Aside AI Chat vs Clearly

Aside is a privacy-focused AI assistant with built-in encrypted tunnelling. Ask anything: privacy and security questions, everyday help, or troubleshooting, and have your conversations protected on any network. WHAT ASIDE DOES • Private AI chat. A conversational assistant that helps with questions about online privacy, public Wi-Fi safety, phishing, two-factor auth, password hygiene, and everyday digital life. No account needed. Just open the app and start typing. • Encrypted tunnelling (Shield). One tap routes all of your device's traffic through an encrypted tunnel. Useful on hotel and café Wi-Fi, airport networks, or anywhere you'd rather keep your traffic off your ISP's logs. • Quiet by design. No flashy banners, no upsells inside conversations, no ad tracking. The app stays out of the way and does its job. WHY PEOPLE USE IT • Ask a question and get a real answer, not a search result page. • Keep sensitive conversations off shared Wi-Fi networks. • Get a quick second opinion on a suspicious email or login alert. • Have one place to go for "is this safe?" without a Google rabbit hole. PRIVACY FIRST • No name, email, or phone number required. • Guest identity stored only on your device. Never linked to you personally. • No third-party ad networks. No analytics SDKs.
