Read full description

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. No data brokers. • Conversations are not used to train public AI models. • Read our full policy: https://asideai.net/privacy CHAT FEATURES • Conversational AI with privacy and digital-safety focus • Conversation history kept on-device so you can scroll back • Suggested starting prompts to get you going SHIELD (ENCRYPTED TUNNEL) • One-tap on/off • Routes all traffic through Aside-operated servers • Standard IPsec/IKEv2-class encryption • No connection logs of what sites you visit • Works on Wi-Fi and cellular WHAT ASIDE DOESN'T DO • No peer-to-peer messaging. Aside is a one-on-one conversation with the AI, not a chat app between users. • No content generation suite. No image generators, no code writers, no document creation. Aside stays focused. • No fingerprinting, no sale of data, no cross-app tracking. SUPPORT Questions, suggestions, or trouble? Reach us at hello@asideai.net.
