Gemini in Chrome StrawberryWhen you want the work done, not explained
Five competitor sites opened, the pricing changes pulled into a sheet with a link on every row, the weekly version saved as a routine. Gemini in Chrome answers questions about the tabs you already have open.
Type “collect the pricing changes from five competitor sites, put them in a sheet, and flag which of our plans they undercut”. The finished sheet comes back with each row linked to the page it came from, and the weekly version saves as a routine that runs at the hour you pick.
An assistant layered onto a browser is built to help while you work: explain, summarize, suggest. Strawberry is built to work while you do something else, in the accounts you are signed into, with your approval gating the consequential steps. The point-by-point comparison is at Strawberry vs. Gemini in Chrome.
| Gemini in Chrome | Strawberry | |
|---|---|---|
| What Google claims it does | “Turn a browser full of open tabs into a clear summary. Ask Gemini to organize specs, pros, and cons” (as of this writing) | Opens the tabs itself, reads them, and writes the result into the sheet or record you named |
| When it acts | “Gemini in Chrome activates only when you choose to use it via clicking on the Gemini icon or keyboard shortcut. It assists on your terms, stepping in only when you ask.” | On one sentence you type, or on a routine you set and stop thinking about |
| The agentic work Google names | “From appointment booking to party planning, tell Gemini what you need and watch it handle the rest” | Work with a deliverable in a business tool: forty records enriched, twelve invoices chased, a shortlist of 34 cut down to nine |
| Reach across apps | “Gemini works across your Google apps to help you power through your day. It can surface a flight time from your inbox, check the details in Google Flights, and draft an update” | Any site your session reaches, plus 93 native integrations and 1,975 connectable apps, Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Notion and Salesforce among them |
| Recurring work | Scheduling is not among the claims on its overview page, as of this writing | Routines on a daily time, an interval, a cron expression, or an app trigger such as a new email, each with its own run history |
| Approval before a consequential action | Its overview page describes control as choosing when to invoke it, and names no per-action gate, as of this writing | A card naming the exact send, change or payment before it happens, and Ask Always mode in Settings → AI permissions for every step |
| Who can have it | “Rolling out first in preview to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S.” (as of this writing) | A free download for Mac and Windows, with credits included to start |
What is the difference in practice?
Run one errand through both: collect the pricing changes from five competitor sites, put them in a sheet, flag which of our plans they undercut. An assistant summarizes each page while you click through the five yourself. A companion takes the sentence and hands back the finished sheet, having done the clicking itself.
Where the marketing blurs that line is unpacked at /what-is-an-agentic-browser-vs-ai-browser.
What happens to work that repeats?
Routines run the Monday pipeline summary, the daily inbox triage and the weekly competitor check on a schedule, and the results land without a prompt. For the browser work that made you search this page, scheduling is most of the value.
Switching costs an afternoon
Strawberry is a standard desktop browser for Mac and Windows: your sites, your logins, importable habits, plus the agent layer. Native integrations for Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Notion, Zoom and Apollo, approval cards backed by Ask Always mode in Settings → AI permissions, and companions you can watch working at /real-runs.
The volume an assistant leaves with you
Sixty company sites read into one sourced sheet.
Forty records enriched against their own pages. Sixty-one tickets triaged and grouped by plan tier. A companion works through row forty at the pace it worked row one.
