Documentation
Everything you need to know about using Cognitia AI, connecting your tools, and getting the most out of your AI assistant.
Getting Started
Start HereCreate Your Account
Visit the login page and create your account using one of three methods:
Google Sign-In -- One-click sign up with your Google account. Fastest way to get started.
iCloud Sign-In -- Sign up with your Apple ID for seamless iCloud integration.
Email & Password -- Create an account with any email address and a secure password.
All new accounts start with a free tier. No credit card required.
Connect Your First Integration
After signing in, navigate to the sidebar and connect your first service. We recommend starting with Gmail as it unlocks both email and calendar capabilities:
Click the Email integration button in the sidebar
Select Gmail and authorize Cognitia to access your account
Once connected, you can ask Cognitia to read, search, and send emails, plus manage your Google Calendar
Send Your First Message
Navigate to the Chat page and start a conversation. Cognitia adapts to natural language -- just tell it what you need:
"Summarize my unread emails from today"
"What meetings do I have this week?"
"Search the web for the latest AI news"
"Help me draft an email to my team"
Integrations Guide
MCP Marketplace
What is the MCP Marketplace?
The MCP Marketplace allows you to browse and connect external MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to extend Cognitia with additional tools and capabilities. MCP is an open standard that lets AI assistants interact with external services through a unified protocol. By connecting external MCP servers, you can add tools for services like Notion, Slack, databases, and many more — all without any coding.
Key highlights:
Available to all subscription tiers
No additional cost beyond LLM credits
Connect unlimited external servers
Built-in tools always take priority
Connecting an MCP Server
There are two ways to add external MCP servers:
Option 1: Browse the Official MCP Registry
Open the MCP Marketplace from the sidebar
Use the search bar or quick-search tags to find a server (e.g., "Notion", "Slack")
Click Connect next to the server you want to add
Enter any required authentication credentials (API key, bearer token, etc.)
Cognitia will test the connection and cache the available tools
Option 2: Add a Custom Server
Click Add Custom Server in the MCP Marketplace
Enter a server name, its URL, and authentication details
Click Connect & Test to verify and save
Managing Connected Servers
Once connected, each server appears as a card in the MCP Marketplace page showing its status, tool count, and last connection time. You can:
Toggle active/inactive: Temporarily disable a server without removing it. Inactive servers' tools are excluded from conversations.
Refresh tools: Re-fetch the tool list from the server if it has been updated.
Remove a server: Permanently disconnect and delete the server from your account.
Expand tool list: View all individual tools provided by the server.
Pricing and Tool Overlap
There is no additional credit cost for using external MCP tools. The only cost is the normal LLM token usage that applies to every message — tool definitions and results are part of the token count, just like built-in tools.
If an external server provides tools that overlap with a built-in Cognitia integration (e.g., a Gmail MCP server when you already have Gmail connected natively), the built-in integration takes priority automatically. This ensures you always get the best experience with native integrations while still being able to extend with external tools for services Cognitia doesn't cover natively.
Using AI Agents
Multi-Agent Orchestration
When you send a message, Cognitia's orchestrator analyzes your request and determines which tools and agents are needed. For complex requests, it breaks the task into parallel operations:
Automatic tool selection: Cognitia picks the right tools based on your connected integrations and the nature of your request.
Parallel execution: Independent tasks run simultaneously. For example, searching emails while checking your calendar happens at the same time.
Context awareness: The orchestrator uses your conversation history, user directives, and persistent memory to provide personalized responses.
Browser Automation
Cognitia can browse the web on your behalf using a server-side browser agent. This agent can navigate pages, click buttons, fill forms, extract data, and complete multi-step flows like making reservations or signing up for services.
Available browser actions:
Navigate to URLs
Click elements
Fill forms
Extract page data
Take screenshots
Multi-step flows
Workflow Agents
For complex multi-step tasks, Cognitia can create persistent workflow agents that track progress across steps, maintain state, and report back when complete. These agents use a built-in todo and memory system to break down large tasks into manageable steps and execute them sequentially or in parallel.
Document Generation
Generate professional documents directly from your conversations. Cognitia can create files in multiple formats and optionally upload them to your connected cloud storage.
Understanding Credits
Cognitia uses a credit-based system to manage usage. Each message, tool call, and AI model interaction consumes credits based on the complexity and model used. Your subscription tier determines your monthly credit allocation.
Different models, different costs: More powerful models (like GPT-5.1 or Claude Opus 4.6) use more credits per message than lighter models.
Tool calls count: When Cognitia uses tools (email search, browser automation, etc.), each tool invocation adds to the credit cost of that message.
Track your usage: Monitor your credit balance in your Account settings.
