• Quickly chat with your favorite LLM of choice
• Switch between different models on the fly to compare results
• Ask AI to summarize web pages
• Quickly analyze images, files, and use built-in prompts to process information
• ChatPDF uses AI to summarize the contents of a PDF file

But the standout feature of the SIder iOS app is the aforementioned ChatScreen, which lets you analyze any on-screen content without switching apps. Using the power of shortcuts, users can invoke Sider’s ChatScreen via a trigger, such as a double tap on the back of their iPhone, or via the iPhone 15 Pro’s Action Button.

Setting up ChatScreen is easy via the Sider iOS app:

Step 1: Open the Sider app and tap the Profile button

Step 2: Tap ChatScreen → Add ChatScreen Shortcut

Step 3: Tap Add Shortcut

From there, it’s just a matter of adding a Back Tap shortcut, or Action Button shortcut. You can, of course, invoke Sider using any trigger of your choice, but these two suggestions are popular options. Watch the full video above to see Sider’s ChatScreen in action.

If you’re on your Mac or PC, the Sider extension facilitates interacting with links, files, websites, and images all without switching tabs. This extension was among Chrome’s Favorite ChatGPT Extensions of 2023. Sider was also recently featured on Product Hunt, and it’s easy to see why.

The YouTube summary is especially handy for longer videos. It lets you quickly gain an understanding of the contents of a video without having to watch it in full, saving you loads of time. While Deep Reader is great for critical reading. It can also intelligently summarize web pages in mere seconds.
