@joel_sider Wow, what an amazing journey from Sider 1.0 to 4.0! ๐Ÿš€ I'm actually a loyal user of Sider, I use it almost every day! I really love the Google Chrome extension, it's super easy to access the AI sidekick. It's incredible to see how much Sider has grown and evolved. Fun fact: I also used Sider to check the grammar of this message :)
Joel
@crystal_j Glad to hear you are using Sider! Followed you on Linkedin and Product Hunt!

@joel_sider the last point - use for free with api key or plus is just wow. this is going to take you places. I'm ready to pay even a nominal charge for the ease of use. congratulations @joel_sider
Joel
@3asil We sincerely appreciate your encouraging words and support. Thank you.

Nice! How does it pick the best answer out of the AI's?
Joel
@sentry_co Well, if all AIs(GPT-4, Claude, Bard) have similar anwers, I will trust the anwsers. If they give quite different answers, I will double check them.
Crystal J
@sentry_co @joel_sider I see... that's why Sider's output is way better than Jasper.ai ๐Ÿ˜‚ (No offense to Jasper)

Sider helps us use AI tools more efficiently!

@rickreviewseverything Hi Rick, Thanks for your support!
Josh Lee
Amazing! We've been also looking for a way of coordinating multiple LLMs in our AI. Do you guys offer SDKs or APIs?
Joel
@josh_swit Hey Josh, just wanted to let you know that we're still in the early stages of integrating LLMs, so we don't have any SDKs or APIs available just yet. Stay tuned for updates! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿค–

Just took Sider 4.0 for a spin. Love that I can finally wrangle multiple AI's in a group chat! Chatting with a webpage is pure genius ๐Ÿš€
Joel
@mattisssa Hi Artem, Thanks for trying Sider!
Joel
@new_user_85e468dd20 Thanks for coming here and supporting Sider.

Super cool!!! is OCR powered by APIs like Amazon / Google or by Gpt vision?
Joel
@otman_alami Previous it's a combination of different solutions. Now by GPT Vison.
Otman Alami
@joel_sider because gpt vision is not very accurate in OCR work if there is too much text, just be aware of that
Joel
@otman_alami Thanks. We will look into it.

Wow! How amazing is Sider 4, introducing group AI chat to reduce hallucinations?
Awais Younas
What a powerful tool! How does Sider's group AI chat differentiate from other chatbot solutions? What kind of accuracy can it provide? Looking forward to seeing the results from the beta testers!
Joel
@itsawaisyounas Users can tag @GPT-4, @Claude2, or @Bard to address the same query and compare responses. Consistent answers among them enhance trustworthiness, while discrepancies suggest a need for further verification. Additionally, you can employ one AI to validate the response of another.

Useful , this is the best extension forever!

I discovered Sider by chance, and it has become my main desktop tool of choice. The in-page translator, especially, is opening doors in my dual-language business, helping non-English-speaking prospects and clients use and implement the products and services I provide and/or sell on the go. Very much recommended
Joel
@vittorio_cristaldi Hi Vittorio, the team is glad to hear you love it! Let's us know where we can improve for your use cases.

Hello Sider Team! Congratulations on the launch of Sider 4.0 and achieving such impressive user growth since your initial launch. Your journey from Sider 1.0 to 4.0, with each iteration introducing innovative features like GPT-4 integration and the Chat with image/screenshot features, is truly commendable. Itโ€™s clear that Sider has been continually evolving, focusing on user needs and a seamless extension experience. However, there are a few potential concerns and questions. Firstly, with the rapid introduction of new features, how does Sider ensure stability and reliability? Continuous innovation is great, but it can sometimes lead to issues in user experience if new features are not thoroughly tested or integrated smoothly. Secondly, as AI technology continues to develop, how does Sider plan to handle privacy and data security concerns, particularly with features like group AI chat and image/screenshot interactions? A question for you as the founders: In an increasingly competitive landscape for AI-powered browser extensions, how do you plan to maintain Siderโ€™s uniqueness and keep providing value that differentiates it from other similar tools? Are there any specific areas or technologies you are looking to explore to further enhance Sider's capabilities? Iโ€™m excited to see how Sider will continue to evolve and shape the way users interact with AI in their daily browsing experience. Best of luck with Sider 4.0 and your future endeavors!
Joel
@drsudba Hi Artem, Thank you for your insightful comments and support for Sider 4.0. Regarding your concerns about privacy and data security, we prioritize these aspects diligently. Here's how we handle them: 1. OpenAI's policy ensures that data from the API is not used for training purposes. 2. Our commitment to privacy is unwavering โ€“ we do not share user data with third parties. Our business model is based on a freemium approach, not advertising. 3. For users with heightened privacy needs, Sider offers options to use their own OpenAI API key or connect their ChatGPT Plus account with our extension. In these scenarios, user data does not pass through Sider servers. As for maintaining our uniqueness in a competitive landscape, it's indeed challenging. We've observed that our innovative features are often replicated by competitors within a few months. However, we view this as a positive influence, driving us to innovate more rapidly and effectively. We believe in a diverse market where multiple players offer varied choices to users, ultimately benefiting everyone involved. We're excited about the future and remain committed to enhancing your browsing experience with Sider. Thank you for being a part of our journey!

Sider is my favorite Chrome extension, and Sider 4.0 is even better. I first learned about Sider at a conversion conference over the summer, and I now use it daily. It's an integral part of my tech stack, and I tell anyone and everyone about it. It truly makes my life so much easier, and I can't imagine my life without Sider!
Joel
@lucky__angi Thank you for sharing your experience and offering encouragement.

@joel_sider : Congrats on the launch team, the product looks amazing.
Joel
@saroj_sahoo Thanks!
Konrad Gnat
Looking pretty good. I tried out the chrome extension. Lots of features. Seems that it's not very focused on solving some use case. Personally I wouldn't use this because it doesn't really click with me. What is the overall theme that would make me want to use this regularly?
Joel
@konrad_gnat Hi Konrad, As an AI sidebar, Sider is an all in one solution. What'are use cases you want Sider to improve? Thanks!
Sofie Davison
Kudos on the success and growth!
