Aside co-founder Chanhee shared on X today that the browser’s next update will stop websites from constantly mistaking its built-in AI assistant for a spam bot. According to his post, “the detection rate is significantly dropped, so it won’t be flagged as a bot most of the time.”

For context, anyone who has tried using an AI browser or even an AI agent like Grok Bot or Hark to handle tasks for them knows how frustrating it is to run into endless security puzzles or account warnings, especially on strict platforms like LinkedIn.

When a user asked if the update would help there, Chanhee explained that while Aside will no longer trip automated software checks, you still have to avoid obvious bot behavior like opening three profiles in ten seconds.

This development comes just days after the company outlined the Aside v2 roadmap, which drops the AI browser label and shifts the focus toward background automation and full desktop control. In the replies to today’s post, Chanhee noted that he hopes v2 will roll out “in this month to early next month” and confirmed that the overhaul is coming to Windows too.

Speaking of Windows, co-founder and CTO Dora Lee dropped a separate teaser on X a couple of hours later asking users, “wanna Windows version of Aside, but arm64?”

That strongly hints at a native build for Snapdragon-powered Windows laptops, where running standard apps through emulation usually drains the battery and slows things down.

PiunikaWeb’s Take

Getting past bot filters is make-or-break if Aside wants people to trust its upcoming cloud agents with real work, because an assistant that gets your LinkedIn account restricted is practically useless. At the same time, building a native Windows on Arm version is a lot to juggle when the developers are still trying to fix heavy memory and CPU usage on existing platforms.

Having tested Aside extensively on an M2 MacBook Air alongside rivals like Dia and Comet, tab switching still feels sluggish despite repeated promises of a lighter footprint. If the team can finally smooth out those performance hiccups while keeping its agents off anti-bot radars, Aside v2 might actually live up to the hype when it lands in the next few weeks.
