AI Analysis

●●SolidBold BetShip It

Generates UI widgets on desktop instead of opening app windows.

Strengths

•Generates contextual UI overlays instead of switching between app windows
•Integrates with GitHub, Linear, Vercel, Supabase, and Posthog out of box
•Voice and text input options for flexible interaction patterns

Weaknesses

•Early stage with suboptimal generation speed, admits it's not instant yet
•Crowded AI desktop agent space with Cursor, Raycast, and others

Post Description

Hey there! I’m Shiyuan, a recent college grad working on this.

Cosmo lets you interact with your computer through generative UI.

Examples:

- Type “github action status for my website” → desktop dashboard of all the action run statuses

- Speak “create a linear issue” → instant UI on desktop to select the assignee, labels, etc.

It is integrated with GitHub, Vercel, Jira, Supabase, Linear, Posthog, Google Workspace etc. so people can see charts, make edits, and complete tasks through these generated interfaces.

And everything happens on your desktop, it’s not another app window you have to switch to. We hope to use generative UI to kill app windows :P

The concept is still early, and generation speed may be suboptimal (meant to be instant, faster than human navigation on traditional UIs). But I’d love to hear if it can boost productivity somewhere in your workflow. Feedback is greatly appreciated!
