Chrome release pending store approval.
✔ Runs locally 🟣 ✔ No cloud logging 🟣 ✔ No black-box AI
✔ Works with ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude in Chrome & Edge Browsers.
VibeAI FoldSpace is the first tool that reflects your thinking engagement in real time — at the level of each individual conversation .
VibeAI FoldSpace now supports ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini on Google's Chrome and Microsoft's Edge web browsers, as of February 2026.
Most people already sense something shifts when they rely on AI too heavily. The focus softens. The questions stop coming. You accept the answer and move on.
In 2025, researchers started measuring exactly that — and what they found confirms what you've been feeling.
For ongoing research in this field: Computers in Human Behavior (Elsevier) — the leading peer-reviewed journal tracking how technology shapes human cognition and behavior.
Regularly publishes on AI reliance, cognitive offloading, automation bias, attention drift.

AI & Society (Springer)
Covers societal impact of AI on human cognition, agency, and decision-making. More philosophical but peer-reviewed.

Specifically tracks how AI tools affect student reasoning, learning outcomes, and cognitive development.
"I can definitely see this extension being useful when using AI for qualitative tasks like conversation or understanding a research paper. It asks me to reflect on my experience in this context." — Ender Wiggins, Chrome Web Store ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
In 2025, multiple independent research teams measured what happens to human thinking when AI becomes a daily habit.
The findings point in the same direction:
Gerlich (2025) — Societies journal
In a study of ~600 people, regular AI use showed a strong negative correlation with critical thinking scores. The more people used AI, the worse they performed on independent reasoning.
Kabashkin (2025) — Information journal
The "Cognitive Atrophy Paradox": the same AI tool can sharpen your thinking or degrade it. The only variable is how you engage. Passive use leads to atrophy. Reflective use builds capability.
Frontiers in Education (2025)
Students using AI passively showed measurable declines in analytical reasoning — within a single semester.
Harvard Gazette / MIT Media Lab (2025)
"Cognitive atrophy" is now entering mainstream scientific discussion.
"VibeAI FoldSpace is the first tool that shows you, in real time, which side of this research you're on." - Joseph Tingling, MD/PhD

Hugonomy Systems builds cognitive‑awareness tools that help people stay mentally present while working with AI.
Our focus is simple:
clarity, agency, and intentional thinking in a world increasingly shaped by machine reasoning.
We design local‑first, privacy‑first interfaces that reflect your thinking state — not your emotions, not your personality, and not your data.
Our work is grounded in the belief that humans should remain active participants in AI‑mediated conversations, not passive recipients
Our mission is simple:
Keep humans in the loop.
Keep thinking visible.
Keep agency intact.
We don’t predict the next word.
We help you stay aware of your own thinking mind.
VibeAI FoldSpace — Real‑Time Thinking Engagement
Generative AI is powerful, but it can quietly take over the reasoning process.
VibeAI acts as a thinking companion, running locally in your browser to reflect how your engagement shifts as the conversation unfolds.
It shows when you’re:
exploring
evaluating
refining
accepting
…so you don’t drift into autopilot or let the model do all the thinking for you.
Status: Active Beta Testing (March 2026), Live on Google Chrome Web Store, for PC only!
AI conversations move fast.
Most people don’t notice when their thinking shifts — or when the model starts steering the direction.
VibeAI helps you stay aware by making your engagement visible:
See when you’re slipping into passive acceptance
Notice when the model’s direction changes
Stay intentional during long, complex threads
Reduce misalignment in high‑stakes conversations
Build awareness without changing your workflow
Every AI has a best version. VibeAI FoldSpace helps you stay in yours.
🧠 Prompt Engineers & Thinkers
Understand how your engagement changes as prompts get longer, deeper, or more abstract — and catch when you slip into autopilot.
Anyone who uses ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to explore ideas, plan work, or reason through problems — and wants to stay mentally present while doing it.
🧑💻 Developers
See when you shift from exploring to accepting too quickly, and keep your reasoning active during long technical threads.
🔬 Researchers
Track how your thinking evolves across complex conversations and avoid drifting into model‑led conclusions.
🚀 Power Users
Spot the exact moments where your thinking sharpens, stalls, or accelerates — the exchanges worth saving, refining, and building on.
💬 Anyone who wants to vibe — not wrestle — with their AI.
AI can help you think, but it shouldn’t think for you.
VibeAI keeps you aware of your own mind while you work.
AI comparison charts tell you which model to pick.
VibeAI FoldSpace shows you how you are thinking inside the conversation.
Why Now?
AI is becoming part of everyday work.
We use long conversations to think, write, plan, and build — but those conversations can quietly shift.
Not because the model is “wrong,” but because:
your engagement changes
your attention drifts
you accept too quickly
the model starts steering
the thread loses direction
Until now, none of that was visible.
VibeAI FoldSpace makes your thinking engagement visible in real time — so you stay aware, intentional, and in the loop.
Don’t Outsource Your Mind!
We’re building cognitive awareness for the AI era — and we’re looking for partners, advisors, and early adopters who believe humans should stay in the loop.
People deserve visibility into how their thinking shifts during AI‑mediated work — without surveillance, profiling, or data extraction.
Our principles are simple:
No ranking people
No diagnosis
No selling data
Local‑first, consent‑first by design
We don’t predict the next word.
We help you stay aware of your own mind.
We’re preparing for early‑stage conversations with partners aligned with cognitive‑first, privacy‑first AI — tools that enhance human agency rather than replace it.
If you believe the future of AI requires humans who stay present, intentional, and in the loop, we’d love to talk.
Join the VibeAI beta and help shape the first real‑time thinking‑engagement layer for AI conversations.
Your feedback directly influences how people stay aware while working with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
We welcome conversations with researchers, designers, and technologists exploring cognitive engagement, human‑AI interaction, and local‑first tools that support intentional thinking.
Cross‑browser stability across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini
