Strawberryforfounders

Think of Strawberry as your new chief of staff. It is capable and eager from day one, but like any sharp new hire it needs your context before it can be useful. Give it that context once and it takes the operational drag off your plate: first drafts, monitoring, follow-through. You keep the parts only you can do, which are vision, judgment, and relationships.

The more context you give it, the better it gets. A founder wears every hat, so your companion should too. Point it at your sales, talent, and product work and it picks up those skills alongside the rest.

Setup is quick. Import your previous browser so your logins, tabs, and history come with you and it works in your real session. Bring your ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini memories so it already knows how you think. Connect the apps you live in: Slack, Gmail or Outlook, Calendar, Drive or Notion, and your CRM. Then talk to it by typing or voice, the same way you would brief a new hire.

Five concrete use cases

Prep and run my day

Tell it what a good morning looks like and which calendar, inbox, and Slack channels matter. It then triages all three into one prioritized brief. The valuable part is deciding what actually needs you, not summarizing everything. Save it as a skill, then a 9am routine, so the brief is waiting before you sit down.

Triage my inbox and draft replies

Let it interview you on your tone, and tell it which senders and topics are always urgent versus noise. It labels by urgency, sender, and action needed, archives the noise, and drafts replies in your voice for the ones that need you. Nothing sends without your ok. Save it as a routine that triages on a schedule, so you review a short list instead of a full inbox.

Run my meetings end to end

Tell it your meeting types and where notes should live: candidates, 1-on-1s, investors, customers. It builds a prep brief beforehand, transcribes live with no bot joining the call, then debriefs into decisions and action items and files the notes in the right folder. Save it as a skill so every meeting follows the same prep, transcribe, file, and follow-up loop.

Draft my investor and board updates

Tell it which metrics matter and where the numbers and milestones live, across dashboards, Drive, and Slack. Keep it to the operating picture. It pulls the metrics with period-over-period deltas, gathers the month's wins, and drafts the update in your voice with sources you can fact-check, then waits for your approval before it sends. Save it as a monthly routine so the draft lands a few days before it is due.

Watch competitors and run market deep dives

Name your competitors and the signals you care about: pricing, changelogs, launches, senior hires, funding, reviews. It works across competitor sites, news, and job posts and synthesizes one brief. For bigger questions it runs the market deep dive you never had time for and returns it as a dashboard. Save it as a weekly routine that drops the brief in Slack, so you stop checking manually.

More ideas

Strawberry can also take on the work you never had time for. Start with one recurring task, prove it works, then expand.

• Model a big decision. Lay out the options, second-order effects, and a recommendation before you commit.
• Mine your own usage. Surface patterns and surprises in your product telemetry you would never have spotted.
• Run a weekly self-review. A one-page scorecard of your KPIs with recommended next actions.
• Prep a data room. Pull together diligence answers when you need to move fast.

Use Strawberry with your team

Most of this gets better when your whole team is on Strawberry. Share your companion, context, and skills so they start from your setup instead of scratch, and meeting notes, research, and decisions stay useful to everyone. See the Strawberry for teams page for full setup.
