SideAI: AI Sidebar For ChatGPT - Free Access

Access ChatGPT directly from a browser sidebar!

SideAI: AI Sidebar for ChatGPT brings ChatGPT into your browser sidebar so you can read, write, summarize, research, translate, and ask questions without constantly switching tabs. SideAI is the rebranded and upgraded version of Sidebar for ChatGPT. It keeps the fast, familiar ChatGPT sidebar experience users already know, and adds a cleaner interface, better page tools, smarter writing workflows, screenshot capture, Google Search insights, custom prompts, and more. The core ChatGPT sidebar is free and unlimited inside SideAI. You can open the sidebar whenever you need it and use your own ChatGPT account without adding an API key. Optional SideAI premium plans unlock advanced extension features, but the main sidebar access remains free. 🚀 Quick Overview SideAI gives you a fast AI sidebar for Chrome and Chromium-based browsers. Open ChatGPT beside any webpage, select text to run quick AI actions, improve writing inside fields, summarize pages, capture screenshots, and use saved prompts directly from your browsing workflow. Instead of copying content, opening a new tab, pasting into ChatGPT, waiting for a response, and returning to the original page, SideAI keeps ChatGPT available where you are already working. Use SideAI for research, writing, studying, coding, shopping, email, documentation, forms, dashboards, product comparisons, support replies, and everyday browsing. ✨ Key Features ✅ Sidebar for ChatGPT Open ChatGPT in a clean browser sidebar from any page. The core sidebar is free and unlimited, so you can keep AI help available while browsing. Open SideAI from the extension icon, keyboard shortcut CTRL + SPACE , or right-click menu. 🔐 No API Key Required SideAI works with your own ChatGPT account and session. You do not need to create, paste, or manage an API key. ChatGPT access, model availability, message limits, and subscriptions are controlled by your own OpenAI account. 🖱️ AI Text Selection Menu Highlight text on a webpage and open a smart AI menu instantly. Use quick actions such as Ask, Summarize, Explain, Translate, Rewrite, Continue Writing, Fix Spelling & Grammar, and more. This is useful when you want help with selected text without leaving the page. 📄 Page Assistant Chat with the current webpage. Ask SideAI to summarize a long article, explain a section, extract key points, answer follow-up questions, or help you understand the page faster. It is useful for research, learning, reading documentation, comparing products, and reviewing long content. ✍️ AI Writing Assistant Improve text directly inside emails, forms, messages, comments, documents, and other writing fields. SideAI can help rewrite, polish, shorten, expand, fix grammar, improve tone, or generate better wording while you stay in the same field. 🔎 Google Search AI Insights Use AI beside Google Search results to research faster. SideAI can provide concise answers, structured summaries, and useful context while you search, reducing the need to open many tabs just to understand a topic. 📸 Screenshot Capture Capture a selected area or the visible part of a page and send it to the assistant for help. Use screenshots for debugging, explaining UI issues, summarizing visual content, asking questions about charts, or sharing context that is easier to show than describe. 🧩 Custom Prompts Library Create and manage your own prompt library. Reuse prompts from the sidebar, context menu, or selection menu so your most common workflows are always close. This is helpful for repeated tasks such as rewriting in a specific tone, summarizing in a format, generating replies, or applying your own instructions. ⚡ Quick Chat Open SideAI quickly and ask a question about the current page or your current task. Quick Chat is designed to reduce friction and keep your focus on the work you are doing. 🎙️ Voice and Microphone Support Use voice features through your ChatGPT session when available. SideAI helps guide microphone access in the sidebar so voice workflows are easier to start when you want hands-free interaction. 🛡️ Per-Site Controls Choose where SideAI tools appear. You can disable the text selection menu or page assistant on specific websites when you want a cleaner experience or when a site should stay untouched. 🎛️ Customizable Actions Organize your text menu actions around your workflow.
