Sider

Sider integrates multiple AI models, including ChatGPT and Claude, into a single sidebar interface. It employs a modular architecture that allows users to switch between different AI models seamlessly, leveraging API calls to fetch responses based on user input. This design enables contextual assistance tailored to specific tasks, enhancing productivity without needing to switch applications.

Sider maintains a contextual chat history for each AI interaction, allowing users to refer back to previous exchanges. This is implemented using local storage to cache conversation threads, enabling quick retrieval and context awareness during ongoing sessions. This feature helps users keep track of discussions without losing context, which is crucial for complex queries.

Sider formats API responses dynamically based on the context of the user query, using predefined templates and user preferences. This capability is achieved through a combination of client-side rendering and customizable settings that allow users to define how they want the information presented. This flexibility enhances readability and usability of the AI's output.

Sider supports real-time collaborative interactions by allowing multiple users to engage with the AI simultaneously through shared sessions. This is facilitated by WebSocket connections that enable live updates and interaction without refreshing the page. This feature is particularly useful for teams working together on projects requiring AI assistance.
