Overview

About Cosy

Cosy is a powerful, Slack-native platform designed to transform static Slack workspaces into vibrant, self-sustaining communities. The core challenge for community managers and team leaders is that manual engagement—welcoming new members, facilitating connections, and surfacing valuable content—is incredibly time-consuming and difficult to scale. This often leads to member churn, low engagement, and a sense of disconnection. Cosy directly solves this by automating the essential but repetitive tasks of community management directly within the Slack environment you already use. It is built for community managers, team leaders, and organizations of all sizes who want to foster genuine connections without the administrative overhead. By automating personalized onboarding sequences, facilitating 1:1 member introductions, providing a searchable member directory, and highlighting top content, Cosy ensures every member feels welcomed and connected from day one. The value proposition is clear: reclaim hours of manual effort each week while building a more engaged, cohesive, and thriving community, all without ever leaving Slack.

About Playwriter

AI agents cannot browse the web properly. They either have no browser access, or they get a fresh Chrome with no logins, no extensions, and instant bot detection. Playwriter gives them your actual browser session instead. One Chrome extension, full automation API, everything you are already logged into. Includes accessibility snapshots (5-20KB instead of 100KB+ screenshots), a debugger with breakpoints, live code editing, network interception, and video recording. Works with any MCP client: Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and more. Open source, MIT licensed.
