Does ChatGPT use my existing logins when it browses?

It depends on where it browses. The ChatGPT Chrome extension works in your signed-in Chrome. The browser in the desktop app and the cloud browser keep their own sessions, so you sign in to sites there. Strawberry is the browser, so a companion starts with the tabs, logins and files you already have.

Is Strawberry built for coding?

Companions write code for pages and tools in chat. Codex is built for programmers working on full software projects.

Does Strawberry act without asking?

Only where you allow it. Approvals are set per app and action, and you can preview the exact message before anything sends.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan gives you 500 credits a month on Mac or Windows. Paid plans cost $20, $85 and $250 a month.
