:bullseye: The Bottom Line

Tab-switching is dead. Context is king. These sidebars are basically life support for your fried dopamine receptors.
Doesn’t matter if you’re a paranoid hoarder running local models or a clown juggling 47 AIs — there’s a sidebar built to babysit you.

The only rule? Don’t chase FOMO, chase what keeps you lazy but effective. Start free, break it, then pretend you’re “scaling” while the AI does your homework.

2025 without an AI sidebar is like raw-dogging Internet Explorer — possible, but you’ll probably hate yourself.
