WHY THIS REPORT EXISTS

Behind the
interface.

A useful agent needs more than a good answer. It needs context, ways to act, and a clear account of what happened.

This report introduces Shift’s product and system design: a native Mac workspace connecting conversation, browser assistance, editable work, and desktop automation.

It describes the architecture and its limitations. It is a technical account of a developing system, not a claim that the beta is finished or independently benchmarked against every alternative.
