Bothsides Multi Perspecti

Every news article tells one side of the story. BothSides gives you the rest.

BothSides is a Chrome side panel extension that uses AI to analyze any public news article and deliver a balanced, multi-perspective breakdown in real time. Navigate to an article, click "Analyze," and get five sections of structured insight streamed directly alongside the page you're reading.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Navigate to any public news article on the web.
2. Open the BothSides side panel and click "Analyze This Article."
3. Read the AI-generated analysis as it streams in, section by section.

WHAT YOU GET

Each analysis includes five sections designed to help you think critically:

- Both Sides Summary: A fair presentation of the strongest arguments from every perspective on the issue, not just the one the article favors.

- Voice of the Opposition: The most compelling counterargument to the article's position, constructed as a steel-man — the best version of the opposing view, not a straw man.

- The Undisputed Facts: What all sides agree on, cleanly separated from opinion and interpretation.

- Stance & Framing: How the article's word choices, structure, and emphasis shape your perception of the topic.

- Missing Context & Omissions: Important background, data, or perspectives that the article leaves out — whether deliberately or incidentally.

WHY BOTHSIDES?

In an era of increasing media polarization, it's easy to read only one perspective and mistake it for the whole picture. BothSides doesn't tell you what to think — it gives you the information you need to think for yourself.

- AI-powered for nuanced, thoughtful analysis
- Newspaper-inspired design that feels like a natural extension of your reading
- Real-time streaming so you can read as the analysis generates
- Light and dark themes for comfortable reading day or night

PRIVACY & TRUST

BothSides is built with privacy as a core principle:

- Only reads page content when you explicitly click "Analyze" — never in the background
- No browsing history collection, no tracking
- Requires explicit user consent before the first analysis
- Works only on public news articles — automatically blocks mail, docs, banking, and private pages
- Article content is sent to BothSides servers solely for analysis and is not stored

Perfect for journalists, researchers, students, or anyone who wants to be a more informed reader. Stop reading the news in a bubble — see both sides.
