Stockholm-based Strawberry is launching its "self-driving" AI-powered browser in open beta after a year in closed testing. Strawberry is a browser with built-in AI agents that can surf, click, and perform real tasks on behalf of the user, even on login-protected sites. The idea is to make AI agents available to non-technical users such as salespeople, recruiters, and analysts, without them needing to be able to write advanced prompts or code.

The company is bringing most of the desktop version's capabilities to Android. People can use Perplexity as the default search engine, and they can also mention tabs to ask questions to the assistant. They can also use the voice mode to ask questions about all open tabs. Plus, the assistant can summarize searches across all tabs. Perplexity said the browser can research and shop on your behalf as well, and you can look at what action the Comet assistant is taking.

Atlas aims to serve as a context-aware assistant, capable of understanding user intent and drawing on previous conversations to enhance productivity.

Deta Surf, which is launching in beta today, is both a browser and a research tool that allows you to create notebooks on different topics. You can use AI to get a gist of a certain topic based on your prompt. You'll then get a summary report on a topic in a Notion-styled document, which you can edit. Since the core application is a browser, you can open URLs and surf the web.

I think the browser is just going to evolve to become a true agentic browser,

Invites to Perplexity's new AI-powered web browser, Comet, are one of the web's hottest commodities these days. The new product was made available first to the AI firm's $200-per-month Max subscribers and a small group of invitees. But now there's a new way to jump ahead on the waitlist. On Wednesday, PayPal announced it's giving its customers, including PayPal and Venmo users, early access to Comet as well as a free year's subscription to Perplexity Pro, normally $200 per year.
