An Al-powered vertical tabs manager in your side panel.
An alternative to Arc’s Sidebar and Edge’s Vertical Tabs — now upgraded with a built-in AI assistant.
Side Space gives you complete control over your browsing experience with powerful vertical tab management and Side Copilot, an AI that helps you research, organize, and automate your workflow directly from the side panel.
🚀 How do vertical tabs work?
When vertical tabs are enabled, your open tabs are moved from the top of the browser window to the left side panel. This layout stacks tabs vertically instead of horizontally, giving you more space, better visibility, and easier navigation—especially when working with many tabs.
✨ Features
💾 Space Backup Solutions
✨ AI-powered Tab Grouping for automatically organizing related tabs.
🔗 Group Guardian automatically groups tabs based on URL patterns.
🤖 Introducing Side Copilot — Your AI Assistant in the Side Panel
Side Copilot brings AI directly into your browsing workflow:
Just open AI Chat in the extension and start talking to your browser — it does the rest.

Side SpaceSide Space's answer:
Side Space combines powerful vertical tab management with an integrated AI assistant, that's something no other browser extension offers.
Instead of choosing between a better tab manager or an AI browser, Side Space gives you both in one clean side panel.
Side Space's answer:
I am the kind of person who always ends up with too many tabs, too many windows, and no idea where that one page I read yesterday has gone. I tried a bunch of the new AI browsers, but they all felt like replacements for tools I already rely on. I didn’t want a new browser. I just wanted my existing one to feel less chaotic.
So I built Side Copilot for myself first. It helps me manage tabs, jump between windows, find stuff I opened days ago, and generally clean up the mess I constantly create. The thing that changed everything for me was giving it the ability to understand natural commands. I can tell it to group my research tabs or bring back an article from last week and it actually does it. It also has a simple chat mode for quick summaries or translating a page on the spot.
I realized it solved a real problem for me, so I decided to make Side Copilot completely free. I’m curious how other heavy browser users feel about this. Would an assistant like this make your browsing less stressful?
Side Space's answer:
Most AI tools only analyze text. Side Copilot controls your tabs, windows, history, and pages using real browser APIs. You can research, summarize, organize, open sites, perform searches, restore sessions, and automate actions — all with natural language.
You don’t need to switch to Arc or Edge. Side Space turns Chrome’s side panel into a clean vertical tabs system with:
Drag-and-drop tab & group management
Fuzzy search
Memory-saving tab suspension
Saved spaces & session restore
Cloud sync
Dark mode
You get a modern browser experience without leaving Chrome.
Chat Mode → instant content analysis (summary, translation, extraction, quick answers)
Agent Mode → deep automation (organize tabs, clean up windows, run research workflows)
Fast when you need speed, powerful when you need automation.
Side Copilot isn’t “just another chatbot.” It uses more than 20 AI MCP tools built on Chrome Extension APIs:
Tab tools: create, close, group, move
Window tools: tile, arrange, focus
History tools: analyze, find, reopen past pages
Page interaction tools: scroll, navigate, search, capture screenshots
Session tools: restore recently closed tabs/windows
This gives Side Space automation capabilities even AI browsers don’t have.
Side Space's answer:
Side Space is designed for anyone who works, researches, or creates directly in the browser — especially those who manage dozens of tabs every day. If the browser is your workspace, this is for you.
Productivity-Driven Professionals
Marketers, PMs, developers, designers, analysts — anyone who needs a smarter, faster way to organize tabs, windows, and workflows.
Power Browsers with Endless Tabs
For users juggling 20–200+ tabs across multiple windows. Side Space brings structure, clarity, and smart automation without forcing you to switch browsers.
AI-Forward Users
If you want to control your browser with natural language, automate tasks, and let Side Copilot handle the heavy lifting, this is your perfect tool.
Researchers & Knowledge Workers
Students, academics, journalists, content creators, and anyone who collects and analyzes information online. Summarize, extract, search, and research pages instantly.
People Who Want Arc/Edge-Style Features — But in Chrome
Enjoy a vertical tabs manager, powerful side panel, and full AI assistant experience without giving up the browser you already love.
We have been using Vercel to host some of our internally developed apps that help our team run our operations on Vercel and have found it to be a very developer friendly platform. With our apps built in Next JS it is a natural fit and the dev op pipelines can quickly and easily be configured. As these are internal apps used by our team they don't need to support huge traffic volumes so pricing has been affordable for us.
Based on our record, Vercel seems to be more popular. It has been mentiond 653 times since March 2021. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
What replaced the laptop, before we get to the schema: Health Auto Export now posts straight to a Vercel function on a daily schedule, a scheduled job pulls lifting history from Liftosaur, and both land in TimescaleDB on Tiger Cloud. No files, no iCloud, no Mac. A Next.js app reads it and tells me whether I hit protein, which is a separate post. - Source: dev.to / 21 days ago
Vercel Hobby is free for personal, non-commercial projects and is built around HTTP serverless functions and static frontends. Node.js is the primary runtime, and Vercel does a lot of Next.js-specific work for you automatically: caching pages that don't change often, running lightweight functions close to the user, resizing images, and running middleware on every request. Hobby includes 100 GB of bandwidth per... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
Vercel is where JS-heavy Heroku apps land when the shape they really wanted was framework-native serverless, especially anything on Next.js. ISR caching, edge functions, image optimization, middleware, and the AI SDK all wire up automatically from the framework's build output, so the parts of the app Heroku was serving as HTTP handlers become serverless functions that don't pay for idle time. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
What went wrong: The security commit added a Content-Security-Policy Header with connect-src 'self' https://*.public.blob.vercel-storage.com. The Vercel Blob SDK's client-side upload() makes a PUT to Https://vercel.com/api/blob. That domain wasn't in connect-src. The browser silently blocked the request. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago
A host: A host is really just a computer that stays powered on and connected to the internet with a public address of its own. When a visitor types in the app's address, their browser sends a request across the internet to that machine, the machine runs the code, and it sends the finished page back. A laptop was quietly doing both jobs during the build, the server and the only visitor allowed in; a host is that... - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago
