All-in-one · multi-source
One AI assistant for Confluence, Notion, SharePoint & Google Docs.
Your documents are scattered across half a dozen tools, and each one wants to sell you its own AI. Sidenote reads them all from your browser — and cites every answer back to the exact source passage.
The problem
One AI bill per platform doesn't scale.
Atlassian sells Rovo for Confluence. Notion sells Notion AI. Microsoft sells 365 Copilot for SharePoint. Google sells Gemini for Workspace. Each is a per-seat add-on, each is locked to its own silo, and none of them can answer a question that spans your wiki and your spec and the PDF a vendor just emailed you.
Sidenote takes the opposite approach: one lightweight extension that reads whatever document is in front of you — connected account or open tab — and grounds every answer in a citation you can verify.
One extension, every source
Read the tools you already use.
Connect an account once, or just open a tab. Each source has a dedicated guide:
ConfluenceChat with your team wiki — no admin install, every answer cited.ExploreNotionSummarise and question Notion pages you share with the integration.ExploreSharePoint & OneDriveRead Word docs, PDFs and decks read-only via Microsoft Graph.ExploreGoogle DocsSummarise and chat with your Docs, cited to the exact passage.ExploreResearch papersUnderstand any arXiv paper or PDF — jargon explained, methods summarised.ExplorePDFs (incl. scanned)Read and question any PDF, even scanned ones via OCR.ExploreWeb pagesSummarise any article, with citations that scroll to the source.ExploreWord documentsSummarise and chat with .docx files, cited to the passage.Explore
Private by design
Read-only, per-document, never crawled.
Cited across tools
Answers you can check — wherever they came from.
Sidenote never just asserts. Every answer carries citations that scroll and highlight the exact passage in the live document. And with Collections you can bundle documents from different tools into one workspace and ask a single question across all of them — the wiki page, the spec, and the PDF, answered together and cited individually.
One subscription covers every source. See the pricing tiers— there's a free tier forever and a 7-day Pro trial with no card.
FAQ
Multi-source questions, answered
Do I need an admin to install this across Confluence, Notion and SharePoint?
For most sources, no — Sidenote is a Chrome extension each person installs themselves, and it reads Confluence, Notion and Google Docs from your own signed-in session or via each provider's official read-only API. The one exception is SharePoint & OneDrive: organisations that restrict third-party app consent may need a one-time administrator approval before anyone can connect, after which every user signs in individually.
Does Sidenote read all of my files across these tools?
No. Sidenote is per-document and opt-in: it only reads a page or file once you open or ingest it. It never crawls, lists, or bulk-reads your accounts, and it never writes or posts anything back. Each connection is read-only, and disconnecting it immediately deletes the stored token.
How is this cheaper than Microsoft 365 Copilot, Notion AI or Atlassian Rovo?
Each of those is a per-seat add-on locked to a single platform — to cover Confluence, Notion and SharePoint you'd pay for three separate AI licences, every month, for every person. Sidenote is one subscription that works across all of them (and PDFs, the web, and Word docs) from the same browser extension.
Is my content used to train AI models?
No. Anthropic (the model provider) and Voyage AI (embeddings) both run with no-training defaults on the API tiers Sidenote uses, and Sidenote never fine-tunes models on user content. OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest and content is stored in a UK (eu-west-2) region with row-level security isolating every account.
Can it give cited answers that span more than one tool?
Yes. Group documents from different sources into a Collection — a Confluence runbook, a SharePoint spec and a Google Doc, say — and ask one question across all of them. Every answer cites the exact source passage, and the citation chip scrolls the live document to it.
Which sources does Sidenote support?
Confluence, Notion, SharePoint & OneDrive, and Google Docs for connected accounts, plus anything in your browser: PDFs (including scanned ones via OCR), web articles, and Word documents. Each has a dedicated guide linked above.
