hey, i'm jun, co-founder of aside.
so i asked aside to buy groceries. it used my amazon passkey and got the job done. getting past a login screen sounds basic, but it's a big part of making a personal assistant useful.
we're building an AI browser you can hand real work to. it works across the websites you're already signed into, and its built-in password manager can sign it back in without giving the model your raw password. you control which logins it can use.
a few ways to use it:
message it from slack, discord, or telegram. it does the browser work on your computer and replies in the same thread.
turn recurring work into routines, so you don't have to start the same task every morning.
connect the claude pro/max or chatgpt plus/pro subscription you already pay for and use it inside aside.
if you prefer working in claude code or codex, use aside through mcp or cli to give your coding agent browser access.
for me, the interesting tasks are the ones you'd actually hand to an assistant: getting invoices out of a vendor portal, sorting out a refund, or finding an appointment that fits your calendar.
some sites will still need you for verification. that's part of working with real accounts, and we want to be clear about it.
start with one task you've been putting off. i'd love to hear what you tried, what worked, and where it got stuck.
I started using Aside recently. It's well crafted and secure handoff of passkey is also much needed
I'm on Dia right now and I'd be hard-put to swap (took me ages to move from Arc), but the logged-in account part is the piece Dia doesn't touch. What does that get me that a sidebar doesn't and how do you guys handle profiles (The swiping between profiles is the big reason I'm a DIA/Arc guy)
Nervous about the payments, how would that work in terms of a human check. Also how do you handle human sign-offs in general.
Passkey and real browser access is what stood out to me here. Most AI browsers can browse but actually getting work done is a different challenge. Aside seems to be taking that seriously. Congrats Jun and team on the launch!
This is actually a pretty cool direction for an AI browser. The passkey part caught my attention because that’s usually where these agent workflows get stuck. Being able to give it real browser tasks and let it handle them is really interesting. Congrats on the launch Jun and team!
I've tried Comet, Dia and Atlas too, but keep coming back to Aside. It feels faster for both research and multi-tab tasks. It actually finish the tasks, not just suggesting some options. Really enjoying it so far. Congrats on the launch!
"it used my amazon passkey and got the job done" is the exact sentence that would make me hesitate, not the one that would sell me. logging in as me and completing a purchase is a big trust jump from a browser that just reads pages for an agent. what's the undo/confirmation story if it buys the wrong quantity or the wrong item entirely - is there a review step before payment actually goes through, or does it just act?
What if the agent faces an ambiguous choice point during the task such as confirming a payment – will it pause to seek approval, or will it continue autonomously? Btw, Congratulations @chanhee , @dora_lee & @therne on the brilliant launch of Aside 🎊🎊
Hands down the best agent product I've used this year since the Codex desktop app. I work in applied AI and Aside is a staple tool I recommend to anyone alongside their primary coding agent. Its the best agentic browser tool on the market.
Wow, that's too much responsibilities we give to bots. How can we be sure they don't abuse access? For example, can we confirm their actions?
I'm using it for making service introduction material lol. It saved my time a lot so hope you big success. :3
congrats on the launch, team! i've been using aside every day and it keeps surprising me with what it can just handle on its own. really proud of this one.
I've been using Aside as my primary browser for the past few weeks, it's already become a substantially better assistant for me that others in the "AI browser" space have been for a long time.
It's done everything from posting to LinkedIn for me, to setting up an entire UniFi VLAN + Docker configuration on my Unraid server entirely with it's browser use tools, saving me probably a week of effort and trying to understand things.
While Aside still has a long way to go to do everything I like it to, it's ultimately a Chromium browser and all of the benefits that come with that, it's just got the most comprehensive agentic harness baked in which turns everything up to 11.
There's nothing else doing it the way Aside is and I look forward to seeing it grow as time goes on! Just hoping it doesn't pull a BCoNY on us 😉
The best AI browser I have ever used! it just works, man. Waiting for mobile app.
Wish you all the best.
Best thing that happened to my productivity in a long time. Great team, exceptional speed! Can wholeheartedly recommend it
