persistent context that follows you across conversations. create a project, and every decision, architecture choice, and preference carries forward — even between web and Telegram. auto-summarizes so context never gets stale, and you pick up exactly where you left off.
a full Linux dev environment per conversation. git clone your private repos, edit files surgically, run shell commands, install packages, browse the web with playwright — all inside an isolated sandbox. connect GitHub and your repos get cloned automatically. no local setup, works from any device.
most AI chatbots make 1-2 tool calls and quit. sidebrain keeps going — up to 12 tool rounds per message. clone a repo, find the bug, edit the file, run the tests, fix the failure, commit. one prompt, real results. cursor runs locally. sidebrain runs in the cloud.
Vector-powered semantic memory. It remembers your preferences, projects, decisions — and finds them when relevant. Not keyword matching. Real understanding.
