Aside

AI browser built to execute multi-site workflows autonomously using local context

Visit aside.com ↗

Aside is a desktop browser with an integrated autonomous agent designed to complete real-world tasks across multiple logged-in websites, accounts, and internal tools. Rather than relying on rigid API integrations, it interacts directly with web pages while keeping credentials protected through an isolated vault. Local memory, sandboxed permissions, and human approval steps allow it to handle complex workflows without sending sensitive personal browsing data to external LLMs.

What it's for

  • Automate repetitive admin tasks across multiple logged-in internal dashboards and web apps
  • Prepare interview notes or research briefs based on recently visited profiles and browsing history
  • Draft responses, comments, or follow-ups across email and communication tools
  • Navigate account settings to cancel subscriptions or request refunds across services

Features

  • Autonomous browser agent that navigates, inputs data, and interacts with complex web apps
  • Aside Vault password manager with agent autofill that hides credentials from the AI model
  • Local browsing memory that recalls past tasks and sites without sharing context with third parties
  • Human approval gates required for sensitive actions like payments and outbound messages
  • Sandbox security isolating file system and network interactions
  • Support for custom LLM subscriptions or personal API keys

Pricing

Freemium. Free to download; supports bringing your own LLM subscription or API key, with paid pricing plans available.

Why it was saved
