I built NeuralSide — a minimal AI sidebar for Chrome.
It brings GPT-5 and Mistral into the browser sidebar so you can ask questions, write, and code without switching tabs.
Why I made it:
- I was tired of context switching between a page and a separate AI tab.
- I wanted quick Q&A, writing help, and code explanations in the same window.
What it does:
- GPT-5 & Mistral in one sidebar
- Chat, writing, code help, summarize/explain text from the page
- Keyboard shortcut + lightweight UI
- No page takeovers, no distractions
I’d love feedback on:
- UX (is the sidebar smooth enough?)
- Prompts/presets you want
- What to add next (multilingual packs? export? site-specific presets?)
