Aside is a browser rebuilt for people and agents.
It signs into your accounts, uses websites directly, and finishes complex work: messages, payments, internal tools, even local files.
- Crafted in every detail: vertical tabs and Liquid Glass.
- SOTA on agentic browsing benchmarks: outperforms Claude Cowork.
- Full privacy: everything runs locally and is encrypted.
- You can use your Claude or ChatGPT subscription.

how is this better than other AI browsers that do the work for us?
@shushantlakhyani I'll quote what Garry Tan said:
> a/ an amazing browser, b/ great at credentials, c/ has all the integrations you need and c/ actually an amazing harness and memory system in its own right
Very curious on your take on browser vs agents like instinct and muse!
I started using Aside recently. It's well crafted and secure handoff of passkey is also much needed
Congrats on the PH launch, team! i'm a big fan of Aside
Been using Aside as my daily browser for about a month now, and out of every AI browser I've tried, this is the one that stuck.
Two things sold me.
First, context. You can connect your existing AI subscriptions or API access, or just use the connection Aside gives you. But the part other browsers miss is that your context actually comes with you. No re-prompting, no exporting a chat to paste somewhere else. It's just there.
Second, the AI is opt-in. This works as both a browser and a space for your AI chats, so nothing gets summarized unless I ask for it.
Most AI browsers shove AI into every surface when not everything needs it. Let me type "sulcata tortoise" into the bar and read about tortoises without a popup offering to help. That sounds like a small thing. It isn't.
Profile setup and customization are smooth, and the plugins and connections have been painless.
This browser is going places, and I'm glad to be a customer.
I finally switched my browser after a decade of using the same browser everyday. It is extremely seamless to work with agents while having a better experience for humans.
One of the best new browsers I've used. The transition from Arc/Dia was seamless.
The MCP and CLI make it easy to integrate my agents with it.
The speed at which the team delivers solid features is unreal, I really think this is one of the first examples of AI accelerated app development that's actually useful.
I first tried Aside super early on and it’s the first "AI browser" that gave me the same feeling Arc did when I first tried it in early beta. However, I didn't fully make the switch back then due to some bugs but now the team has improved the reliability by a tonne in such a short period of time... so kudos to the team! 👏
I've daily driven almost all the browsers out there and Aside has got me coming back no matter what. More than the browser itself, the harness is just perfect for getting tasks done!
Super excited to see where this goes.
Congrats on the launch!
