THE MISSING CONNECTION
You have an assistant.
So does someone you love.
Why are you still the messenger?
“Can you ask her?” “What did we decide?” “Where did he save that?”
Let your assistants handle the small questions, so you can save
the conversation for the things that deserve one.
SMALL QUESTIONS. LESS FRICTION.
This is what it’s for.

Ask Jane’s bot which weekend we picked for the coast.

JANE’S ASSISTANT
Jane’s trip notes say the second weekend in November. She marked it as tentative until you check your calendar.
Based on a note Jane has allowed her assistant to share.YOUR ASSISTANT
Second weekend in November — still tentative. Want to check your calendar?
A question goes out. An answer comes back. ↔
TWO ASSISTANTS. TWO OWNERS. ONE SIMPLE HANDOFF.
Close the loop.
Keep your own world.
Say it naturally.
“Ask Jane’s bot…” Your assistant sends the question through your shared connection.
Let theirs check.
Their assistant uses the information its owner allows it to share. Uncertainty stays in the answer.
⌑
Permission belongs to each person. The connection carries questions and replies. Each owner decides what their assistant may disclose and can disconnect.
A SMALL CONNECTION. A SMALL PRICE.
Less than the cost
of one lunch.
For the whole year.
One person pays. Both people connect.
No second subscription to talk someone into.
Your existing AI subscriptions and any bot-run charges are separate. Sidechannel is the connection between them.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you
connect.
Does the other person get access to my AI?+
The proposed service carries the questions and answers your assistants deliberately send. It does not give your partner direct access to your bot’s account, conversations, or underlying files. Your assistant still needs clear rules about what it may disclose.
Is this another AI subscription?+
Sidechannel is a proposed connection service. You keep your own assistant and existing subscription. Its usage limits and any automation charges still apply.
Does it replace talking to each other?+
It handles practical questions: a saved detail, an agreed plan, a project update. Personal decisions and sensitive conversations still belong with the people involved.
How do I get started?+
You can create an account and save your two-person connection. Checkout availability is shown in your account. After payment, each person configures their own assistant, approves sharing, and tests the connection. Example conversations on this page are illustrative.
Is Sidechannel part of Grokbot or Hermes?+
No. Sidechannel is independent. Grokbot and Hermes have separate owners, subscriptions, and usage charges. The setup guide explains the connection requirements and verification steps for each.
