The one most like dassi
Of everything on our compare pages, Claude in Chrome is the product most like dassi, and it’s a good one. Both act inside your own browser, on accounts you’re already signed into, rather than in a cloud browser you have to log into from scratch. Anthropic took it to general availability on August 26, 2026, for Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise (not Free). It can act on its own with a safety check on each action, and it has scheduled recurring tasks and saved shortcuts. If the panel in your Chrome says “Claude Cowork,” that’s the same thing; Anthropic renamed it on August 12.
The gaps between them are small and specific.
Where they differ
Claude in Chrome runs in Chrome on desktop, and Anthropic’s own wording is that it “doesn’t run on other Chromium browsers or on mobile yet.” dassi runs in Chrome, Edge and Brave. For anyone whose company standardized on Edge, that’s the decision made.
Claude in Chrome runs Claude, which I suspect suits most people reading this fine. dassi runs Claude too, on your own Anthropic key, or GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Kimi, something on OpenRouter, or a local model through Ollama, and I value that less for the variety than for having a fallback the week your usual provider is slow or down.
Money is the bigger gap. A Claude plan starts at $20 a month for Pro ($17 billed annually), Max starts at $100, and whatever Claude in Chrome does comes out of that plan’s usage limits; people who leave it mention burning through those limits, and slowness. dassi costs $10 a month on your own API key, with tokens billed by your provider, or $25 to $300 on a plan with included credits. You can also try it on free credits for 7 days with no card, which the Claude Free plan doesn’t offer for Claude in Chrome.
Logging in to websites
Close to a tie. Both work on the sessions already in your browser, which is the whole reason to want an assistant in the browser at all. Claude in Chrome can sign in through 1Password. dassi signs in with whatever your browser’s password manager autofills when a site has logged you out, and you finish 2FA yourself; the password stays in the password manager, and you never paste it into a chat or into dassi’s settings.
When to choose Claude in Chrome
If you already pay for Claude Pro or Max and only ever use Chrome, use Claude in Chrome. You’ve paid for it, the people who make the model built it, and dassi would mostly be selling you model choice you might not need. The 1Password sign-in is a nice touch for anyone who keeps everything in 1Password. Scheduling isn’t a reason to switch either: dassi’s scheduled runs need your browser open when they’re due, while Claude’s scheduled tasks run in Anthropic’s cloud without your computer.
When to choose dassi
The team I’d point at dassi without hesitating is a small agency with half its people in Edge because IT said so, a designer who won’t give up Brave, and nobody keen on adding Claude Team seats at $25 each for browser chores. Everyone keeps their browser. Each person brings a key or picks a plan with credits, and a job like pulling weekly numbers from a client’s ad dashboard into a Google Sheet gets taught once, saved as a workflow, and rerun on demand or on a schedule. dassi pauses before actions you’ve flagged and asks when it hits something only you can decide.
Anthropic did say “yet” about other browsers. If Edge support lands, I’ll come back and rewrite the browser section, probably with less to say in it.
