Give every Mac app an Agent Sidebar

An AI agent beside any Mac app. Sider Omni sidebar sees what's on your screen and acts on it directly, right where you're working. Watch the result, ask for the next change. Nothing to copy, nothing to upload. Built on GPT-6 Astra, and it can run on your existing ChatGPT or Codex credits.

I am always skeptical about screen reading agents but using existing credits makes me want to test it today.
@sansa_grey Totally understand the concern! Sider Omni only reads the screen when you start a task that needs it. Glad that using your existing ChatGPT/Codex plan makes it easier to give it a try—we’d love to hear what you think!

@sansa_grey Thank you, Sansa, it's definitely worth giving it a try.
Using existing ChatGPT or Codex credits is pretty interesting. How does that work?

@grace_gui02 Thank you, Grace, you just need to connect your own Claude or ChatGPT account.
@grace_gui02 Sider Omni lets you connect your ChatGPT account and use the allowance included with your ChatGPT/Codex plan.
Can it actually do multi step stuff across apps? That's probably the part i'd want to try first.
@david_murray11 Yes—that’s one of Sider Omni’s core capabilities. For example, it can gather information from the browser and organize it into a document or spreadsheet.

@david_murray11 Yes, it's worthy to give it a try!
How does it handle privacy when it can see what is on screen Does it run locally or send screenshots somewhere?
@advin_jadis It doesn’t continuously record your screen or read it unless you start a task that requires it. Only then may a screenshot of the relevant window be sent to your selected AI service for processing.

@advin_jadis If you don't want the model to know, it won't know.
Does it work offline at all or does it always need internet to process the screen?
@jackthompson68 It currently requires an internet connection. This is something we’re actively considering, but local models are still significantly less capable at screen understanding and complex tasks.

@jackthompson68 It needs to connect to a LLM in the background, so internet is required for now, though we might add local model support later.
How do you prevent it from taking unwanted actions when it acts directly Is there a confirmation step before it changes something important?
@khaildnaseem Yes. Ask for approval is the default mode. Sider Omni asks for your confirmation before sensitive or high-impact actions or important changes, and only acts within the task you started and the permissions you granted.
Sider Omni Sidebar
@khaildnaseem Notice the permission setting for actions at the bottom left of the chat input box? You can just set it there.
I wonder how well it handles workflows across apps like taking something from Safari and using it in Notes or another tool.

@edward_paul3 You can definitely give it a try first.
@edward_paul3 Cross-app tasks like this are one of Sider Omni’s main use cases. It can organize content from Safari and add it to Notes or another app, saving you from copying and pasting back and forth.
