Companions
A companion is a helper that does the whole job for you — not just give advice. Each one is a simple text file you can drop into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Perplexity, n8n, or LangChain — or any other AI chat. Add the tools it needs, and let it run.
How companions work
Every companion is just a plain text file — it is not tied to one company. Use it in Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Perplexity, n8n, LangChain, or any AI that takes instructions. Some can use tools to act for you; all of them run anywhere a prompt runs. Need MCP? Open it in Claude Desktop, ChatGPT Desktop, or Perplexity and connect the servers listed in the file. No MCP needed? Paste the text into a Claude.ai Project, a Perplexity Space, or a custom GPT.
Downloads are free — make an account to download any file.
