Strawberry, the Stockholm-based startup behind an AI browser built for teams, released Strawberry Browser 1.0 on Oct. 26, 2026, ending the beta for macOS and Windows. Plans run from free to $250 a month.
The company, backed by General Catalyst and EQT Ventures, is aiming the release at non-technical enterprise teams, Tech.eu reported. It describes the product as an enterprise alternative to ChatGPT and Claude.
A browser with colleagues inside
Strawberry calls its product "agentic": a full desktop browser with AI companions built in. According to the company's product pages, those agents operate inside the tabs and accounts a user is already signed into. They can browse, click, type and use connected apps, then stop to ask for approval before anything consequential, such as sending an email, making a payment or deleting something.
The homepage lists a long menu of tasks: parallel research, meeting transcription, email drafting, CRM updates, slide and diagram building, and scheduled routines. Gmail, Slack, Notion and Google Suite are among the connected apps, and the browser supports Chrome extensions.
Charles Maddock, the CEO and a co-founder, told Tech.eu why the company chose a browser over a standalone app.
"The reason we chose to make Strawberry a browser on your device is because if you think about the work you do on a daily basis, you are not in 10 different files on your computer, you are actually in ten different tabs inside your browser," Maddock said.
What 1.0 adds
Release notes posted Oct. 26 describe several new pieces. Users can design how their companions look and "hire" from nine role templates, among them "Sales Sally" and "Talent Theo." A new Library gathers everything the companions produce, with search and previews. A Meetings page keeps recordings, transcripts, summaries, decisions and action items in one place, and transcripts show who said what.
Then there is the Companion Plaza, a new-tab page where the companions wander about and users can click on them to start a conversation. It is a playful touch for a product pitched at enterprise buyers.
Several earlier features carry into 1.0: split tabs (February 2026), routines (March 2026) and local file sandbox access for companions (April 2026). Support for more than 100 new apps and Chrome extensions arrived May 26, 2026, followed by encrypted cross-device chat sync on Aug. 15, 2026. Passwords, history and cookies remain on the device, the company said.
