What is Sidekiiick?

Sidekick is a desktop application that brings ChatGPT into your everyday workflow through a quick-access launcher, similar to Spotlight on macOS. Rather than opening a web browser and navigating to ChatGPT each time, you can summon Sidekick instantly from anywhere on your computer to ask questions, draft content, debug code, or brainstorm ideas. The tool sits quietly in your system tray until you need it, making AI assistance genuinely convenient rather than something you have to actively seek out. You'll need an OpenAI API key to use it, but the application itself is free to download and use.
