Getting Started
UI Walkthrough#
Cognardo Workbench adds a workspace layer around ChatGPT so your conversations, prompts, scratchpads, and citations are easier to reuse.
Extension surfaces#
- Popup: Quick account and extension controls from the Chrome toolbar.
- In-page sidebar: ChatGPT-adjacent tools for saved prompts, pins, scratchpads, and citation actions.
- Floater: Fast access to contextual actions while you work.
- Management pages: Deeper organization for prompts, sequences, scratchpads, and settings.
First Actions#
Complete these actions to understand the core Workbench workflow.
Save a reusable prompt#
Open the sidebar, add a prompt to your library, and give it a clear title you can search for later.
Insert a saved prompt#
Use the sidebar or the // shortcut to place a saved prompt back into ChatGPT without rebuilding it from memory.
Review a recorded conversation#
After working in ChatGPT, open Workbench and find the conversation record. Confirm the title, prompt-response turns, and metadata are easy to identify.
Save useful output to a scratchpad#
When ChatGPT produces something worth keeping, save it into a scratchpad so it can become part of a project rather than staying buried in the chat.
