Strawberry 1.0

What makes it different

Strawberry is a browser with built-in AI companions that take real work off your hands: they learn your preferences and workflows, then work inside the accounts you are already signed into, clicking, typing, researching and summarising on your behalf. Version 1.0, released after a year that began with invite-only access, makes the companions faster and steadier and able to take on far more of your work.

Every companion gets a new look you can customise, and you can hire one of nine ready-made companions, like Sales Sally for lead generation or Talent Theo, each arriving knowing its job. Companion Plaza is the lighter side: companions hang around the new tab, chat with each other about your day, and fly up to work when you click one. Companions ask for approval before key actions, so you stay in control. Strawberry is free to download and try, with full access from $20 a month, and was founded by Charles Maddock with co-founders Sebastian Thunman and Arian Hanifi.
