Side · your AI sidekick

You already talk to AI.
Now give it a real job.

Right now, AI is a black box. You type a question, an answer pops out, and you have no clue what happened in between. So you trust it with small stuff and stay a little scared of the rest. And every word around it sounds designed to keep you out: agents, prompts, tokens, APIs.

Side opens the box. Say what you want in plain words: plan the birthday party, turn my recipes into a website, sort my inbox every morning. Side splits the job into steps on a board, like sticky notes, and gives each step to its own AI helper. You watch them work. You drag things around like in Notion. Anything important stops and waits for your yes. And around your third build, it clicks. Agent, memory, prompt. Not scary. You’ve watched them do their job.

Already deep into AI? Side is the control room you’re missing. Your models, keys, memory, agents and schedules on one canvas, across every machine you own. Start on easy mode, then go as deep as you want: routing, budgets, gates, a brain that learns you. Simple enough for your first agent. Deep enough for your hundredth.

The real thing — not a mockup.

the canvas builds itself, then stops for your yes

every agent is a canvas — your whole fleet on one living map. Drag to pan.

Side is for anyone who uses AI every day but has never seen inside it, and for the people who practically live in there. No code needed, no ceiling either. You ask, you watch, you approve what matters. After a week you understand the thing everyone keeps talking about. That’s why I built it.

Side

Let’s build your Side.

Answer three things. Side assembles itself while you do.

Who are you?

Your agents read this before every run, so the work sounds like you.

Plug in your engine

Side runs on your own model key. It stays in this browser and is sent only to your model’s API.

Where should your brain start?

Full folder discovery deepens with the v0.8 engine — the brain keeps learning as you work.
