OpenSider: Let the Browser Drive Your Local AI Agent

说明与用途

OpenSider 将本地 AI 代理与浏览器连接，实时获取页面上下文并提供网页自动化工具，简化跨页面任务，无需离开浏览器。

问题

Local AI agents cannot see the user’s current browser tabs and state, making it hard to perform cross‑page tasks without manual context switching.

结果

The extension enables seamless, in‑browser AI assistance, preserving login state, allowing real‑time page interaction, and eliminating the need for separate terminals or manual context switching.

工作流

• Install the OpenSider extension and enable it in the browser.
• Launch the extension to connect to a local CLI agent that supports ACP (e.g., Claude Code CLI).
• Use the sidebar chat UI to give the agent a command such as "Go through the pricing pages of products A/B/C and produce a side‑by‑side comparison table."
• The agent reads the current tab content, switches tabs, extracts pricing information, and returns a comparison table—all within the browser without extra logins or terminal switches.

证据

OpenSider is a free, open‑source browser extension that integrates your local CLI agents into the browser sidebar, so you can work with an agent directly inside the browser window you already use.

来源

The agent automatically switches to the right tabs, reads the pricing and plan details, generates a comparison table and returns the result.
