“Using AI every day, two things kept bothering me: 1. It doesn't know me. 2. I get an answer, but I still do the work. I wanted one thing that closes both gaps, so we built ShogunAI.”
Problem Solved
What problem does ShogunAI solve?
Built for knowledge workers, founders, and consultants who juggle context across email, chat, meetings, and documents throughout the week. Today, professionals waste hours reconstructing forgotten context, re-explaining background information to generic AI tools, and manually drafting recaps. ShogunAI captures mail, meetings, and screen activity in a private local memory on your Mac to answer questions and complete actions directly inside any app. For example, when a colleague asks for a launch status update in Gmail, Shogun immediately drafts the reply using notes from your recent sync and calendar without you having to look them up.
