Copilot in EdgeStrawberry vs Copilot in Edge
Microsoft Edge can click, type and move between tabs for you. Microsoft calls the feature experimental and recommends monitoring its activity closely. So you are still the one sitting there. You describe the task, you follow the cursor, you take the tab back, then you finish the last part yourself. The work you owe people was never one browsing session anyway. It is the recap after the call, the record nobody updated, the task your engineer is waiting on. Strawberry is a browser too, so your AI companion is already signed in where that work lives. You approve once, and the finished work turns up in the tools your team opens every morning.
| What you are weighing | Strawberry | Copilot in Edge |
|---|---|---|
| Whether you have to sit and watch | Your AI companion works in the sessions you are signed into while you do something else, and you read the finished work at the end. | Microsoft calls Browse with Copilot experimental and recommends monitoring its activity closely. |
| What the work turns into | A recap drafted in your voice, an account record updated with what was actually said, and a task filed in your project tool with the quote attached. | Microsoft documents it performing actions in Edge such as clicking, typing and navigating tabs. |
| How much of your stack it reaches | 2,000+ integrations, so the finished work lands in your CRM, your inbox, Notion or a shared sheet instead of a chat panel. | Microsoft documents Copilot's consumer connectors as OneDrive, Outlook.com, Google Drive, and Google Gmail, Calendar and Contacts. |
| What it remembers | Your AI companion holds a customer's last three calls, the contract and the numbers behind their renewal, so the tenth recap beats the first. | Journeys groups your browsing into cards using page titles and content, how long you stayed, your navigation path and your Copilot chats. |
| Where the checkpoint sits | Every connected action is set to ask, always allow, or off, and approval opens an editor with the recipient, the full text and the attachments. | Copilot asks for attention and supervision on actions such as buying an item, booking a reservation or sending an email. |
| Who can use it today | Free to download on Mac and Windows, with 2,000 credits a month on the free plan, and ordinary browsing never using credits. | Microsoft says it is rolling out for Microsoft 365 Premium subscribers in the US, and at work it is in a limited preview for enterprise tenants who have opted in. |
| Whether it runs again on Monday | Save the job once, give it a schedule or a trigger, and every run records what it did and what it cost, then hand the whole AI companion to a teammate. | Not documented on the pages cited here. |
An assistant you have to watch is not time you got back.
Take the renewal call you had on Tuesday, and the recap you promised your customer by Friday.
Your customer wants the two things you agreed to, in writing. Your account record still says what it said last quarter. Your engineer is waiting on the one fix that came up near the end.
None of that is hard. It is slow because it lives in four places, and someone has to walk between them.
Strawberry records the call, then does the walk. Your AI companion drafts the recap in your voice, updates the record with what was actually said, and files the task for your engineer with the quote attached. You read three things and approve them. You did not watch any of it happen.
Your finished work should arrive as a record, not as a message about the record.
The account record, the drafts folder and the project tool are all sites you are signed into.
Strawberry is the browser holding those sessions, so your AI companion writes into them directly. That includes the internal portal with no public interface at all.
That is also why it reaches 2,000+ integrations rather than a handful. Microsoft documents Copilot's consumer connectors as OneDrive, Outlook.com, Google Drive, and Google Gmail, Calendar and Contacts, available on Copilot.com and Copilot Mobile.
So the output has a real destination. The recap sits in your drafts with the transcript linked beside it. The renewal date and both commitments land on the account record itself. The task arrives in your project tool, assigned, with a due date your engineer can see.
Remembering your browsing is not the same as remembering your customer.
Generic writing is an evidence problem, not a model problem.
Ask anything to write a renewal recap with no history and you get a paragraph about nobody.
Microsoft's Journeys groups your browsing into cards, using page titles and content, how long you stayed, your navigation path and your Copilot chats. It is available in Edge on Windows and Mac when you are signed in with a personal Microsoft account.
Strawberry keeps a different kind of memory. Your AI companion holds what you told it about this customer, the last three calls, the contract and the numbers behind the renewal. The tenth recap it writes for you beats the first, because it has read the nine before it.
You also get more than one. Keep an AI companion for accounts and another for competitor research, each with its own memory and its own thinking effort. Run one fast for triage at nine, then turn the other up for the thing that matters at four.
You should be able to approve the send without supervising every click.
Reading a page, drafting a reply, sending that reply and changing a live record carry four different risks. Strawberry treats them as four separate decisions.
Every connected action is set to ask, always allow, or off. Let it draft the recap in your inbox all day. Require your approval before anything sends. Payments can be off entirely.
When approval is needed you get an editor. You see the recipient, the full text, the attachments and the destination before any of it moves. On a reply it shows you the address it resolved so you can correct it, and it never quietly copies the rest of the thread back in.
Microsoft documents a different checkpoint. Copilot asks for attention and supervision on actions such as buying an item, booking a reservation or sending an email. On higher-risk sites such as banking and email, it asks you to monitor the work or take control.
The job you did once should run again on Monday without you in the room.
Most work that matters repeats. You will owe another recap next Tuesday, and another the Tuesday after that.
Save it once and Strawberry keeps how you like it done. It knows which sources count, what the finished recap has to contain, and where you want to look before it carries on.
Then give it a schedule, or a trigger such as a new email landing. Every run keeps a record of what it did and what it cost. That record is what you read afterwards, instead of sitting through the work.
Then give the work away entirely. An AI companion carries its memory, its skills and its connected accounts, so a teammate receives a colleague who already knows the account. Your team workspace holds the shared files and process, and shared credits cover whoever needs them.
