I have been using sider for a few weeks and found it pretty helpful:
Setup:
use gpt4o-mini which is basically free and faster than doing anything in Claude or ChatGPT
mostly for papers and LW/EAF articles
I have a shortcut to add “https://r.jina.ai/″ to the url before to convert to markdown and then I just ctrl+A the entire page and chat
For privacy reasons I have only allowed the extension in https://r.jina.ai/* and https://www.youtube.com/*
I use similar prompts than Jacques. Some additional ones: —Justify your previous answers citing the from original text —Challenge my knowledge (here I have a longer promt where it asks me to du stuff like draw a mindmap, answer questions,...)
I also have it with (external) whisper cause often I think better outloud
Pros:
Fast
Basically free
Way easier to digest and interact with dry papers/articles
Customazible prompts for the conversation which make workflow faster cause you only have to click
For youtube as a first filter
Cons:
gpt40-mini (at least) hallucinates a bunch so you often have to ask to justify the answers
(as with all the chatbots) you shall take the responses with a grain of salt, be very specific with your questions and reread the original relevant sections to double check.
Other:
IMO if you end up integrating something like this in LW I think it would be net positive. Specially if you can link it to @stampy or similar to ask for clarification questions about concepts, …
