Your firm's memory. Your firm's alone.
Shiny doesn't share your data, sell it, or train on it.
- Encrypted in transit and at rest
- AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. Everywhere it goes, everywhere it lives.
- No model training
- Your data is never used to train AI models. Not by us, not by our model providers.
- Nothing without approval
- Shiny never changes the record or sends anything on its own. You approve every change.
- Every action audit-logged
- Every tool call, every edit, every answer. A complete trail of what touched the record.
- AI on your own keys
- AI features run on your own API keys, under your own agreements.
- Full workspace export
- Your data is an asset of the firm, not a hostage of the vendor. Take all of it, any time.
We welcome your security review. hello@shinyunicorn.ai
Your firm's memory compounds.
Shiny remembers why you passed, who made the introduction, what an LP cared about, and what happened next. The longer you work with Shiny, the more useful that history becomes.
And all of it belongs to your firm.
Everything else can tell you what happened. Shiny remembers what it meant.
SHINY UNICORN See it run on your firm's stack.
Request a demoQuestions, answered.
Is this another CRM my team has to maintain?
No. Shiny keeps itself current from the work your firm already does: email, calendar, meeting notes, and documents. Partners get the context without anyone inheriting a data-entry job.
Do we have to run a migration project first?
No. Connect the tools you already use and Shiny starts working from the information your team already produces. Coming from Affinity, we bring your existing data over from an export.
Can we trust what it tells us?
Shiny answers from your firm's own record and shows where each fact came from, so anyone can check it. When something changes, the record changes with it.
Will it act without our sign-off?
No. Shiny prepares briefs, drafts, and follow-ups; nothing is sent to a founder, LP, or anyone else until you approve it.
We already use Claude. Why do we need Shiny?
Shiny is what makes Claude genuinely useful about your firm. Connect once and Claude answers with your firm's knowledge behind it, without anyone rebuilding context in a chat window.
Who controls what the team can see?
You do. Shiny respects the permissions of the information it learns from, so private emails and notes don't automatically become visible to the rest of the team.
