Strawberry Launches First Full Product as European AI Agent Alternative

Strawberry, a startup backed by General Catalyst, has launched its first full product. The company is pitching it as "the European alternative" to AI agents built by US firms.

The release, which carries a 1.0 version label for the Strawberry browser, marks the company's move from early development to a complete offering available to users.

Why it matters

The positioning is the most notable part of the launch. Most widely used AI agents come from American companies, and Strawberry is explicitly aiming to give users and businesses in Europe a homegrown option instead.

The backing of General Catalyst, a major US venture investor, signals that investors see room for a European player in a market dominated by US names.

What we don't know yet

The company has not made detailed information on pricing, supported platforms, user numbers or funding amounts available in the material we reviewed. How Strawberry's product compares in capability with established US agents remains to be tested by users.
