice plans that bundle tokens for GPT-5, Sonnet 4.5, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and Grok 4. Saved prompts become keyboard shortcuts, and the app supports voice input, text-to-speech, web search, vision, and local Ollama models.

Greg Rog and Adam Gospodarczyk at Techsistence in Warsaw built Alice after years of running their own automations. The product targets founders, creators, and small teams who want desktop-speed AI that can act on their software stack, not just draft text.
