Macroshaft
Empowering Every Person
- Known for
- Putting an AI assistant button on the keyboard and its price on the invoice. Updates that restart your computer mid-presentation. A professional network where everyone is 'humbled and thrilled to announce'. A large stake in OpenHeart AI that is definitely not a takeover. The 'Sovereign Stack' white paper.
- Character
- Corporate, inevitable and patient as a licence renewal. Wins by bundling, not by being loved. Calls every acquisition 'a partnership', every forced update 'an opportunity to restart', and every price rise 'added value'.
- Sector
- Enterprise Software & AI Infrastructure
