About

Sided is a San Diego company that builds an AI-powered polling and community forum platform for digital publishers. Publishers embed Sided polls alongside their articles to raise engagement and time on site, collect first-party audience data, and open a new ad inventory surface inside the poll unit. Its AI poll generator reads the content at a supplied URL and drafts polls matched to that article, replacing manual poll writing.

The polls are generated from and automatically matched to the publisher's own article content, so engagement, first-party data collection, and ad monetization all come from one embed rather than from separate polling, community, and ad tools.
