Automatic Topic Detection

As you type a prompt into ChatGPT, Sidechat’s intelligent engine works silently in the background. It analyzes the keywords in your prompt to understand your topic. Are you debugging Python? Writing an essay? Brainstorming marketing copy? Sidechat figures it out instantly.

Join a Live Chat Room

Based on the detected topic, you are automatically and seamlessly placed into a chat room with other users who are working on the same thing. A green bubble will appear, showing the topic and the number of users currently in the room. This happens in real-time without you ever having to leave the ChatGPT interface.
