hey, i'm jun, co-founder of aside. so i asked aside to buy groceries. it used my amazon passkey and got the job done. getting past a login screen sounds basic, but it's a big part of making a personal assistant useful. we're building an AI browser you can hand real work to. it works across the websites you're already signed into, and its built-in password manager can sign it back in without giving the model your raw password. you control which logins it can use. a few ways to use it: message it from slack, discord, or telegram. it does the browser work on your computer and replies in the same thread. turn recurring work into routines, so you don't have to start the same task every morning. connect the claude pro/max or chatgpt plus/pro subscription you already pay for and use it inside aside. if you prefer working in claude code or codex, use aside through mcp or cli to give your coding agent browser access. for me, the interesting tasks are the ones you'd actually hand to an assistant: getting invoices out of a vendor portal, sorting out a refund, or finding an appointment that fits your calendar. some sites will still need you for verification. that's part of working with real accounts, and we want to be clear about it. start with one task you've been putting off. i'd love to hear what you tried, what worked, and where it got stuck.
