Questions

ShadowEvo, explained

Everything a first-timer wants to know before diving in.

What is ShadowEvo?+
ShadowEvo is an AI workshop: one chat that thinks with five different "minds" and automatically picks the right one for every message — from instant answers to deep, multi-step reasoning. It's built for making things — file-aware chats, whole-project import, image generation, its own goal-directed agents, and (on the desktop app) guarded commands on your own machine.
What are the five minds?+
On Auto, ShadowEvo routes each message lightest to deepest: Reflex (instant answers), Sage (fast & clever), Shadow (the core mind for real work), ShadowEvo (deep reasoning), and ShadowMegaEvo (the maximum-effort apex). You can also pin a specific mind, and every reply is tagged with the one that answered.
Is it free?+
Yes. Every account gets 50,000 tokens a month (they refresh monthly) plus the three base minds — Reflex, Sage, and Shadow. Pro unlocks the two deepest minds (ShadowEvo & ShadowMegaEvo), image generation, agents on the web, and one-time credit top-ups. No card needed to sign up.
Web app or desktop app — what's the difference?+
The web app is zero-setup: sign in and go — we run the AI keys for you. The desktop app is for power users — bring your own API keys, work offline, and let ShadowEvo propose terminal commands and file edits that you approve one at a time. Your account, chats, and projects sync across both.
Can it generate images?+
Yes — Pro accounts get a 🎨 button that generates images with OpenAI's gpt-image-1, right inside the chat, alongside the text minds. Claude's reasoning for words, OpenAI's model for pictures — the best of both.
What are Evo Agents?+
Evo Agents are goal-directed co-workers. Give one a goal and it works step by step until it's done — and on desktop, every command or file change flows through an approval card you okay first. Pick a role (Architect, Engineer, Contractor, Manager, or Shadow Code) to set its working style.
Is my data private?+
Your chats, projects, and memories are tied to your account and synced privately (owner-only access). We never sell or trade your data, and your prompts go only to the AI provider that answers them. Full details in the Privacy Policy.
How much is Pro — and what's the Founder bonus?+
Pro is $19.99/mo or $199/yr (two months free). And the first 100 accounts are Founders — double token allowance for being early: 100k/month on free, or double Pro tokens for subscribers. Look for the 🏆 badge under Account.
What we do

One studio, three ways to build

We build our own products, build them for clients, and (soon) teach the process we perfected along the way.

Products

Software we wished existed, so we made it — like ShadowEvo, the AI workshop with five minds that can actually do the work.

How we work

Designed, not assembled

01

Understand the idea

We start with the concept and the person behind it — what makes it worth building and worth using.

02

Build it for real

AI-accelerated, hand-finished. Every screen is bespoke; nothing ships that we wouldn't use ourselves.

03

Launch and stand behind it

We verify what we deliver and prove it works — no hand-waving, no "trust me."
