Strawberry raises $6M to make advanced AI automation intuitive
Strawberry, a Stockholm-based startup, has secured $6 million in funding to further develop its AI-powered browser designed to automate routine digital tasks. The investment, led by General Catalyst and EQT Ventures, underscores the growing interest in accessible AI solutions for a wider audience beyond large enterprises. This funding will enable the company to expand its engineering and design teams. Strawberry's browser integrates AI directly into the browsing experience, providing a no-code, adaptive workspace for users. It streamlines tasks such as tab switching, data transfer between tools, and message drafting, all while adapting to individual user workflows. Early adopters have created custom assistants for purposes like competitive intelligence, highlighting the platform's versatility and potential. The platform targets freelancers, startups, and small businesses, which often lack the resources for complex AI implementations. By embedding AI directly into a familiar interface, Strawberry aims to democratize automation, allowing users to focus on higher-value activities. The company's upgraded version, featuring new functionalities, will be rolled out to its beta community.
