# Sider

> Sider lives in a side panel in your browser and tries to be the AI helper you reach for without breaking your flow. Highlight some text and it will summarize, translate, or explain it, paste a question and it will answer, and, usefully, it can show responses from several different AI models side by side so you are not stuck trusting a single one. The everyday appeal is that it meets you where you already work, on whatever page you happen to be reading, instead of asking you to copy things into a separate chat window. It also keeps a searchable stash of the snippets and notes you save, and can pull text out of images, so research does not scatter across a dozen tabs. None of the individual features are exotic, but the packaging is the point. For a non-engineer who reads and writes a lot online, Sider quietly removes a bunch of little friction points, and the multi-model comparison is a smart touch for anyone who has learned not to take one answer at face value.
