Every other AI helps you work.
Shannon helps you live

Two things, in parallel. First, Shannon helps you make space for what you actually want more of: the relationship with your son, the hobby you keep meaning to restart, the project you can't quite finish. You name it, Shannon helps turn it into something concrete (a weekly walk, a standing Saturday morning), put it on the calendar, and follow through with you. Second, Shannon clears your plate. It connects to the things you already use - email, calendar, WhatsApp, files - and looks after the small admin of your life. It's not a chatbot you talk to and forget. It's a steady, capable companion that gets to know your life and helps you stay on top of it without thinking about it.

For life. But it won't ignore your work. Shannon can handle work tasks - emails, research, scheduling - the same way any good AI can. But that's not what makes it different. Shannon is built for the parts of life that every other AI overlooks: your family, your health, your money, your home, the things you keep meaning to get to. Work is something Shannon can do. Life is what Shannon is for.

Currently: Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, and WhatsApp. More integrations are coming. You choose which services to connect, and you can disconnect any of them at any time.

No. Shannon is useful the moment you start talking to it. But when you do connect your email, that's when things get interesting. Shannon starts catching things on its own. Bills coming due. People waiting on you. Deadlines you didn't put in your calendar. The stuff that usually falls through the cracks.

Not at first, and never without your say-so. Early on, Shannon mostly listens, suggests, and waits. You confirm everything. Over time, as it learns the kinds of things you'd happily hand over, it'll take on more of the small stuff - but only the kinds of tasks you've already given it permission for. You can pull back access at any moment. The rule is simple: Shannon tells you what it's about to do, before it does it.

This is the thing we care about most. We don't sell your data. We don't show you ads. Your emails stay your emails. Every company that touches your data has signed a data processing agreement, everything is encrypted, and each user's data is completely separate. We wrote a Privacy Policy that's actually readable if you want the full picture.

Nobody is browsing your inbox. The Shannon team does not have routine access to your data. If you contact support and we need to look at something to help you, that access is documented and limited. That's it.

No. Your personal content - emails, messages, conversations - is not used to train the underlying AI models that power Shannon. We use commercial AI APIs whose terms/settings do not allow your data to be used for model training. We do use de-identified/aggregated usage patterns and feedback to improve Shannon (e.g., onboarding, what makes a good Daybreak, and common failure modes). This is product improvement, not AI model training. We never sell your personal content, and we only share data with service providers as needed to operate Shannon.

No. If you can text a friend, you can use Shannon. There are no workflows to build, no automations to wire up, no settings panels to learn. You just tell Shannon what you'd like - in normal words, the way you'd ask anyone - and it gets on with it.

Those are brilliant at one-off questions. You ask, they answer, the conversation ends. Shannon is built for the long arc - to know your people, your patterns, your week, the things you care about. It doesn't start cold every morning. Day 30 is meant to be better than day one.

Shannon is AI. It can be wrong. It might miss something, misread a deadline, or suggest something that doesn't quite fit. Always review anything important before acting on it.

Say so. "Stop doing that" works. Shannon adjusts immediately and remembers your preference. You're in control of how it works with you.

Two ways. The fastest is the Flag icon on any message: click it, a window opens, type what went wrong, and there's a checkbox to include the conversation log so the team can see exactly what happened. Click submit and it's logged. In the same window, you can also let us know if Shannon said or did something that pleasantly surprised you in the best possible way. You can also just type it in the chat: "this is a bug, write an email to the Shannon team about it." Shannon drafts the message and sends it after you approve.

A small team at Cluesmith, building carefully. The product is named for Claude Shannon, the mathematician who worked out how information moves - which felt about right. If something breaks, you can talk to a real person.

We'll share pricing closer to general release. Early access is free while we get it right. The intent is for Shannon to feel like a fair monthly subscription - closer to what you'd pay for a good streaming service than what an executive assistant costs. Genuinely useful, genuinely affordable, no ads.

We're letting people in slowly, in small batches. Join the list and we'll get in touch when it's your turn - usually within a few weeks. No rush. We'd rather take our time and get it right than rush something that's going to live this close to your life.
