does nanobrowser work with my logged in accounts

It runs in your own Chrome, so it shares that ground. The differences sit around the agent: model supply, approvals, scheduling, and who answers when something breaks.

do i need my own openai or anthropic key for strawberry

No. Credits are included to start and paid plans begin at $20/month. Nanobrowser expects you to bring and manage your own model keys, as of this writing.

is an extension or a dedicated agentic browser better

A dedicated browser owns the full surface: native integrations, routines with run history, meeting transcription, and an approval card before every consequential step. The category difference is unpacked at /what-is-an-agentic-browser-vs-ai-browser.

Nanobrowser Strawberry

The local agent, finished and supported

Credits instead of keys, routines with run history, meeting transcripts, and a card before every send. Nanobrowser is the free, open-source Chrome extension you bring your own model keys to.

The first job runs on credits that are already there. No provider account, no key to rotate, nothing to set up again on the next machine. Around it sit routines on a daily, interval, cron or app trigger with run history, meeting recording with searchable transcripts, 93 native integrations carrying 1,257 hand-written operations, and a card in front of every send, record change and payment.

Nanobrowser makes the same architectural bet: open source, free, and as of this writing you plug in your own model API keys and get a multi-agent loop running locally inside your own Chrome. So the difference here is not where the agent runs. It is everything wrapped around the agent.

The same local bet, wrapped differently Scroll →

	Nanobrowser	Strawberry
Where the agent runs	“Everything runs in your local browser. Your credentials stay with you, never shared with any cloud service”, per its README	The same local bet, built as the browser instead of bolted onto one, on Mac and Windows
What you install	An “Open-Source Chrome extension for AI-powered web automation”, Apache 2.0	A desktop browser you download and sign into
Model access	“You only pay what you use with your own API keys”, across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, Groq, Cerebras, Llama and OpenAI-compatible providers	Credits included to start, a Fast and a Smart model per companion with its own thinking effort, and no key to rotate
Connected accounts	Its README lists model providers rather than connected app accounts, as of this writing	About a hundred you authorise, reads and staged writes, with a permission setting on each action
Recurring work	Scheduling is not described in its README, as of this writing	Routines on a daily time, an interval, a cron expression, or an app trigger such as a new email, with run history and per-run credit cost
Approval before a consequential action	Its README does not describe an approval gate, as of this writing; the code is open, so you can read what it does	A card naming the exact send, change or payment, with Ask Always mode in Settings → AI permissions for everything else
Meeting work	Not a published claim on its README, as of this writing	Meeting prep and transcription ship in the browser, with the follow-through in the tools afterwards
Who answers when it breaks	The community, on the repository	Support, and updates that arrive with the browser rather than a dependency bump

What does bring-your-own-keys involve?

An account with a model provider, a billing relationship, key management, and model choices you make yourself, per machine, per person you set up.

Strawberry bundles model access as credits: included free to start, paid plans from $20/month at /pricing, no keys anywhere.

What stands between the agent and a bad click?

A designed gate. Sending, deleting, purchasing and posting pause on an approval card that shows exactly what is about to happen, and Ask Always mode in Settings → AI permissions extends the pause to everything. When an agent works inside your logged-in accounts, that pre-action gate carries the weight, and the security model is built around it.

What the browser owns that an extension does not

Native integrations for Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Notion, Zoom and Apollo instead of scraping them. Scheduled routines for the work that repeats. Meeting prep and transcription. An agent loop that is a first-class citizen of the browser rather than a guest in it.

Complete runs are at /real-runs.

One sentence, sixty rows

Give a companion sixty rows in a sheet and it opens sixty company sites, reads each one, and fills the column with a source link on every row. Save it as a routine and the next sixty happen at the hour you pick.
