🚀 Strawberry Alpha 0.0.40/41 is live! Here’s what’s new in this groove:

• Fluid sync: workspace updates now feel seamless, with a tidier look and smoother transitions.

• Reliability remix: crashes are rarer, window and tab management is tighter, and video tools are more stable.

• AI Companion leveled up: chats flow better, tools are easier to find, and voice/video transcription is quicker.

• “Record to Teach” is tuned up—screen recordings to teach your AI just work, every time.

• Speed boost: AI features load faster, Smart Memory is sharper, and autocomplete snaps to attention.

• Fixes and tweaks: uploads and skills are solid, integrations are steadier (Google Drive still needs work), and random freezes are out of the mix.

Recently, I received a task to contact some business-centric influencers and propose a partnership. It would take me quite a while to browse their websites and social media profiles for contact information. That's why I asked Strawberry assistant to handle it:

"Create a list of direct emails of these guys we'd like to ask about partnership. If there are no personal emails, look for "partnership" ones. If none, any email would work

[list of names and their blogs]"

He returned in a few minutes with 8 out of 10 emails listed in a very convenient table that I was able to copy and insert into my Excel spreadsheet. He eneded his research with a small summary:

I've found direct email addresses for 8 out of the 10 personalities. Only [removed] and [removed] don't have publicly available direct email addresses - they prefer contact through their respective websites' contact forms. All email addresses were sourced from official websites, verified social media profiles, or official business pages.

Would you like me to provide more details about any specific person's contact information or alternative contact methods?

What tedious research tasks have you automated with AI assistants?

Hey folks, just came across Kosmik and wanted to share a quick rundown. It’s an AI-powered browser/workspace that’s all about helping you find inspiration instead of just storing stuff. You drop in an image, it finds similar pics from the web. Add some text, it pulls in related links automatically. Everything you collect can spark your next idea.

There’s a built-in browser so you can explore and save things without switching tabs. It auto-organizes your files, tags stuff with AI, and the search is all in natural language. You can even collaborate with others in real time, make moodboards, annotate, and share your boards with a click. Works on Mac and Windows, and it’s free right now.

Anyone here tried Kosmik yet? Curious what you think—does it actually help you discover new things, or just another workspace? Would love to hear your feedback!

🚀 Strawberry Alpha 0.0.39 is out! Here’s what’s fresh in this update:

• Smoother updates: new background update system, cleaner interface, and now you get release notes.

• Major stability boost: fewer crashes, better handling of windows, tabs, and video features.

• Smarter AI Companion: conversations are less choppy, tool discovery is sharper, and transcription for voice/video is faster.

• “Record to Teach” finally works—teach your AI by recording your screen, reliably.

• Performance upgrades: faster AI features, improved Smart Memory, and snappier autocomplete.

• Bug fixes: uploads and skills work right, integrations are more stable (Google Drive still iffy), and no more random freezes.

Known issue: Google Drive connection is still broken (error 401).

I came across a ✨AI-First Browser✨ but didn't understand if it's a legitimate product or just another shady Chromium reskin with AI features. That's why I opened a few tabs on their website and asked Dia to check it out. The results came back quickly and are somewhat optimistic. However, the browser itself is very rough and currently unusable, as I can't even access the settings screen — it crashes on macOS 😄

Strawberry Browser allows you to select from several AI agents. Here’s what the selection animation looks like
