Give every Mac app an Agent Sidebar

An AI agent beside any Mac app. Sider Omni sidebar sees what's on your screen and acts on it directly, right where you're working. Watch the result, ask for the next change. Nothing to copy, nothing to upload. Built on GPT-6 Astra, and it can run on your existing ChatGPT or Codex credits.
how does it handle sensitive data or private code on screen whe reading the active window?

@jabari_zuri In windows with sensitive data, the best approach is not to launch it.
@jabari_zuri In the default Ask for approval mode, Sider Omni asks for your confirmation before reading sensitive information or private code from the active window. Only after you approve is the relevant content sent to your selected AI service for processing.

I am always skeptical about screen reading agents but using existing credits makes me want to test it today.
@sansa_grey Totally understand the concern! Sider Omni only reads the screen when you start a task that needs it. Glad that using your existing ChatGPT/Codex plan makes it easier to give it a try—we’d love to hear what you think!

@sansa_grey Thank you, Sansa, it's definitely worth giving it a try.

Really nice. Is it safe to use :)
Also, do i need a local LLM to run this?
@chilarai Safety is a big priority for us. Sider Omni only reads the screen context needed for a task you start, and the default Ask for approval mode asks for confirmation before important actions. You don’t need a local LLM—you can use Sider’s model service or connect your own ChatGPT/Codex account.

@rukhsar_amjad Thank you! The biggest difference is that Sider Omni follows the window you’re working in, understands its context when you start a task, and can take action across desktop apps and the web—without making you move everything into another AI chat window.

Does the data leave your local space?

@busmark_w_nika The data still needs to be processed by a large language model; you can choose the model you trust. Thank you, Nika
Using existing ChatGPT or Codex credits is pretty interesting. How does that work?

@grace_gui02 Thank you, Grace, you just need to connect your own Claude or ChatGPT account.
@grace_gui02 Sider Omni lets you connect your ChatGPT account and use the allowance included with your ChatGPT/Codex plan.
Can it actually do multi step stuff across apps? That's probably the part i'd want to try first.
@david_murray11 Yes—that’s one of Sider Omni’s core capabilities. For example, it can gather information from the browser and organize it into a document or spreadsheet.

@david_murray11 Yes, it's worthy to give it a try!
