Aside

What is Aside?

Aside is a downloadable desktop browser designed to execute tasks across logged-in websites using an integrated AI agent. It operates directly within the user's existing web sessions rather than relying on external integrations. The application runs locally, keeping task data and browsing memory on the device instead of sharing it with LLM providers.

What are the features of Aside?

• Browser agent execution

  Completes multi-step web tasks such as messages, payments, and internal tool operations by navigating websites directly like a human user.
• Local browsing memory

  Converts browsing history into context so the agent knows which sites to use for specific work without repeated instructions.
• Credential autofill (Aside Vault)

  Signs the agent into websites using stored passwords without exposing credentials to the AI, with every access logged.
• Human approval gating

  Pauses sensitive actions like payments, posts, and messages to wait for explicit user confirmation before proceeding.
• Local data protection

  Stores tasks, memory, and data on the device using Secure Enclave hardware-backed encryption and isolated filesystem access.
• Bring your own model access

  Connects to the user's existing ChatGPT or Claude subscriptions, or accepts a custom API key for agent intelligence.

What are the use cases of Aside?

• Candidate interview preparation

  Locating a candidate profile opened in a previous session and generating interview notes using stored browsing memory.
• Daily social media briefing

  Producing a scheduled summary of followers, comments, likes, and trending topics from connected platforms.
• Web design research

  Executing a multi-step search task to find website design examples, including capturing screenshots and saving them locally.
