What's new
in Strawberry
Strawberry now launches 57% faster, Slack and Notion got a stability overhaul, and there's a brand-new floating AI controller for when your companion takes the wheel. Plus a new invite system, share your code with a friend and you both get free credits.
New AI Controller
When your companion is browsing a tab, there's now a sleek floating controller that stays out of your way while giving you full oversight, pause, stop, or watch what it's doing at a glance. Tool blocks in chat also got a visual refresh with cleaner icons and expandable details.
57% Faster Startup
Launching Strawberry now feels nearly instant. We cut startup time from 6.7 seconds down to 2.9 seconds. If you were waiting a few seconds on launch before, that wait is basically gone.
Slack & Notion Integrations
Both got overhauled for stability. Connect your Slack workspace to search messages across channels and DMs without leaving Strawberry. Connect Notion to browse your pages, add comments, and update content, everything stays in sync automatically. Set them up in Settings → Integrations.
Invite Friends, Get Free Credits
There's a new referral system built right into the app. Share your personal invite code with friends, when they sign up, you both get free credits. You can find your invite link in your account settings or click the present icon in the bottom left corner of the screen.
New Website
We gave strawberrybrowser.com a fresh coat of paint, new intro animation, a use cases section, and a faster experience overall.
