Aside

Aside is a browser rebuilt for people and agents, designed to handle complex work other AI agents can't: messages, payments, internal tools, and everything in between. It works across your logged-in websites and signs in through autofill without exposing credentials to the AI. Aside runs locally on your device, keeping data protected, and gates sensitive actions for your review. It ranked #1 on three browser agent benchmarks (Online-Mind2Web, BU-Bench-V1, Odysseys), surpassing OpenAI, Anthropic, and Browser Use. Aside is for operations teams, hiring teams, sales, developers, researchers, and anyone who needs to automate browser-based workflows. It can triage CI runs, gather release evidence, capture staging screenshots, monitor dashboards, run HR admin, onboarding, offboarding, recruiting, SaaS reporting, invoice downloads, approvals, collect sources, verify claims, and build prospect lists. Aside's Password Manager is the first built for agents, using hardware-backed E2E encryption and scoped access with audit logs. Memory turns browsing history into context, keeping everything local. It supports bring-your-own subscriptions (ChatGPT, Claude, Grok) or API keys, and runs on macOS. Recent updates add Grok subscription sign-in, custom AI providers (Ollama, LM Studio) without API keys, and thinking effort controls for Grok Build. Unlike traditional AI agents that rely on limited integrations, Aside uses websites directly like a human would. Its local-first architecture addresses privacy concerns, while the credit system ensures fair usage. For teams needing shared agent workflows, Aside offers enterprise plans with team-wide settings, shared profiles, and vaults.
