SideChat Official AI

SideChat opens the official ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini web apps inside VS Code's editor area, with a sidebar-like launcher.

Features

  • Open ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini in a right-side editor group.
  • Keep the browser narrow and resizable like a sidebar.
  • Move the active chat editor into a separate VS Code window.
  • Toggle VS Code window always-on-top when your VS Code build supports it.
  • Customize providers with sidechat.providers.

Usage

  1. Run npm install.
  2. Run npm run compile.
  3. Press F5 in VS Code and launch Run Extension.
  4. Open the SideChat activity bar icon and choose a provider.

The extension uses VS Code's built-in browser commands instead of embedding these sites in a custom webview. That keeps the official login/session flow much closer to normal browser behavior.
