GoSmarter Newsroom
Company news, press releases, and announcements from GoSmarter AI. Find out what we’ve been up to, who we’ve partnered with, and what’s coming next for our AI tools for metals manufacturers.
What you’ll find in the newsroom
We don’t issue press releases for the sake of it. When we post here, something has actually happened — a product launch, a customer milestone, an award, or an event worth telling you about.
Coverage includes product announcements, partnership news, team updates, and industry recognition. If you’re a journalist or researcher writing about AI in manufacturing, use the Press kit for company assets, founder bios, and approved imagery.
GoSmarter is built by Nightingale HQ, a Welsh AI company founded in 2018. Our newsroom covers both brands.
