Research, Engineering and Open Work

THE SHRIKS

We build our own AI products and software systems, take on selected engineering work with others, and develop original media IP.

01  What THE SHRIKS is

Our own products, engineering projects and open work.

THE SHRIKS is an independent technology venture. It develops two products of its own, SylvieSI and LokiAI, and takes on selected engineering work with clients and collaborators.

ENMAS is an original media property by THE SHRIKS.

One venture. Several owned directions. Engineering connects them.

Five directions.One mark.

  1. 01 / 05

    Owned products

    SylvieSI, which is in pilot, and LokiAI v1.2, which is open source and in development.

  2. 02 / 05

    Engineering collaborations

    Software and systems work with other organisations, including Nayki, SAAR and Wall Street.

  3. 03 / 05

    Software & infrastructure

    Application, cloud and platform engineering underneath both.

  4. 04 / 05

    Research & open work

    OpenDeck publishes tools, materials and prompts. Journal publishes papers, lab notes and venture documents.

  5. 05 / 05

    Original media IP

    ENMAS, an original media property by THE SHRIKS, separate from the engineering work.

Each direction is a slice of the same mark. Pulled apart, they stay one venture.

02  Operating territories

Where the work happens.

Six territories, from systems to stories, built for ourselves and with others. Scroll to travel between them, or choose a site.

Applied AI & owned products

AI and machine-learning systems, and the products THE SHRIKS builds for itself. SylvieSI investigates and fixes software failures. LokiAI lets coding agents work with microcontroller hardware.

03  Owned products

Software investigations.
Connected hardware.

SylvieSI investigates software failures and prepares fixes for review. LokiAI connects coding agents to hardware. Both are developed by THE SHRIKS.

SylvieSI

SylvieSI connects user reports, monitoring and product usage to investigate software failures. It reproduces bugs, traces the cause and prepares a draft fix with checks for an engineer to review.

Drag the vessel to rotate.

LokiAI is an open-source desktop app and local runtime for connected hardware. Coding agents use scoped MCP tools to inspect logs, build firmware, flash a device and test the result. Device-changing actions require your approval and leave an activity trail.

07  Working with THE SHRIKS

Our approach to the work.

  1. 01 / Products

    Product development

    SylvieSI and LokiAI are developed as owned products, each with its own scope, documentation and release status.

  2. 02 / Engagements

    Engineering collaboration

    Client and partner work is scoped individually around the problem, technical requirements and deliverables.

  3. 03 / Publications

    Technical documentation

    Research, implementation notes and reusable tools are published through Journal and OpenDeck, with links to their sources.

  4. 04 / Original IP

    Independent creative work

    ENMAS is developed as an original media property, separate from the software products and engineering engagements.
