cosskill update: attach screenshots to your practice conversations

Quick update for anyone using cosskill to rehearse high-stakes conversations — you can now attach screenshots to a practice conversation. What's new An attach-image button in the chat: drop in a screenshot (a real email, a performance-review draft, a job posting, a message you're stuck on) and the AI persona works from it. Images are sent to the AI model and kept for up to 30 days in that chat,…

Recent enhancement to cosskill allows users to incorporate screenshots into practice conversations. This new feature enables individuals to attach images, such as emails, drafts, job postings, or challenging messages, to their simulated dialogue. The AI persona utilizes the image for context, enabling a more realistic rehearsal experience.

Once attached, the image remains in the chat for up to 30 days, allowing users to revisit the material during their practice session. This update aims to address scenarios where textual descriptions fall short in conveying critical context, such as negotiating against a specific offer letter. The cosskill platform remains user-friendly, with no sign-up or credit card requirements for the basic tier, which permits five messages per day.

After signing in, users can send up to ten messages daily, with daily resets ensuring fresh conversation space. All available personas and scenarios are accessible on the free tier, including scenarios like salary negotiations, delivering critical feedback, and navigating difficult personal discussions. The platform also offers a Chinese-language interface and supports unlimited practice through its Pro subscription, priced at $12.90 per month or $129 annually.

For those preparing for tense conversations, the ability to introduce real-life artifacts into the simulated dialogue is a valuable tool, enhancing the effectiveness of the practice sessions.

  • Compiler output illustrates differences in behavior and type checking
  • satisfies provides compatibility checks, type annotations offer explicit types

Making images wobble in the browser: masks, spring motion and local GIF/MP4/WebM export

Disclosure: I made Purupuru Maker , the browser tool this post is based on. "Purupuru" (ぷるぷる) is the Japanese onomatopoeia for something soft and jiggly, like pudding, cheeks or a jelly cat.

  • Image decoded into memory, mask applied for movement
  • Animation exported as GIF, MP4, or WebM using WebCodecs
