Brave Leo StrawberryThe Brave Leo alternative that finishes the work for you
Hand a companion the forty-tab sourcing job and get the sheet back with the emails verified. Brave is Chromium-based, so passwords, bookmarks and history import in a few minutes.
The switch is short. Brave is Chromium-based, so Strawberry imports passwords, bookmarks and history during onboarding and you are working in minutes. Free to download on Mac and Windows.
What starts happening after that is execution. The forty-tab sourcing job, the thirty CRM records that need updating, the vendor pricing that needs extracting into one table, the outreach that needs drafting from research: a companion runs each of those passes in the accounts you are signed into and hands back the finished thing.
Brave Leo is an assistant, and a private one. Per Brave, there is no account needed to chat, conversations are not stored on its servers, IP addresses are stripped before a request reaches the model and nothing is used for training. It summarizes the page, the PDF or the video you are on. There is a free tier with premium models behind a subscription, as of this writing.

What does a companion finish that an assistant leaves?
The forty-tab sourcing pass comes back as rows with verified emails.
Thirty vendor pages come back as one table. The CRM records get updated with a card before each write. The outreach comes back drafted from the research, in your voice, waiting for a click.
Companions run those across your tabs and logged-in tools, with native integrations for Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Notion, Zoom and Apollo. That is the workload our competitive suite is built from, published for rerun at /benchmarks/spec. The daily shapes are in sales prospecting and data extraction.
How much of your week is browser work?
Count the hours going on tabs rather than thinking.
Most professional weeks hide an afternoon of it: the list that needs building, the portal that needs filling, the pricing that needs pulling into a sheet.
A companion takes that afternoon and does not get bored halfway through the eightieth row. You review a finished result instead of assembling one.
Two privacy postures, stated plainly
Strawberry’s posture is control and visibility, because a companion acts. Work happens in your session, in front of you. You connect a tool once and see exactly what it can reach before you allow it, and consequential steps stop for explicit approval. The model is documented on our security page.
Brave’s posture is minimization: the less that leaves your machine and the less retained, the better, which is achievable for an assistant that only reads.
What the switch actually looks like
Import takes a few minutes, and then you get the execution layer: companions, scheduled routines for the recurring jobs, skills that turn a proven pass into one line, meeting prep and transcription for the calls.
Keep Awake holds the machine up so a long run finishes with the lid shut, and the results are waiting when you open it.
