Strawberry vs Brave Leo

Changing the model does not give an assistant anything new to read.

Think about the proposal that has been sitting at eighty percent since Tuesday.

It is the one you owe the prospect who asked for it on the call. She wants the numbers from her trial, the two objections she raised answered, and the price your team agreed.

None of that is hidden. The usage sits in your product dashboard. The objections are in the call notes. The price is in a thread from last week that you would have to go and find.

Brave documents that Leo offers pre-installed models from Claude, DeepSeek, Gemma, Llama and Qwen, and that you can bring your own. A different model writes a better paragraph from the material you hand it. It does not go and collect the material you did not hand it.

Strawberry gives you that choice too, attached to something that goes and collects. Each AI companion has its own model and its own thinking effort. Fast for triage at nine, turned all the way up for the proposal that decides your quarter.

Strawberry works inside the accounts where the evidence actually sits.

Pulling the trial usage means opening the product dashboard, signed in as someone allowed to see it. Strawberry is the browser that login lives in, so your AI companion reads the dashboard, the billing portal and the pricing thread the same way you would.

That is also why it reaches 2,000+ integrations rather than a short connector list. The dashboard your trial usage sits in is almost certainly one of them, and your AI companion can work in it rather than describe it.

So the finished proposal has somewhere to arrive. The document lands in your drive with the usage table already built. The covering note sits in your inbox as a draft. The deal record is prepared with the seat count and the date she asked about.

Brave documents Leo working on the content in front of it: summarising the page you are reading or the video you are watching, analysing spreadsheets, documents and PDFs, translating, and creating new content. It can also summarise several open webpages and tabs in the same chat.

Every number in the proposal comes back with the source beside it.

Brave's own FAQ says Leo's responses may contain misleading information and factual inaccuracies, and recommends double-checking them. Every assistant carries that risk. What differs is how long the checking takes.

When your AI companion gives you the trial usage, the link to where it read that figure sits beside the figure. Verifying one line takes a click. You are not rebuilding the research to find out whether you can trust it.

The same holds for the work that runs without you. Each routine run is recorded with what it did and what it cost. Files in your workspace keep version history, so you can see when a number changed and why.

Nothing reaches the prospect until you have read the words that will be sent.

Reading her usage, drafting the proposal, sending it and changing the deal record carry very different risk. Strawberry treats each one as its own decision.

Every connected action is set to ask, always allow, or off. Let it draft the proposal all morning. Require your approval before anything reaches her. Switch payments off and they stay off.

When something needs approval you get a real editor, not a yes or no box. You see the recipient, the full text and the attachments, and you can change any of it first. On a reply the resolved address is shown before it goes, and the rest of the thread is not copied in unless you say so.

The proposal that won should still be repeatable when someone else owns the account.

You will write this proposal again next quarter, for a different prospect, from the same four places. That makes it a process, not a one-off.

Save it once and Strawberry keeps how you like it done. The sources you trust. The order the sections go in. The point where you want to look before anything goes out.

Then give it a schedule, or a trigger such as a new email arriving. Every run is logged with what it did and what it cost, so automated work stays auditable instead of mysterious.

Then hand the whole thing over. An AI companion carries its memory, its skills and its connected accounts. The next person to own the account inherits how you sell, not a document about it. Your team workspace holds the shared files, and one credit pool covers everyone working the account.
