Hi PH Family! 👋 I'm thrilled to share our major update—Sider for iOS 2.0! Switching from desktop to mobile often means losing some of the smooth, easy workflow we all love. Our Sider browser extension for desktops brings convenience by allowing users to directly chat with AI within their browser sidebar, without switching tabs.

All without leaving your current apps! Plus, you can customize the activation gesture to suit your habit. *Why You'll Love Sider* In addition to ChatScreen, your phone will be empowered to be a do-it-all interactive AI hub. Take a look at what else Sider brings: 🤖All Your Favorite AI Models in One Place: Chat with GPT-4o, Claude 3, Gemini 1.5 Pro, Llama 3 and more from a single chatbot. 📂Make Your Files Talk: Turn PDFs, images, and documents into interactive chats.

Stefans Keiss
Excited to see how ChatScreen integrates with various on-screen content! Does it support interaction with third-party apps like PDF readers?

Congrats on the launch! The Chatscreen feature sounds super useful. Looking forward to trying it out!

I've been using Sider AI for quite some time and almost forgot about ChatGPT, so I expect this one to be similar. Your product is consistently excellent! PeopleHunt, if you're reading this, please consider giving it an upvote!

@nfirmansyah Hi Glad to hear you love Sider. Thanks for your support!

Does Sider sell its own API?
Joel
Maker
@m4jiz No. Sider uses API from OpenAI, Claude etc.
Rick Fan

@m4jiz At this time, there are no plans to offer a standalone API. However, we are open to discussing potential collaborations.

@rick_fan great, best of luck today

Congrats on the launch guys! It's a really cool concept. Do you give any indication of the performance/status of each LLM? I know sometimes Chat is "down", or at least underperforming, it would be nice if you said something like "Chat is performing at 70%, we recommend Claude for this atm".
Rick Fan
Maker
@njrobb Thanks a lot! This is a really great suggestion. It needs a good interaction solution, and we'll seriously discuss it in the next version.
Joel
Maker
@njrobb Actaully, we have a Sider Fusion option which will choose a good model for specific scenario and if one LLM is down it will switch to another automatically.

Nice touch on the build-in prompt:))) Congrats on the update! Love how simple and intuitive it is to switch between devices, definitely save a lot of time and effort for people like me who works on the go all the time.

Hi Joel, This update sounds amazing! The seamless interaction on mobile is a game-changer. How does the double-tap gesture work in different apps?
Joel

@alex_dulub Hi, it works through shortcuts feature of iOS.

I'm wondering how Sider handles privacy and data security, especially when users are interacting with sensitive information on their screens? Also, does the app work with all types of content or are there limitations on what it can process? Congrats on the launch!
Joel
Maker
@kyrylosilin 1) That's a good question. We have an option in the ChatScreen setting. You can choose to upload the screenshot manuaully after you double tap. You always have the option to decide whether to send informaion to LLM. 2) Yes, it works with all type of content. Thanks for commenting!

Congrats! I have been using the Chrome extension of Sider for a long time. I'm very glad to see that the iOS version of Sider has been updated! The ability to access AI without switching apps is a great advantage.

@zenda1122 Glad to hear you like Sider! Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any feedback.

Hey, congrats on the launch. How do you plan to differentiate from Apple Intelligence except for the possibility of multiple chatbots?
Joel
Maker
@kshitij11 Good point! Apple's intelligence only works for iPhone 15 Pro/Max and iOS 18 several months later. Our solutions works on all iPhone now :-)!

Congrats on the launch of ChatScreen, Team! 🎉 The design and functionality of the double-tap gesture feature are impressive. I particularly like how it allows users to summon the chat interface to translate, analyze, and discuss anything on their screen without switching apps. This sets it apart from other products in the market. One thing that could enhance the user experience is adding a customizable shortcut option. Have you considered allowing users to set their own gestures or shortcuts for activating the chat interface? I think it would really complement the existing features and add more value for users. Keep up the great work and looking forward to future updates! 👍
Joel
Maker
@nelle_chambers Yes. You can set whatever shortcut you like!

@eileen_lim Thanks for the nice words

This is a super easy way to summon AI. A small interaction boost can lead to significant changes. However, there's a concern: adding this gesture interaction to the ChatGPT client might pose a fatal risk to the app.
Joel
Maker
@yangyi_xxxx Thank for the comment. There is an option which allows you choose what you want to send to ChatGPT mannually.
