Context is king. These sidebars are basically life support for your fried dopamine receptors. Doesn’t matter if you’re a paranoid hoarder running local models or a clown juggling 47 AIs — there’s a sidebar built to babysit you. **The only rule?** Don’t chase FOMO, chase what keeps you lazy but effective. Start free, break it, then pretend you’re “scaling” while the AI does your homework. _2025 without an AI sidebar is like raw-dogging Internet Explorer — possible, but you’ll probably hate yourself._
