Buyer questions
Questions buyers actually ask
Why call it a personal general intelligence?
Because the missing piece was never model quality. A frontier model is already general — it is just not general about you. ShogunAI adds the two things that make any model yours: a memory of your actual work, and the ability to act on it.
What is captured, and what is stored?
Text, where it came from, and when — and, with visual recall on, screenshots of the windows text capture cannot read. ShogunAI reads the accessibility layer macOS exposes to screen readers first; a compressed screenshot is taken only where that yields nothing. Screenshots stay encrypted on your Mac for a retention period you choose — presets from one to seven days, or a bounded custom duration — and are deleted automatically at that age.
Does anything leave my Mac?
Only the specific slice a request needs — the thread you asked to summarize, the context for a draft — never your raw memory. Each one is written to a traceability log with its purpose, and marked when it passes through a third party.
Do I need an API key?
No. ShogunAI can run on the assistant plan you already pay for, inside that plan’s limits. Bringing your own API key is the alternative, not the requirement.
How is this different from a meeting recorder or a notes app?
A recorder captures one meeting. A notes app stores what you were disciplined enough to write down. ShogunAI holds the whole working day without you maintaining it — and then does something with it.
Does ShogunAI work on macOS only?
Yes. It is built on native macOS capabilities — the accessibility layer, the notch panel, the system keychain — and runs on Apple Silicon. A version for another platform would be a different product, not a port.

The expert review
ShogunAI earns a 79/100 for its refined local-first AI positioning and notable messaging clarity. However, its growth is currently capped by significant index fragmentation and unlocalized international metadata.
