Install CogniSphere

Five steps, and only one of them is strictly required after install.

  1. 1

    Open the Chrome Web Store listing

    Use the button below. The same listing works for Chrome and Edge.

  2. 2

    Click “Add to Chrome”, then confirm

    Chrome will list the permissions it needs to read the page you are on. Accept to continue.

  3. 3

    Pin the icon

    Click the puzzle-piece icon in the toolbar, find CogniSphere, and click the pin. This keeps it one click away.

  4. 4

    Add an API key

    Open the extension's settings and paste a key from Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, or point it at a local Ollama instance. This step is required — CogniSphere does not ship with a model.

  5. 5

    Optional: sign in

    An account only syncs your settings across devices and attaches a Pro plan. The extension works fully signed out.

Firefox users: the extension is built for Firefox too, but distribution there is not live yet. Ask us if you need a build.
