The studio

Few fronts. Forged well.

Smith Loyal is an AI-native engineering studio. We don't build everything. We pick a few hard problems in money, data, and risk, and solve them well. One product we sell, one system built in partnership, and one open-source engine. All forged in Go, with AI where it adds value and auditability where it matters.

Portfolio

Three fronts, one bench.

SL-01

ChargeShield

Product · Pre-launch
For the price of Netflix*, an AI that fights your chargebacks.

When a chargeback lands, ChargeShield writes the rebuttal with AI, gathers the order's evidence, and submits everything to Shopify Payments, without you lifting a finger.

From $19/mo

* Netflix Standard plan (US), $19.99/mo as of Oct 15, 2026.

SL-02

Olympus KPI

Partnership
Market intelligence, auditable end to end.

Built with Instituto Olympus. It tracks NASDAQ technology companies, computes weighted KPIs, and structures the data with AI: market positioning, valuation metrics, and narrative, all auditable from raw data to final score. For internal research, not investment advice.

SL-03

ColdVault

Open-source · Concept
Archive cold data, encrypted, cheap, and truly forgettable.

An open-source engine over cheap object storage (S3/R2) that archives logs and history encrypted and queryable, and enforces the right to be forgotten by destroying the key: the data turns to noise. One mechanism for LGPD, GDPR, and CCPA.

How we work

Four principles at the bench

01

Focus, not a catalog

Few fronts, each on a real and hard problem.

02

Forged in Go

Fast, lean backends built to last.

03

AI in the right place

AI writes analysis and narrative; it never decides what's critical on its own.

04

Security and audit

Encrypted and traceable, and never a promise of “unbreakable”.
