Tab-switching kills flow. We wanted an AI assistant that sits beside what we’re doing — not in another tab.
So we built NeuralSide: a minimal AI sidebar for Chrome with GPT-5 & Mistral.
A tiny AI copilot living in Chrome’s sidebar.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built NeuralSide because I kept bouncing between a page and an AI tab — it wrecked my focus.
NeuralSide brings GPT-5 & Mistral into Chrome’s sidebar so you can ask, write and code next to whatever you’re doing.
I’d love feedback on:
• the sidebar UX (is it smooth enough?)
• the prompts/presets you’d actually reuse
• what to ship next (site-specific presets, export, multilingual packs?)
It’s free. If it saves you a few minutes today, a quick ⭐️ on the Chrome Web Store would mean a lot.
Thanks for checking it out!
@santosh__kumar9 At the moment, the chats are hosted locally. The ability to log in to your account has been implemented for future updates, but for now the accounts are not being used in any way. Only anonymized requests to LLM are sent to the cloud.

Really like the focus on reducing context switching — having AI in the browser sidebar instead of another tab feels like a big productivity boost. Love the minimal approach too. Does NeuralSide support quick prompts tied to the active page, like summarizing or drafting based on what’s open?

@bahram_ahmedzade Thanks for the support! I tried to make it useful 🙌
Data handling: clarify what leaves the browser vs stays local; enterprise folks will ask.
