# Welcome to Youcognito

Private AI research and a daily YOUCOG faucet, on Base.

![Youcog, the spy ghost](https://1924833426-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FCqWj8dmEA5qQbnu5q8dd%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-ed572f3f3e12fafc91ea47a7d861b876355c0ca4%2Fyoucog-mark.png?alt=media)

**Youcognito** is a private AI research app and a daily **$YOUCOG** faucet. It runs as a web app at [youcognito.vercel.app](https://youcognito.vercel.app) and as a **Farcaster Mini App**, on the **Base** network.

You ask **Youcog**, the spy ghost, a question. Youcog reads the web for you in **sealed tabs**, so the sites never see your browser. When you're done, you **Burn** the session and it's gone.
