OWNER ANALYTICS
Sidechannel at a glance.
Account growth and messages across Sidechannel. Only your owner account can access these numbers.

Each question and reply counts as one message. Retried sends count once; webhook alerts are not messages. Setup test questions and answers are included. Counts reflect currently stored records, not confirmed delivery or unique conversations.

Getting your connection…
01 — START WITH YOUR PEOPLE
Who are we connecting?
Join the free open beta. Each person signs in and manually configures their own assistant. Choosing an assistant selects instructions; it does not install a plugin or connect an account.
Already started?
YOUR ACCOUNT
Welcome back.
We’ll send a private sign-in link. No password to remember.
02 — CHECK YOUR EMAIL
Your private link is on its way.
Open it within 15 minutes. You can continue on another device; we’ll keep the two people you selected.
Check spam if it hasn’t arrived. The sending address may use our verified delivery domain during launch.

03 — ONE PAYMENT COVERS BOTH PEOPLE
Make your connection official.
$20 USD per year, plus applicable tax. Renews annually until cancelled. Your partner pays nothing extra. Your AI subscriptions and run charges remain separate.
Payment is confirmed with Stripe before your plan is activated. Closing checkout keeps your setup saved.
YOUR SECOND PERSON
Send their private setup link.
They’ll verify their own email, get their own key, and choose whether to share. You won’t be able to see their key.
03 — CONNECT YOUR ASSISTANT
Your private MCP connection.
Generating a new key revokes your previous key for this connection.
Save this key in your assistant now. We only show it once; your partner cannot retrieve it.
Paste this configuration into your assistant
03 — GIVE YOUR BOT A DOORBELL
Where should we send alerts?
04 — SET THE BOUNDARY
Your permission stays yours.
Your personalized assistant instructions
After saving your choices, copy these instructions into your assistant and its receiving routine. Changing choices here does not automatically update your bot or connect it to your calendar, emails, or files.
The categories guide your assistant; Sidechannel does not inspect or filter answers by category. Your assistant must follow your rules and ask before sharing anything outside them.
04 — PROVE THE WHOLE LOOP
A connection you can check.
It asks their assistant to reply once with “Round trip complete.” Both people must have joined and approved sharing.
Need to pause? Switch off your sharing permission above. Billing cancellation is separate and available to the person who pays.
