What Knapsack Sidepanel is
Knapsack Sidepanel is a Chrome extension that places an AI assistant in the browser sidebar, next to whatever tab you are already working in. It connects to business systems including Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Drive, Dropbox, calendars, and custom MCP servers, so you can ask questions about real business data rather than a generic model. Agents can understand a goal, plan steps, and report back while they work, and they can be built in natural language without code. Workflows can be shared with teammates and run on demand or on a schedule. The product states SOC2 Type 2 certification and HIPAA compliance, and says user data is not used for training. A free trial is offered.
What you can do with it
- Chat with connected business data in the sidebar
- Assign research, planning, or data entry to an agent
- Build a custom agent without writing code
- Share and rerun workflows with your team
Who it is for
- Sales professionals tired of manual CRM entry
- Executives who need answers from scattered systems
- Consultants producing research-heavy deliverables
- Teams wanting automation inside the browser
What to watch out for
The free trial is a sample, and paid plans apply for regular use, so confirm pricing before you wire it into a team's daily routine. Connecting CRM and Drive data widens the privacy surface considerably: an assistant that can read your systems can also be prompted into revealing them, so review permissions, access control, and retention carefully, especially for customer records. Agents are only as good as their setup, and a loosely defined agent can produce confident nonsense, so verify output before it reaches a customer or a report. The extension is Chrome only, and it depends on those connected services staying available and authenticated.
