Hooks are a new addition in React 16.8. They let you use state and other React features without writing a class. Building your own Hooks lets you extract component logic into reusable functions.

When you want to share logic between two JavaScript functions, you extract it to a third function.

This extension is amazing! Having ChatGPT right in the sidebar makes everything so much easier. I can quickly summarize pages, draft messages, or get answers without switching tabs. It’s fast, simple, and really intuitive. The best part? It’s free and works perfectly. Definitely recommend it!

“The first one I've found that doesn't demand a Credit Card in 5 uses, lol Simple and Lightweight, perfect for my needs. Edit: From four to 5 stars, the developer just updated the extension adding Voice Mode, and making the interface even cleaner! Really cool to have a Dev who cares about more than sucking money from their users. Edit 2: An Option to customize the Icon in the Toolbar would be awesome!”

“Really nice sidebar, linked to my chatgpt account automatically and integrates really well. Does exactly what you want! Only thing I'd like to change is the green icon for the toolbar. Thanks for making this! Edit for dev reply: It was just a personal preference as I have a dark mode theme and my other pinned extensions are all simply white, that being said the new updated logo is very cool and makes it clear that it's for chatgpt. Great work!”

Frequently asked questions

If you need a direct answer about pricing, compatibility, or your account setup, contact support.

Getting started

Do I need a ChatGPT account to use SideAI?+
Yes. SideAI works with your own ChatGPT account and session. You keep your own subscription, limits, and account settings with OpenAI.
Is SideAI affiliated with OpenAI?+
No. SideAI is an independent browser extension and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OpenAI.
Where does SideAI work?+
SideAI is designed for browser workflows across Google Search, docs, email, forms, dashboards, and other web pages where inline AI help is useful.

Billing and plans

What do paid plans unlock?+
Paid plans unlock SideAI extension features such as expanded assistant actions, writing workflows, page tools, and customization controls. They do not include ChatGPT or API access.
Do you offer refunds?+
Yes. SideAI offers a 7-day money-back refund policy for premium purchases. See the Refund Policy page for the full process.
Which plan should I choose?+
Start with Free if you want to try SideAI first. Pro is best on annual billing for the lowest monthly equivalent, monthly billing is best for low commitment, and Lifetime is for long-term access with one payment.

Privacy and usage

Do you store my page content or screenshots?+
SideAI uses selected text, page content, screenshots, and writing input only when you activate a feature. The extension sends that content through your own ChatGPT session rather than storing it on our servers.
How do I get support?+
Use the Support page or email support@sideai.app with any install, billing, or product question. We aim to respond within one business day.
Does SideAI sell ChatGPT access?+
No. SideAI sells access to the extension's premium features only. ChatGPT access comes from your own OpenAI account.
