## Meet OpenCognit Desktop

OpenCognit Desktop is a command center for AI coding agents. Run **Claude Code, Codex,
Gemini CLI, Kimi and Hermes side by side** in one window — on your machine, with the
subscriptions you already have.

- **One window, many agents** — real terminals in a grid, or chat-style threads
- **Orchestrator** — describe a goal, it hands tasks to your agents
- **Guardrails** — risky commands (`git reset --hard`, force push, deploys) wait for your OK
- **Review before you accept** — test results, changed files, one-click undo
- **Live Kosmos** — watch which agent is reading or editing which file
- **Local first** — no account, no telemetry, no cloud in between

**Available for Linux and Windows.** → **[Website](https://opencognitos.github.io)** · **[Download](https://github.com/OpenCognitOS/opencognit-releases/releases/latest)**

👉 **Join the beta on Discord:** https://discord.gg/xASbhwdaS

## What is OpenCognit?

OpenCognit is an **AI agent orchestration OS** — not a chatbot, not a single-agent wrapper. It runs a **virtual company** of autonomous AI agents that work together without you watching.

You set a goal. The CEO agent breaks it down, assigns tasks to specialists, reviews their work with a built-in Critic loop, and escalates blockers — while you sleep.

```
You → Goal → CEO Agent → Dev Agent → Writer Agent → Researcher Agent
                 ↑               ↓              ↓
          Persistent Memory ←── Critic ←── Results ←────┘
```
