Question 1

What is Kosmo?

Accepted Answer

Kosmo is an AI prompt compiler. You describe what you need in plain English; Kosmo turns it into a structured, tool-aware prompt specification grounded in current documentation — ready to paste into any AI tool like ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor.

Question 2

What is a "compile" in Kosmo?

Accepted Answer

A compile is one end-to-end processing run: Kosmo takes your plain-language input, fetches relevant live documentation for the target AI tool, applies expert guardrails, and returns a structured output artifact. Each compile costs 1 credit.

Question 3

How is Kosmo different from just using ChatGPT directly?

Accepted Answer

Kosmo is not a chatbot — it is a compiler. It produces structured output artifacts (system prompts, agent specs, instruction sets) grounded in the latest documentation for your target tool. ChatGPT answers questions; Kosmo produces deployable specifications.

Question 4

What AI tools does Kosmo support?

Accepted Answer

Kosmo produces output optimised for Cursor, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, and other major AI tools. It fetches live documentation from each tool before generating your prompt.

Question 5

What is Vent Mode?

Accepted Answer

Vent Mode is a mirror of your main chat that keeps the same context, so you can ask a basic question, vent about a bug, or go on a tangent without any of it touching your main thread. It's a real back-and-forth conversation, not a one-way inbox, and it never produces a compiled prompt. Nothing you say there gets saved automatically; if something's worth keeping, you save it to your Idea Library yourself.

Question 6

How does Kosmo pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Kosmo offers three tiers: Pay As You Go (8 free compiles, no card required, then a $5 top-up for 10 more compiles), Pro Creator ($15/month for 100 compiles), and Kosmo Max ($39/month for 300 compiles plus an extra verification pass and priority processing). Pricing is in preview and subject to change before public launch.

Question 7

What do you mean by "babysitting" AI?

Accepted Answer

If you use AI every day, you know the frustrating cycle: The Correction Loop (asking for code and getting outdated libraries or forgotten security constraints), The Trust Issue (having to manually verify every single data point), and The Micro-management (spending 20 minutes writing a complex prompt for a 5-minute task).

Question 8

Is Kosmo only for developers?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Kosmo works for any domain. Whether you need a legal analysis prompt, a fitness coaching system, an English tutor, or a creative writing assistant, Kosmo injects the right expertise into your prompt. If an AI tool can do it, Kosmo can write the perfect prompt for it.

Question 9

Does Kosmo save me tokens?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most hand-written prompts are bloated with redundant instructions. Kosmo's output is lean, tool-specific, and structured exactly how your target AI expects it, which means fewer tokens used, lower API costs, and faster responses.

Question 10

What is the Idea Library?

Accepted Answer

The Idea Library is where you park a good idea when the timing isn't right to build it yet, whether it came up in your main chat or in Vent Mode. Nothing gets saved automatically; you manually choose what goes in. Each idea has a status (active, parked, resurfaced after 7 days, implemented, or archived), so a good idea never just gets forgotten.

Question 11

What is Long-Term Memory?

Accepted Answer

Long-Term Memory is not available yet — it's coming soon. Once live, Kosmo will remember your tech stack preferences, style patterns, and past decisions across sessions, so you don't have to re-explain them on every compile. Until then, nothing is persisted between sessions beyond your saved Idea Library entries.

Question 12

Can Kosmo generate system prompts for AI agents?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For agent frameworks like Hermes and OpenClaw that define an agent's personality in a dedicated SOUL.md file (separate from its system prompt), Kosmo has current documentation for both frameworks' conventions and compiles an accurate SOUL.md or system prompt for either one — grounded in their real docs, not a generic template.
