Aside

Aside Computer Inc.

Freemium

A Chromium desktop browser with a built-in agent that signs in and completes real work across your logged-in sites.

Agentic Browsing: The agent operates your logged-in websites directly - clicking, typing and navigating - so tasks that need no public API still get done.
Local Memory: Browsing history is distilled into on-device memory files so the agent already knows which tools and accounts a recurring task involves.
Agent Password Manager: Credentials are autofilled into pages through hardware-backed encryption and Secure Enclave storage, never handed to the model.
Human Approval Gates: Sensitive steps such as payments, posts and outbound messages pause for your confirmation before the agent proceeds.
Access Audit Log: Every credential use and scoped permission grant is recorded so you can see exactly what the agent touched and when.
Routines: Scheduled recurring tasks, such as a 9am daily briefing, run on their own and drop results back into the browser.
Bring Your Own Model: Connect an existing ChatGPT or Claude subscription or your own API key rather than paying twice for inference.
Sandboxed Execution: Filesystem and network access are isolated with guardrails so agent runs cannot reach beyond what the task needs.

Operations Backfill: Push the same record update through several internal dashboards that have no shared API.
Recruiting Prep: Reopen a candidate profile viewed yesterday and assemble interview notes from the sites already visited.
Inbox and Comment Triage: Draft replies, follow-ups and comment responses across email and social accounts under review.
Daily Briefing: Schedule a routine that gathers overnight metrics and trending topics into one morning summary.
Sales Research: Work through prospect sites and CRM screens to collect context before an outreach sequence.
Spreadsheet and Document Work: Have the agent edit local files and web spreadsheets as part of a longer task.
