NeuralSide: AI Assistant Chrome Extension for Browser Sidebar Productivity
By
Nikita
Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
NeuralSide is a Chrome extension that brings AI assistants (GPT-5 and Mistral) directly into the browser sidebar, allowing users to interact with AI tools without switching tabs. The tool is designed to improve productivity and maintain focus by eliminating the need to navigate away from current work. It's currently free and the creator is seeking feedback on sidebar UX, useful prompts/presets, and future features like site-specific presets and multilingual support.
