February 8, 2024Version: 4.4

Welcome to the latest update of Sider, version 4.4! Our team is excited to introduce a suite of enhancements designed to streamline your workflow and boost your creative and analytical capabilities. Let's dive into what's new and how you can make the most of these tools.


Tools Integration within Chat

Previously, Sider featured web access as its sole tool directly accessible from the chat interface, offering users the ability to browse the internet without leaving their workspace. With the introduction of V4.4, we’ve expanded this functionality by adding two powerful new tools, all of which are now neatly housed under a unified "Tools" access point within the chat interface.


This integration significantly simplifies how you interact with the following tools:

Painter Tool

To use the Painter Tool:

Step 1. Open the Sider sidebar, click on the "Add Tools" button in the chat input box.

Step 2. Turn on the "Painter" switch.

Enhanced Context Menu with GPT-4 Access

In addition to the tools integration, we've enhanced the context menu with a new user interface and added functionality, including the ability to switch between AI models. This upgrade is designed to make your interaction with GPT-4 or other models more intuitive and flexible.

  • Use GPT-4 (switch models): This functionality allows you to switch between different models directly from the context menu, offering you the flexibility to choose the model that best fits your specific needs or tasks.
