Sidekick

ActiveAI-native

AI agent that handles frontline operations over text

What it does

Sidekick is an AI assistant for frontline manufacturing workers. Sidekick lets workers text problems, photos, or voice memos in any language; it answers from the company's own documents, creates and routes the work order, and syncs with software the company already runs. Sidekick captures the tribal knowledge in veterans' heads - the know-how that usually walks out the door when they retire - into a searchable knowledge base the company owns. No app, no login, works on any phone.
