Everything you need to write with AI

SidePen brings AI directly into a calm, distraction-free editor. No copy-paste. No tab-switching. Just you and your AI coworker.

Inline AI suggestions

AI lives inside your document. It reads what you've written and continues your thought — no prompts, no copy-paste.

The quarterly report needs to cover three main areas: revenue growth, customer acquisition, and product updates.

AI continuing... Let me expand on each section with specific metrics and highlights from Q4...

Slash commands

Type a slash and tell AI what to do. Expand a bullet point into a paragraph, summarize a section, change tone — all without leaving your editor.

/expand — Turn a sentence into a full paragraph

/summarize — Condense a section into key points

/rewrite — Rephrase with a different tone or style

/ask — Ask AI anything about your document

Brainstorm before you write

Not sure where to start? Our brainstorm flow asks the right questions to understand your vision, then creates a tailored first draft — so you never face a blank page alone.

Read Aloud

Hear your writing spoken back to you. Catch awkward phrasing, clunky rhythm, and sentences that trip over themselves — before your readers do.

Let me read that back to you! Sometimes a sentence looks perfect on screen but stumbles when it's spoken. I'll say your words out loud so you can hear what your reader will feel — the rhythm, the pauses, the parts that sing and the parts that snag. If it rolls off my tongue, it'll roll off theirs.

Start from 100+ templates

Every template is pre-configured with the right role, tone, audience, and format — so AI understands your intent from the first word.

No toolbar hunting. No settings rabbit holes. Just you, your thoughts, and the gentle presence of an AI coworker ready to help when you ask.
