What’s Actually Been Happening at GoSmarter

Company announcements, product launches, and industry news from GoSmarter AI. When something worth telling you about happens — a new feature, a partnership, an event, an award — it shows up here.

We don’t post for the sake of posting. If there’s something in the news category, it’s because something real happened: a product shipped, a customer hit a milestone, an industry event took place, or a piece of external coverage is worth pointing you to.

News items tagged here include product updates, event coverage, industry recognition, and partnership announcements. GoSmarter is built by Nightingale HQ, a Welsh AI company — so you’ll also find news from both brands when they’re relevant to AI in metals manufacturing.

For the full company press record, see the GoSmarter Newsroom. For longer reads and practical guides, head to the GoSmarter blog. For press assets and media enquiries, visit the press page.
