Two agents, different jobs

Your library. Your files. An agent for each.

Choose the agent for the task: manage data inside Better Sidebar, or work on files in Workspace. Each has its own tools and data.

01 · Plugin data

Better Sidebar Agent

Manage your conversations, folders, tags, prompts, and snippets with natural-language instructions. Search your library, find what matters, and organize it.

  • Search and analyze your saved conversations.
  • File chats into folders, apply tags, rename, move, and merge.
  • Manage prompts and snippets alongside your conversation library.

With Power Pack: apply changes to your plugin data after approval. Searching and reading stay free.

02 · Files · Beta

Workspace Agent

Create and modify files in a dedicated workspace. Start text and code from scratch, or bring existing documents for focused edits.

  • Create and edit Markdown, text, HTML, and code files.
  • Edit imported Word, Excel, PDF, and PowerPoint files.
  • Review proposed changes, then download your files.

With Power Pack: unlimited workspaces and files. Free includes 1 workspace and 5 files.

Type > in the chat input, then choose Better Sidebar for plugin data or Workspace for files. The two agents do not access each other's data.

Inside Workspace · File editing · Beta

Create and edit files with Workspace Agent

A separate file area inside the extension. Create text and code from scratch, or import Word, Excel, PDF, and PowerPoint files to edit them. Review changes before they run, then download the result. Free gets 1 workspace and 5 files. Power Pack removes those limits.

Word review

Chapter-by-chapter comments and tracked changes. Open the file in Word and accept or reject — not a rewritten dump you have to diff by hand.

Excel that computes

Reads headers first, then adds columns and sheets with real Excel formulas. Existing data, charts, and conditional formatting survive.

PDF annotation

Highlight claims, sticky notes, form fields, watermarks, extract and merge pages. Body text stays as-is — that's a format limit, not a missing rewrite button.

Code from nothing

You don't have to upload first. For .md, HTML, JS/TS, Python and the rest, it scaffolds a project into the workspace and keeps editing conversationally.

Subtitles & slides

Translate .srt without shifting a millisecond of timeline. Edit PowerPoint text, speaker notes, shapes, and slide order.

Persists across chats

Files survive conversations and both platforms — write from Gemini, open from AI Studio. Every change asks before it runs.

Everything in Power Pack

Better Sidebar Agent writes, unlimited Workspace files and workspaces, Obsidian and Notion export, and every premium theme — plus everything in Support Pack.

Unlimited Workspaces

Free is 1 workspace and 5 files — enough to try a real review. Power Pack removes the cap. Named workspaces, file tree, version history on documents.

Better Sidebar Agent writes

The Better Sidebar agent files, tags, renames, moves, and merges chats. Free is read-only: it tells you the plan. Power Pack is the button that does it.

Gemini & AI Studio

Both agents run through the session you're already in. Workspace files written on Gemini open on AI Studio. Same licence, both sites.

Custom Skills

Define your own Agent Skills in Settings. If you can describe a repeatable workflow, the Agent can learn it — and it becomes a permanent one-click card.

Advanced Export

Export conversations and snippets directly to Obsidian and Notion. Your AI knowledge, flowing into your existing tools.

All Premium Themes

Every current and future theme included. Plus AI-generated custom themes — describe your style and get a unique look.

Approval, then version history

Writes wait for a yes. Documents keep a version history so an overwrite isn't automatically final. Keep a copy of anything you can't afford to lose.

10 Activations

One licence covers 10 browser profiles across computers. Release a slot from Settings when you change machines — no ticket required.

How the agents work

Two agents, deliberately separate. One sees your chats. The other sees your files. Neither can see the other's world.

1

Type >

In the chat input on Gemini or AI Studio, type > and pick Workspace or Better Sidebar.

2

Describe the task

Better Sidebar: ask it to find chats, organize folders, or update tags. Workspace: ask it to create text or code, or import a document to edit.

3

Review and approve changes

Both agents ask before making changes. Better Sidebar Agent updates your plugin data; Workspace Agent saves changes to your files, ready to download.

Free vs Power Pack

Core tools stay free. Power Pack is the writes, the extra workspaces, and the destinations outside the browser.

Questions & Answers

Does the free version stay free?
Yes. Folders, tags, search, prompts, Drive sync, Markdown/JSON export, and the read-only agent stay free. Workspace Agent is usable on the free plan too — 1 workspace, 5 files. Power Pack is unlimited files, agent writes, and Obsidian/Notion.
How do I activate after purchase?
You'll receive a license key instantly. Open Better Sidebar → Settings → Packs → paste your key → click Activate. Takes 10 seconds.
What if I hit the activation limit?
One licence is 10 activations (browser profiles, not Better Sidebar's own multi-account profiles). Release a slot from Settings → Packs before you wipe a machine, then activate the new one. Same token.
Is my data safe?
The agent runs through your existing Gemini or AI Studio session. Queries hit a local SQLite database in the browser. Better Sidebar has no server that sees your chats or workspace files. What reaches Google is the same as any message you type: the prompt, including whatever the agent read in order to answer you.
Does this work on AI Studio too?
Yes. Both agents work on Gemini and AI Studio. Workspace files persist across platforms — a file written from Gemini is readable from AI Studio.
What can the agents actually do?
Better Sidebar agent — query and (with Power Pack) change conversations, folders, tags, prompts, snippets. Workspace agent — create and edit text/code from scratch; read and precisely edit existing Word (tracked changes, comments), Excel (formulas, new sheets), PDF (highlights, sticky notes, page ops), and PowerPoint. They cannot see each other's data. That split is the point.
Do I have to upload a file first?
For text and code, no. Ask it to build the files. Word, Excel, PDF, and PowerPoint have to be dragged in — a browser extension can't open those from disk on request, and generating brand-new binary files from scratch isn't supported yet.
Why buy during beta?
Workspace Agent is in beta: it works, it's careful with files, and you'll find rough edges. Bug reports get fast fixes. The current Power Pack price is the beta price — it goes up once the feature is out of beta. 7-day no-questions refund if it isn't useful.
Does it use my API keys or tokens?
No. Both agents use your existing Gemini or AI Studio session — no API keys, no extra tokens, no Better Sidebar server. The model you're already talking to is the one doing the work.

Organize your library. Create and edit your files.

Better Sidebar Agent writes and unlimited Workspace files — one payment. 10 activations. 7-day refund. Beta price — it rises when Workspace Agent leaves beta.
