I’ll be the first to admit it — my company is, in many ways, a wrapper. But here’s the thing: I didn’t build it to chase hype. I built it because I’ve been in those endless pre-production loops as a creative — spending days (and budgets) working with storyboard artists just to get a rough visual sense of a script. It was slow, expensive, and inaccessible to a lot of people with great ideas.

So I built Shai with one focus: help filmmakers and creatives go from script to visual faster — while keeping things consistent and usable in real workflows. Not just cool prompts. Not just AI for AI’s sake.

And despite all the new flashy tools dropping every week, Shai keeps growing. Tens of thousands of users now. People use it because it solves a real need — not because it’s the most advanced tech on the block.

Sometimes I feel like I’m just quietly building while the hype cycles spin around me. But honestly? I’m okay with that. Let the hype run its course. I’ll keep solving real problems.
