Aside is a Chromium browser with an agent built in - it signs into the sites you already use and finishes multi-step work there: email, dashboards, docs, messages. Ultrabrowse mode keeps working until the task is done. Memory lives on your device as editable markdown, and a built-in password manager autofills logins without exposing secrets to the model (Secure Enclave + audit log). Local-first with a free tier. Mac now, Windows in beta.

Could you build this?
No Forking or embedding Chromium with deep browser instrumentation, automated agentic navigation across arbitrary auth walls, and resilient DOM manipulation requires advanced systems programming and browser internals engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires customizing the Chromium codebase (C++) or building a custom Electron/CEF architecture with deep DevTools Protocol (CDP) hooks to manage persistent sessions and bypass bot detection. The agent execution engine requires robust DOM state-tree parsing, vision-grounded action planning, and reliable credential injection into sandboxed browser profiles. Engineers need extensive familiarity with C++, Chromium rendering pipelines, and security sandboxing.
