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.

can it interact with non native web apps inside browser windows or just desktop apps?
@margret_rhyme It works across native desktop apps, Safari, browser-based web apps, and even apps with custom-drawn interfaces. Chrome also has a dedicated Sider Operator extension for more powerful browser use.

@margret_rhyme The browser is an app too, so of course it works there as well, but it can't operate the page as efficiently as our extension product does—it can only work through computer use.
The screen awareness is the part I’m most curious about. How does Omni handle apps with sensitive information or screen?
@ben_d3 For any app or screen, Sider Omni only reads the relevant window when you explicitly start a task that requires screen context. It never reads information proactively.
Sider Omni Sidebar
@ben_d3 Simple, just don't run Omni on that window.
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.
Sider Omni Sidebar
@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.
This little companion following you around is kinda neat haha. I can see that being useful.

@nathan_holdstein36 Haha, thank you so much—I love what you call it. Reach out to us anytime if you run into any problems.
@nathan_holdstein36 Haha, thanks! That’s exactly the idea—always close by and ready to help when you need it.
One of my friend was showing me a similar screen agent last week and honestly not having to copy paste stuff into chatpgt saves so much time.
@ashley_james Exactly! Sider Omni works right beside the window you’re using and can understand the relevant context directly, saving you from constantly copying and pasting into ChatGPT.
Sider Omni Sidebar
@ashley_james Maybe it saves more than just time—just give it a try, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
This could be especially useful for design tools where explaining what needs changing can take longer than the change it self.
@christian_onochie Exactly! Sider Omni can understand the design you’re working on, so you don’t have to repeatedly explain what needs changing. For more complex design tasks, we recommend using GPT-6 Astra.
Sider Omni Sidebar
@christian_onochie Yes, design is a very important use case.
am seeing what is on screen without uploading files is definitely how all desktop ai tools should work.
@alira_salu That was a big reason we built Sider Omni. It stays with the app you’re using, understands what’s in the window when you need help, and can get the task done without making you upload files or copy and paste everything first.
Sider Omni Sidebar
@alira_salu Yes, you can give it a try.
