What is the main difference between Strawberry and Gemini in Chrome?

Who opens the tabs. Gemini in Chrome responds using content from your current browser tab. Your AI companion in Strawberry opens the pages itself, reads across many at once, and delivers the work rather than a description of it.

Can Gemini in Chrome do tasks for me?

Its auto browse completes multi-step tasks on the web, for users 18 or over in the US, on Google AI Ultra or Google AI Pro, with a device language set to English. It is capped at up to 20 requests per day on Pro and up to 200 on Ultra.

Can Strawberry use the tabs I already have open?

Yes, and it opens its own. Your AI companion works in the sessions you are already signed into, so it finishes work sitting behind a login instead of asking you to fetch it.

How do I stop it sending something by mistake?

Give every connected action its own setting of ask, always allow, or off. A big job does not change that: each action still stops where you told it to, and shows you what it is about to send.

Can it run without me?

Yes. Save the workflow, then give it a schedule or a trigger such as a new email arriving. Each run records what it did and what it cost, and the work continues while the panel is closed.

Strawberry is free to download on Mac and Windows, and the free plan carries 2,000 credits a month. Paid plans start at $20 a month. There is no per-day request cap, and ordinary browsing uses none of your credits.

Gemini in Chrome Strawberry

Gemini in Chrome alternative

Gemini in Chrome is a panel beside your tabs. Your work is not in the panel, and it is not in the tab you happen to be looking at either. It is the sixty tickets nobody has grouped, the renewals nobody has checked, the report someone is expecting on Thursday. So the afternoon goes the way it always goes. You open the tabs, you hand over the ones it can read, you take the answer, then you go and do the job yourself. Strawberry is the browser, so the opening is its job and not yours. Your AI companion reads many pages at once, and what comes back is the finished work, in the tool your team already opens every morning.

What you are weighing	Strawberry	Gemini in Chrome
Who opens the pages	Your AI companion opens the pages itself, follows the links inside them, and works through many at once.	Google documents that it responds using content from your current browser tab, and that you can add up to 10 of your recent open tabs.
How much of the job fits in a day	No per-day request cap. It splits the work across many pages at once and hands parts to sub-agents with their own clean context.	Google documents auto browse at up to 20 requests a day on Google AI Pro and up to 200 on Ultra, with a separate limit on tasks running at the same time.
Where the finished work ends up	2,000+ integrations, so the finished list arrives in your helpdesk, your sheet or your team channel rather than in a chat panel.	Not documented on the pages cited here.
Who has to switch it on	Download Strawberry on Mac or Windows and connect the accounts you choose.	Google documents that access to Gemini in Chrome for a work or school Google Account must be enabled by your administrator.
What happens before anything is sent	Every connected action carries its own ask, always allow or off setting, and an approval opens what is about to be sent, still editable.	Google documents that it asks for review and confirmation before certain actions, including sending communications, modifying your data and submitting web forms.
Payments and anything else you would never delegate	Payments can be set to off, and stay off until you change the setting yourself.	Google documents that it may ask you to take over for steps like finalizing financial transactions.
Whose account it runs in	Connect more than one account for the same app, and choose which one each job runs against.	Google documents that auto browse asks you to sign in to Chrome with a personal Google Account, and that it is not available with a school Google Account.

The job is always bigger than the tabs you can hand over.

Think about the work that never reaches the top of your list.

Say it was grouping the sixty open support tickets into the bugs behind them, for your engineering lead. You have to read every ticket. You have to spot the ones describing the same problem in different words. It has to arrive somewhere your engineering lead can actually work from.

None of that is hidden. It is sitting in your helpdesk, sixty tickets deep, with logs linked from half of them. It is slow because a person has to open them one at a time.

A panel that reads the tabs you give it still starts with you opening the tabs. Strawberry takes that part too. Your AI companion opens the tickets itself, follows the logs, and works through many of them at once. What comes back is the grouped list, with the ticket numbers sitting behind every group.

Twenty requests a day is not a workload.

Google documents the ceiling on auto browse plainly.

It is up to 20 requests per day on a Google AI Pro plan, and up to 200 per day on Ultra. There is a separate limit on how many multi-step tasks run at the same time.

Strawberry sets no per-day request cap. It splits a big job instead. Your AI companion opens many pages at once and hands parts of the work to sub-agents, each with its own clean context. That is why a sixty-ticket sweep finishes while you are still reading the first one.

Those pages keep running while they are hidden, so closing the panel does not stop the work. If you close a tab that still has a task on it, Strawberry warns you first, because closing it does not stop the task either.

A daily cap limits one day. The other half of capacity is the days you are not there. Save the job once, then give it a schedule or a trigger such as a new email arriving. Every run records what it did and what it cost, so you can check the work instead of trusting it.

The finished work has to arrive in your helpdesk, not in the panel beside it.

A grouping of sixty tickets is only worth having where your engineering lead already works.

Gemini in Chrome responds using content from your current browser tab, and you can add up to 10 of your recent open tabs across your browser windows.

Strawberry reaches 2,000+ integrations, so the finished work has somewhere real to go. The ticket update is written against the actual ticket, with the evidence attached to it. Rows arrive in your sheet with the source linked beside each value. The reply waits in your inbox as a draft.

Your engineering lead opens the helpdesk on Monday and the grouping is already on the tickets.

Nothing gets sent until you have read the exact thing that will be sent.

Reading a ticket is not the same decision as closing it, and drafting a reply is not the same decision as sending it. Strawberry keeps them apart.

Every connected action is set to ask, always allow, or off. Updating a ticket can run unattended. Emailing the customer who raised it can wait for you. Payments can be off entirely, and stay off.

What you approve is the reply itself, not a summary of it. You can change who it goes to, rewrite a line, or take the attachment off before it moves. On a reply the resolved address is shown so you can correct it, and the rest of the thread is not copied in without you asking.

Gemini in Chrome documents that it asks for review and confirmation before certain actions, including sending communications, modifying your data and submitting web forms, and that it may ask you to take over for steps like finalizing financial transactions. It also documents that working as an agent is an experimental feature.

The thing that acts for you should work for the account your job is in.

Auto browse asks you to sign in to Chrome with a personal Google Account.

Google documents that it is not available if you sign in to Chrome with a school Google Account. For a work or school Google Account, access to Gemini in Chrome must be enabled by your administrator.

Strawberry works in whatever accounts you authorize, and it holds more than one account for the same app with a default you choose. The work account and the personal one can both be connected, and you pick which the job runs against.

Then give the whole thing away. Send the AI companion to your engineering lead and its memory, its skills and its instructions go with it. They point it at their own accounts and have a working teammate on the first morning, not a document about one. Your team workspace holds the shared files and process, and shared team credits cover whoever needs them.
