the screenshots show it creating calendar events and Teams meetings straight from a plain English ask, which is the fun part but also the scary part. is there any permission scoping, like letting it touch Calendar and Mail but not Finder/Terminal, or is it currently all-or-nothing system access? asking because "just tell your computer to handle it" is great until it misreads one instruction and the blast radius is your whole Mac
The website has a pricing section, I read it, and I still don't know what it would actually cost to use this.

Who hunted Sidekick™?
Sidekick™ was hunted by Abdullah Farouk. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.

I keep thinking... Computers should feel way more magical by now.
AI can write, reason, see, code. And somehow we’re still clicking through folders and menus like it’s 2012.
The future I believe in is simpler: you tell your computer what you want, and it gets to work.
That’s what I’m building with Sidekick.
It starts with your Mac. But the bigger dream is enterprise. Giving entire organisations that same agentic layer across their devices.
Still early. Still building. But this is the direction I’m betting on.
