Does it send emails or messages on its own?

No — the site states that nothing is sent until you confirm. Drafts are inserted for you to review, insert, rewrite, or copy.

How does the 'write anywhere' feature work?

Hold the right Option (⌥) key in any app and Shogun continues your sentence at the caret in your voice, using the surrounding thread, doc, and people involved. Let go to keep the text, or keep typing to skip it.

What is visual recall?

Shogun keeps a private visual history of your screen so you can search what you saw in plain words, or drag back through your day to the exact moment something appeared.

ShogunAI — Your personal AGI on your PC

ShogunAI is a Mac desktop AI assistant that builds a private memory of your work — mail, meetings, docs, chats, and even a visual history of your screen — and uses it to answer questions with sources, draft replies in your voice, take meeting notes with recaps and action items, and surface your schedule and priorities each morning. It's accessed via a notch-adjacent interface and a right-Option key shortcut that works in any app.

Key Features

Ask with cited answers

Type or talk to the notch and Shogun answers from your own mail, meetings and notes, showing where every answer came from.

Write anywhere with the right Option key

Hold the right ⌥ key in any app and Shogun continues your sentence in your voice, using the thread, doc, and people involved — let go to keep the text, keep typing to skip it.

Meeting notes and recaps

Shogun takes notes while you talk, then writes the recap with decisions and next steps the moment the call ends, and can share it to channels like #launch.

Visual recall

A private screen-history feature that lets you search what you saw in plain words or drag back through your day to an exact moment.

Drafted email replies and follow-ups

Drafts replies in your voice directly in apps like Gmail; nothing is sent until you confirm.

Every morning, see what changed, what needs your attention, and drafts Shogun already prepared.

Memory and visual history are kept locally on your PC

Mac users comfortable with an assistant that observes their screen and communications locally
