Use Sidecar for Bigger Work

Use Sidecar and Helpers when a task needs deeper research, synthesis, or parallel exploration.

Ask Losi for a larger research or synthesis task.

Sidecar is built into Losi for complex chat turns. In current settings copy, Losi describes Sidecar as an always-on system tool that can fan out internal Losi Max Helpers during complex work.

Use it when the answer should not be a quick guess: market research, competitor analysis, idea synthesis, launch planning, customer research, pitch prep, content strategy, studying a complex topic, or comparing options before a decision.

When to use it

  • The task has multiple independent research paths.
  • You want a synthesized report, not a single short answer.
  • You need tradeoffs, options, assumptions, and next steps.
  • You want follow-up tasks or notes after the research is done.

Write a Sidecar-friendly prompt

1

State the decision or deliverable

Say whether you want a report, plan, comparison table, pitch outline, study guide, or task list.

2

Give boundaries

Add market, audience, deadline, budget, sources, and what should be excluded.

3

Ask for synthesis

Request findings, confidence, open questions, risks, and recommended next actions.

Turn the result into work

When the report is useful, ask Losi to convert follow-ups into tasks, save key findings as a note, or create a Space for the project.

For important work, review the sources, assumptions, and recommendations before acting.
