Indexbrain vs Strawberry Browser
Same idea, without asking your team to change browsers
Strawberry and Indexbrain are after the same thing: an AI that has real context and can act on it, with companions, routines and skills as the vocabulary. The difference is where it lives. Strawberry is a browser you install and work inside. Indexbrain is a layer underneath the tools your team already opens.
What Strawberry is
A desktop browser for macOS and Windows with AI agents built in. Because it is the browser, it can see whatever you are looking at and act on any website, including ones behind a login that have no API at all. That is a real advantage and it is not one we have.
What Indexbrain is
A knowledge and permission layer that connects to 30 apps through their APIs and delivers what it learns into Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex and Slack over MCP and REST. Nothing to install, and nobody has to switch browsers for it to be useful.

When Strawberry is the better answer
- Most of your work is on websites with no API: portals, internal tools, suppliers, anything behind a login that was never meant to be automated. A browser can reach those. An API layer cannot.
- You want the AI to see exactly what is on your screen, in context, without connecting anything first.
- Your team is happy to adopt a new browser, and you would rather have one tool that does everything than a layer under the tools you already have.
