Strawberry is a desktop browser for Mac and Windows with AI "companions" that work inside your open tabs. Ask Sales Sally for prospects from LinkedIn and she builds the lead list in a Google Sheet, with company names and a fit rating. Talent Theo scores candidates against a role. Executive Ellis writes a morning brief and tracks follow-ups. You can also build your own companion around a process your team repeats every week.
Because it's a real browser, the companions can work on pages behind your logins, like LinkedIn, HubSpot, and Gmail. Strawberry says passwords, cookies, and history stay on your machine, and you set permissions per app and per action. It also transcribes Zoom, Teams, and Meet calls without a bot joining. Browsing is free. Companion work costs credits: 500 a month free, then $20 for 6,000, up to $250 for 75,000.
AI browsers have mostly been built for people who enjoy tinkering. Strawberry is aimed at the recruiter and the account exec who spend half the day copying things from one tab into a spreadsheet. The companions come with job titles and routines already set up, so you start with "find me leads" instead of a blank chat box. That's the right call.
It left beta on October 26 and finished the week in Product Hunt's top five. The "100 hours a week" line is the company's math for a ten-person team, so read it as a sales pitch. The real test is whether a companion survives LinkedIn's layout and your CRM's quirks for a month. If your week is mostly research and data entry, it's worth that month.
Skip it if you want answers, not actions; ChatGPT or Claude in your usual browser already does that. If you want a browser to hand to your own agents, BrowserOS neo is the better fit. And watch the meter: every companion action spends credits, so a long prospect list costs more than a quick question.
