About ChatOSS

The desktop app for Ollama. Chat, code, and plan with your local models, and scale to faster cloud models when you need them. Free local use, no account required. ChatOSS is a native desktop workspace where AI agents do real work alongside you. They write code in your repos, plan and track tasks on an integrated Kanban board, and ship. It's more than chat, a suite of apps you can extend, running on Ollama or the cloud.

About Prompt Foundry

Extension for Visual Studio Code - Forge complex AI prompts and specs from a library of evolving blocks. Prompt Foundry is a VS Code extension that makes AI more consistent and effective in large codebases. Instead of rewriting context every session, you build a personal library of reusable prompt blocks*, architecture notes, coding standards, behavioural contracts, and snap them together before each task. A bundled MCP server lets the AI write discoveries back into that library, so your prompts improve over time without manual upkeep.
