Using Chrome for Research? Meet Strawberry, the First Agentic AI Browser

Still, using Google Chrome or Bing for research? Ask yourselves, is your web browser just a window or a real workspace? Most web browsers do offer AI ability, but it is currently limited to an AI overview, which, although helpful, can also give you wrong answers. Is it really worth it? In the current era of AI agents and agentic AI workflow, where companies constantly emphasize an autonomous agentic future, why not use an agentic AI-powered browser? AI assistants that work with you directly online.

Strawberry is the first agentic browser to introduce the idea of integrating agentic AI into your daily browsing. This agentic web browser integrates artificial intelligence (AI) into everyday web activities, promising to automate tedious work across many websites. Could this agentic AI-powered browser help redefine business productivity online? Early signs suggest it might simplify common digital workflows.

What is Strawberry, the first agentic browser?

Strawberry is the agentic web browser with built-in AI assistants that can operate with you on any website you visit. Consider these agents as your personal team of AI helpers; you can teach them to handle repetitive online tasks.

Strawberry can research companies, find potential leads on platforms like LinkedIn, interact with your customer relationship management (CRM) system, summarize meeting notes, and draft follow-up messages.

Strawberry automates tasks across different websites, including internal company dashboards, and with tools like Google Drive. Users do not need any coding skills to automate workflow with this agentic web browser.

Key Features and Functions

This browser brings AI capabilities into your work routine. Here are some core functions Strawberry offers:

• Automated Research: Quickly gather information from hundreds of websites.

• Website Workflow Automation: Creates automated steps for tasks on any site and works even behind login pages.

• Writing Assistance: Helps draft emails, reports, or other content, learning to match your personal writing style.

• Meeting Support: It can transcribe audio from meetings and create discussion summaries.

• Information Recall: Remembers important details from web pages you visit often.

Staying Focused, Boost Efficiency

If used effectively, the browser can keep users focused. Users can teach the AI assistants tasks step-by-step, mirroring how you would instruct a person. The idea is to free you up for more critical thinking. Strawberry specifically targets "grunt work," tasks like researching leads, categorizing them, and adding them to sheets or CRMs can be automated. Because the assistants live inside the browser, they use your existing accounts, allowing them to work on sites requiring logins. You remain in charge; Strawberry asks for approval before acting.

The system also learns your methods and preferences over time and adapts to your workflows and context, much like a colleague might. You can use pre-built assistants for common needs or create your own custom helpers for specific jobs. For example, assistants help with competitive analysis, data extraction, and LinkedIn activities, while others assist with finding content for newsletters or website maintenance.

Conclusion
