10 Things You Didn't Know Sidebrain Could Do
You're probably using Sidebrain for basic tasks, but there's so much more hiding under the hood. Here are 10 powerful features most users don't know about.
1. Web Search with Real-Time Results
Sidebrain can search the web for current information:
"What's the latest news about [company]?" "Find the current price of Bitcoin" "What happened at the Apple event today?"
No more copy-pasting from Google.
2. Read and Summarize Any Web Page
Just paste a URL and ask for a summary:
"Summarize this article: [url]" "What are the key points from this blog post: [url]" "TL;DR this documentation: [url]"
Great for staying on top of industry news without reading everything.
3. Remember Things for You
Tell Sidebrain to remember important information:
"Remember that my API key for Stripe is sk_test_xxx" "Remember that Sarah prefers email over Slack" "Remember my server IP is 192.168.1.100"
It'll recall this in future conversations.
4. Draft Content in Your Voice
After a few conversations, Sidebrain learns your writing style:
"Draft a LinkedIn post about our new feature launch" "Write a professional email declining this meeting" "Create a tweet thread about [topic]"
5. Multi-Step Workflows
Chain commands together:
"Check my calendar for tomorrow, look up the attendees on LinkedIn, and create a prep doc with key talking points"
Sidebrain handles the complexity.
6. Code Generation and Debugging
Not just for writers — developers love it too:
"Write a Python script to parse this CSV" "Why is this code throwing an error: [paste code]" "Convert this JavaScript to TypeScript"
7. Data Analysis
Paste spreadsheet data or describe your data:
"Analyze these sales numbers and find trends" "What's the average and median of these values?" "Create a summary of this survey data"
8. Meeting Prep
Combine calendar + web research:
"I have a meeting with [company] tomorrow. Brief me on their recent news and what I should know"
9. Personal CRM
Track your relationships:
"When did I last email John?" "What did Sarah and I discuss in our last meeting?" "Remind me to follow up with Mike next week"
10. Voice Notes (Coming Soon)
Send voice messages and Sidebrain transcribes + acts on them:
🎤 "Hey, remind me to review the PR from Mike and send the updated proposal to Sarah by end of day"
