Our Story
Why did I create Kotae?
Developer's Voice
A real story from a software developer
As a software developer, I encounter various technical problems every day. Whether it's debugging, learning new technologies, or seeking code optimization suggestions, I find myself increasingly relying on AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude.
However, there was one workflow that made me extremely frustrated: Screenshot → Copy → Open browser → Find ChatGPT/Claude page → Paste → Wait for response. This seemingly simple process had to be repeated dozens of times a day, accumulating a huge waste of time.
What made it worse was that when switching between different AI platforms, I had to repeat this process. Sometimes I wanted to ask ChatGPT and Claude the same question simultaneously to compare answers, but these repetitive operations made me lose my thinking rhythm.
So I thought: "Why can't there be a tool that lets me send screenshots directly to AI after capturing them?"
After several months of development and testing, Kotae was born. It's not just a screenshot tool, but a solution to complete the last mile of Gen AI automation. Now I only need one hotkey to screenshot and send directly to my chosen AI assistant.
I believe there are many developers, designers, and researchers like me who have the same pain points. If Kotae can help you save time and focus on more important creation and thinking, that's the greatest meaning of developing it.
Let's embrace a more efficient era of AI collaboration together!
