AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge
Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate outputs for the three stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. One supported browser and one approved model set; final factual, legal and code checks remain human. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.
What your team sees
Primary screens: Assistant side panel, Source library and admin console. Use a thumbnail gallery for sessions and documents, a large central reading and answer canvas, and a right-hand panel for sources, model choice and approvals. Let users compare model answers side by side. Display draft, changes requested and approved states. Provide a client preview link with comments anchored to the relevant source. Make the task-specific outcome reviewed, source-linked answers and actions visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.
Accounts and administration
Project ownership, source versions, client comments, approval states, usage allowances, revision limits, download history and a rights record for supplied material. Add organization access boundaries, named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls, export logs and explicit approval for external actions.
Integrations and data access
Author-owned manuscripts, authorized interviews and permitted research sources. Cloud asset storage, design-file import/export and publishing destinations. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct publishing. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.
How we build it
We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

Why we start with an MVP
An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.
- Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will teams and individuals who research, read and act on web pages, documents and videos in the browser use it to solve "assistants that read the active page, documents and videos are scattered across separate subscriptions, and their outputs are hard to trace, approve or keep private"?
- Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
- Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted answers per research hour and corrections after approval.
- Measure, then decide. Track accepted answers per research hour and corrections after approval; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.
MVP scope for this solution. Pilot scope: One supported browser and one approved model set; final factual, legal and code checks remain human. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: open the assistant in a side panel beside the active page; summarize web pages into short source-linked summaries. Support the third module with operator review: analyze documents and PDFs for insights. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.
After the MVP. Once paid pilots prove usefulness, automate repeatable reviewed steps and add one verified source integration. Expand supported inputs and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around reviewed, source-linked answers and actions. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One supported browser and one approved model set; final factual, legal and code checks remain human.
What the build depends on. Asset upload and preview, asynchronous generation jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity production requires specialist creative QA. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One supported browser and one approved model set; final factual, legal and code checks remain human.

Run it or resell it
For your own team
Teams and individuals who research, read and act on web pages, documents and videos in the browser run it inside the business: open tabs, PDFs, screenshots, videos and permitted account data in, reviewed, source-linked answers and actions out, reviewed by your people.
As part of your offer
Agencies, consultancies and software companies can offer it to their own clients under their brand. We build and maintain it; you sell and deliver it.

Selling it to your own clients: the go-to-market playbook
Pricing to test
Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined source package. Offer a monthly production allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex video, 3D or specialist design separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded reviewed, source-linked answers and actions. Recurring fees must specify volume, review depth and integration support. For exchanges, test a disclosed coordination or successful-service fee rather than holding customer funds. Reprice only after measuring real delivery labor; platform-build cost is separate from a commercial pilot fee.
Message to test
Reduce tool switching and manual copying while keeping source-linked, human-approved answers. Demonstrate a concrete reviewed, source-linked answers and actions using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.
Where to find buyers
Teams and individuals who research, read and act on web pages, documents and videos in the browser professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.
Lead magnet
A reviewed sample reviewed, source-linked answers and actions from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of accepted answers per research hour and corrections after approval and no promised savings.
The first 30 days
- Week 1: interview five teams and individuals who research, read and act on web pages, documents and videos in the browser and inspect a recent example of assistants that read the active page, documents and videos are scattered across separate subscriptions, and their outputs are hard to trace, approve or keep private.
- Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the three task modules.
- Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
- Week 4: measure accepted answers per research hour and corrections after approval, reviewer effort and repeat-purchase interest. This is a demand-validation plan, not a thirty-day full-product delivery promise.
Paid pilot
Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted answers per research hour and corrections after approval. Continue only if the buyer accepts the actual output, the intended job outcome improves without unacceptable errors, and measured delivery cost fits willingness to pay. Revise or stop if access is unavailable, qualified review cannot be provided, or apparent savings disappear after corrections and support. Use held-out cases when comparing model quality; use a properly reviewed comparison design before making causal claims. Record missing cases and negative results alongside successful outputs.
Success metrics
Accepted answers per research hour and corrections after approval; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.
Retention and expansion
Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs reviewed, source-linked answers and actions. Retain permissioned settings and reviewed examples, report realized value honestly, and sell increased volume or adjacent approved workflows only after contribution margin and quality remain acceptable.
Why clients would pick it
A reusable library of approved prompts, source adapters and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow research niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for teams and individuals who research, read and act on web pages, documents and videos in the browser. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.
Alternatives and positioning
Sider Omni Sidebar, Mochii AI, Locus Extension, Walles.ai, AI Summary Helper - Summarize Articles, Gist AI, Google Gemini in Chrome, AI Mode in Chrome, Kogvio and Sider 4.0. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on accepted answers per research hour and corrections after approval. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.
Main delivery costs
Generation attempts, video or image processing, storage, reviewer hours, client revision rounds and licensed source assets. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of reviewed, source-linked answers and actions. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.
Safeguards
Preserve source attribution, quotation accuracy and usage permissions. Named owners approve substantive changes and external actions. One supported browser and one approved model set; final factual, legal and code checks remain human. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
