Dokkio, a provider of AI-driven office tools, has announced Dokkio Sidebar 5, a pioneering browser extension designed to seamlessly integrate personal and business content into AI chat interactions. The tool allows users to continue using their preferred AI chatbot—such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini—and automatically receive responses informed by their own documents and data when relevant. This eliminates the need to manually upload files for each conversation, making capabilities like searching, summarizing, and generating content from private information as simple as using a standard chat interface.
Quick Intel
Dokkio Sidebar 5 is a browser extension for Chrome and Edge.
It connects personal and business content to AI chatbots.
The tool works with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
It provides AI with context from user content without manual uploads.
The solution is free for users with up to three content sources.
It will be generally available in November 2025.
Solving the Private Content Gap in AI Chat
The new product addresses a fundamental limitation of current AI chatbots: their inherent lack of knowledge about a user's private files, projects, and customer relationships. Dokkio Sidebar 5 acts as a bridge, providing the AI with the necessary context from a user's own content to deliver more relevant and personalized answers without compromising the user's existing workflow or chatbot preference.
"Personal and company content is the Achilles' heel of current AI chat," said Jim Groff, Dokkio's CEO. "Many users expect chatbots like ChatGPT to know all about their private content, just as they appear to know all about the information on the internet. But in fact, without help, chatbots are ignorant of private content... Dokkio ChatPlus closes that gap."
Seamless Integration and Availability
A key feature of the extension is its seamless operation with the three leading chatbots and major browsers. Team members can use different chatbots for different tasks while the Sidebar ensures they all have access to the same shared organizational context, such as project structures. User-specific content remains private to each individual. The company is demonstrating the technology at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 this week, with general availability scheduled for November. The service will be free for users with up to three content sources, with a premium tier priced at $12 per user per month for larger accounts.
This launch represents a significant step in making AI assistants truly contextual by connecting them directly to the information that matters most to individual users and teams, thereby unlocking more powerful and personalized AI-driven workflows.
Dokkio provides AI-powered tools that help knowledge workers and their teams to find, organize, and understand their content, wherever it lives. Dokkio AI automatically tags content to match the way users work – by project, by topic, or by customer, for example – to give it context. Individuals use Dokkio to organize their personal content, and teams use it to organize, understand, and collaborate on shared content.
