Aside

Aside is a desktop browser rebuilt so that AI agents can work inside it. Instead of relying on integrations, the agent uses websites and logged in accounts directly, as a person would, to handle tasks such as messages, replies, dashboards and internal tools. The vendor says it is backed by Y Combinator. It is aimed at people who want to hand multi step web work to an agent. Features include agent tabs that run tasks in the background, scheduled routines such as a daily briefing, and memory built from browsing history that the vendor says stays on the device. A built in password manager autofills credentials so they are not exposed to the AI, and sensitive actions such as payments, posts and messages require human approval. The vendor reports first place on three browser agent benchmarks. Aside is free to download. The Free plan costs $0 and offers 500 credits a month, up to 3 routines and the password manager, with an option to bring an existing subscription. Pro costs $20 per month, with three times the free usage, deep research, unlimited routines and remote control channels. Max costs $200 per month with 40 times the free usage. Yearly billing is listed at 20 percent off, and Enterprise is offered through sales for teams running agents on shared accounts.
