Launching Firmware Sidekick on Product Hunt
Colby Gilbert
We each have a browser on our computer, but it becomes truly powerful when you can let AI use it for you. That's why we built Firmware Sidekick: a Chrome extension that turns your browser into an intelligent assistant that clicks, types, and navigates automatically.
Today, we're launching on Product Hunt, and we'd love your support.
Browser Automation for Everyone
When we first built Sidekick, it started as a simple question: "What if you could describe a task in plain English, and AI could carry it out in your browser?"
Most AI tools are ephemeral—you ask a question, get an answer, and that's it. On the other end, traditional automation requires coding skills and technical setup. Sidekick collapses this gap.
With just a natural-language prompt, anyone can automate complex, multi-step tasks:
- "Find me a developer on Upwork with web automation experience"
- "Extract data from this table and add it to my spreadsheet"
- "Fill out this government form using info from my documents"
Sidekick handles it all in your actual browser, using your existing logins and authenticated sessions.
How Firmware Sidekick Works
- Describe the task in plain English
- Watch Sidekick work in real-time: clicks, form fills, navigation across multiple tabs
- Stay in control with granular permissions—you decide what it can access
- Teach it workflows by recording yourself, then reuse them anytime
- Choose your AI between OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini for each task
What You Can Build Today
- Fill tedious forms at scale across vendor portals and government sites
- Compile research from multiple websites into organized summaries
- Move data between platforms when no API exists
- Automate client intakes and repetitive administrative tasks
