“Hey Sidekick”
An always-on wake word that runs entirely on your machine. No hotkeys, no cloud listening — just say the word.
A desktop AI companion for Windows
The ghost in
your machine.
Say “Hey Sidekick” and a little ghost wakes up — it sees your screen, answers out loud, and when you say “do it”, it takes the mouse and does the thing for you.
Free · Auto-updates · Windows 10/11 · Your own API keys
It listens, sees, speaks
— and acts.
Sees what you see
Ask about anything on screen — an error, a form, a chart. Sidekick reads your screen and answers in context.
Voice in, voice out
Talk to it like a person and it talks back — fast dictation in, natural voices out. Keyboard optional.
Say “do it”
Agent mode takes the wheel: it moves the cursor, clicks, and types while you watch it work.
A buddy, not a window
The ghost floats beside your cursor — it perks up when listening, sways while thinking, bobs while speaking.
Yours, on your desk
Runs on your machine with your own keys. Local wake word, offline speech options, no accounts, no telemetry.
Haunted in a minute.
