Sider AI Review

Browser-based AI sidebar that summarises web pages, supports multi-model chat (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini), and assists with reading and writing across any site.

Chat Frontends & ClientsGeneral-Purpose Assistants

Verdict

Sider AI is a feature-rich browser extension competing with Monica and Merlin, distinguishing itself by letting users switch between leading AI models — GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini — within a single sidebar interface. This model-agnostic approach is its primary strength, giving power users flexibility without tab-switching. The tradeoff is that the breadth of features can feel overwhelming, and the free tier is limited compared to dedicated single-model tools.
