Aside
What is Aside?
Aside is a desktop browser with an AI agent designed to complete tasks across websites, accounts, messages, and files. Instead of depending on a separate integration for every service, the agent works through websites you can access in the browser. Users can create recurring routines, draw on saved browsing and task context, and choose among Aside models, supported AI subscriptions, or their own API keys. Its built-in password manager is designed to let the agent use credentials without exposing passwords to the model, with controls over autofill access. Aside is intended for individuals and teams seeking to delegate research, follow-ups, and other multi-step browser work; it is available for macOS and Windows.
How to use Aside?
- Download and install Aside for macOS or Windows, then set up your account and choose an AI provider.
- Open the relevant websites and describe the task, including the desired outcome and any actions the agent should avoid.
- Review the agent's progress and approve sensitive actions when prompted, then save repeat work as a routine if needed.
