New from GreatShift · In internal testing

Verdia — your daily health companion.

Verdia brings together product scanning, medicine-price finding, habit tracking, and an AI coach in one simple daily companion. It is currently in internal testing, and joining the waitlist is free.

Services

From AI ambition to working capability.

Six capabilities covering the full journey — from deciding where AI fits to building, connecting, and scaling it. Pair any of them with the delivery model that suits your team.

Portfolio

Work we're proud of

Everything below is something we built ourselves. No mockups, no borrowed screenshots, no client work we're not allowed to talk about. What you see is what exists.

01

Verdia

What it is: Verdia, our daily health companion app.

What it does: Right now it handles simple daily habit tracking for activity, sleep, and water, and an AI coach chats with you about your day and your health. Coming next: a product barcode scanner with clean-product scores and healthier alternatives, plus a medicine price finder that surfaces cheaper generics and refill reminders.

Tech: A native mobile app in development, with a live marketing and waitlist site and a Formspree-powered waitlist signup.

Status: In internal testing right now. Free at launch, no paywall planned until after traction.

02

Ask Shift

What it is: The AI chatbot that lives on greatshiftai.com.

What it does: It answers real questions about GreatShift, what we do, and about Verdia. It is wired to an actual AI backend, so it responds in its own words instead of picking from a script of canned replies.

Tech: A site chat widget backed by a serverless API endpoint connected to an AI model.

Status: Live on greatshiftai.com today. Try it in the corner of any page.

03

Daily AI/tech article engine

What it is: An automated publishing pipeline that puts out a full AI and tech article every morning.

What it does: Each morning it searches the web for the latest AI and tech news, writes a complete article, and publishes it live with no human review step. The main site reads the article feed by RSS and lists the newest pieces first, with dates and pagination.

Tech: A scheduled automation job that commits article Markdown to a Git repository and triggers a rebuild of a static Astro site hosted on Cloudflare Pages; the main site consumes the RSS feed.

Status: Live and publishing daily at articles.greatshiftai.com.

04

GreatShiftAI.com

What it is: The GreatShift consultancy website.

What it does: It explains who we are, what we offer, and how we work. It carries our Articles section, our product spotlights for Verdia, the Ask Shift chatbot, and a working contact form that routes inquiries to our team.

Tech: A hand-built static site on Cloudflare Pages, with a serverless function behind the Ask Shift chatbot and a Formspree-powered contact form.

Status: Live at greatshiftai.com, and we iterate on it constantly.

Google Gave Its Strongest AI to Cyber Defenders Before Anyone Else — and That's the New Frontier Playbook

Gemini 4 Argon's launch skipped the usual public demo and went straight to trusted cyber defenders through the Fairwind Program — without cyber guardrails. Why Google flipped the release order, what a 1-million-token output limit means for enterprise work, and why defenders-first may be how every frontier model ships from here on.

About GreatShift

Practical AI work, built around outcomes.

GreatShift LLC is an AI consulting and delivery company that helps organizations turn promising ideas into useful, dependable systems.

Company

GreatShift LLC works with business and technology leaders across AI advisory, onshore consulting, offshore delivery, and implementation. Engagements are structured around the decisions, systems, and operating changes required to move from exploration to production.

The company supports focused discovery work as well as sustained delivery. That includes identifying high-value use cases, shaping architecture and governance, extending engineering capacity, integrating data and applications, and preparing teams to operate what they build.

Our mission

Our mission is to make advanced technology useful in the everyday work of an organization. We believe AI earns trust when it improves a real decision or workflow, operates within clear boundaries, and leaves the client with stronger internal capability.

Our team

GreatShift brings together consulting, product, architecture, engineering, data, cloud, and delivery disciplines. Teams are assembled around the engagement rather than a fixed staffing template, with experienced leadership close to high-context decisions and delivery capacity placed where it creates the best leverage.

Every engagement has named ownership, a visible working rhythm, and direct communication with the people responsible for outcomes. This structure keeps strategy connected to implementation and makes trade-offs explicit.

How we work

  • Start with the operating problem. Technology choices follow the outcome, constraints, and people involved.
  • Deliver evidence early. Small releases and working demonstrations replace long periods of hidden progress.
  • Design for responsible use. Security, evaluation, human review, and operational ownership are part of delivery.
  • Transfer capability. Documentation, shared decisions, and knowledge transfer help client teams own the result.

Values

Innovation, transparency, collaboration, and a commitment to delivering cutting-edge yet practical solutions.

Privacy Policy

How information is handled.

This policy explains what GreatShift may collect through this website, how that information may be used, how advertising technologies work, and the choices available to visitors.

Effective September 25, 2026

Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the GreatShift website and the information handled through it. It does not apply to third-party websites or services that may be linked from an article or another page.

Information we collect

The project inquiry tool asks for a name, company, work email, area of interest, and project context. On this website, that tool prepares a brief in your browser for you to copy or download; it does not transmit the brief to GreatShift. If you later send that brief through a separate communication channel, the information in it will be used to respond to your request and manage the resulting business relationship.

Like most websites, hosting, security, analytics, or advertising providers may receive limited technical information when their services are active. That information can include an IP address, browser and device type, approximate location derived from an IP address, pages viewed, referring pages, and timestamps. GreatShift does not ask visitors to submit sensitive personal information through this website.

Cookies, advertising, and Google AdSense

Cookies are small files or similar identifiers used to remember settings, measure activity, secure a service, or personalize content and advertising. GreatShift may use necessary cookies for site operation and, when enabled, analytics or advertising cookies.

If Google AdSense or another Google advertising service is enabled on this website, Google and its partners may use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers, or similar technologies to serve, measure, and personalize ads based on a visitor’s activity on this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies can allow it and its partners to serve ads based on prior visits. Depending on location and consent choices, ads may be personalized or non-personalized.

Visitors can control cookies through browser settings and can manage personalized advertising through Google’s advertising settings. Blocking some technologies may affect how parts of the site or advertising work. Where law requires consent before non-essential cookies are used, an appropriate consent choice should be presented when those services are active.

How information is used and shared

Information may be used to operate and secure the website, understand site performance, respond to inquiries, improve services and editorial content, comply with law, and prevent fraud or misuse. Information may be handled by vendors that provide hosting, security, analytics, communications, or advertising services under their own terms and privacy practices.

GreatShift does not sell personal information for money. Advertising and analytics can involve disclosures that certain privacy laws define as “sharing” or targeted advertising, and eligible visitors may have the right to opt out of those uses. Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a business transaction with appropriate safeguards.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to personal information, correction, deletion, a portable copy, restriction or objection to certain processing, or an appeal of a privacy decision. You may also withdraw consent where processing relies on consent and opt out of personalized or targeted advertising where applicable.

To make a request, use the Contact page and choose “Website, privacy, or legal question.” GreatShift may need enough information to verify the request and will respond within the period required by applicable law. Authorized agents may be asked to provide proof of authority.

Retention, security, and children

Information is kept only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described here, including legal, accounting, security, and dispute-resolution needs. Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no online system can guarantee absolute security.

This website is intended for a general business audience and is not directed to children under 13. GreatShift does not knowingly collect personal information from children through this website.

Changes and contact

This policy may be updated as the website, services, advertising practices, or legal requirements change. The effective date above identifies the current version. Questions or requests can be directed to GreatShift LLC through the Contact page.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, GreatShift LLC and its personnel will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunities arising from use of the website. Where liability cannot be excluded, it will be limited to the amount paid, if any, specifically for use of the website.

Indemnity and governing principles

You agree to be responsible for claims and costs resulting from your unlawful use of the website or material violation of these terms. Any waiver or limitation in these terms applies only to the extent allowed by applicable law. If one provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Straight answers about working with GreatShift — what we do, how engagements run, how your data is handled, and how to start.

What does GreatShift do, in simple terms?

We help teams adopt AI safely and practically—Power Platform automation, custom AI/agents, chat & voice assistants, data integrations, training, and fully custom builds (including Java/Spring) when you need deeper engineering.

Can you build in Java/Spring, or only low-code?

Both. Low-code is great for speed, but we frequently build in Java/Spring (and other frameworks) when performance, integration depth, or flexibility calls for it. We’ll recommend the right approach for your goals and budget.

How do we get started?

Start with a short discovery call. We’ll clarify your outcome, data sources, users, and integrations. Then we share a lightweight plan (scope, timeline, estimate). If it fits, we kick off the build.

Typical timelines?

Small assistants/automation: 1–3 weeks. Medium apps/agents: 3–8 weeks. Enterprise integrations or multi-team rollouts can take longer. We share a clear milestone plan up front.

How do you price projects?

Fixed-scope (for well-defined work) or time-and-materials (for evolving goals). We aim for transparent, predictable pricing with no surprises. You’ll get a written scope and estimate before we start.

What models do you support?

We’re model-agnostic. We integrate leading LLMs (e.g., Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, open-source options) via providers like OpenRouter. We choose based on task, safety, cost, latency, and your data/compliance needs.

Is my data safe? Do you train on it?

We don’t use your data to train public models. We follow least-privilege access, secure storage, and environment isolation. For regulated data, we can keep everything in your cloud boundary and log access for audits.

Can you connect to our systems?

Yes—CRMs, ERPs, data warehouses, SharePoint, custom APIs, and more. We build safe connectors and apply guardrails so AI actions stay traceable and within policy.

Do you provide training and hand-off?

Absolutely. We include short enablement sessions, admin docs, and “care-and-feeding” guidance. We can also stay on for enhancements and support if you want a longer partnership.

Where are you located?

Austin, Texas — 5900 Balcones Drive STE 100, Austin, TX 78731. Remote-friendly; we work with clients across time zones.

What makes GreatShift different?

Clear scoping, human-centered design, and pragmatic delivery. We keep things small, focused, and fast— you get real outcomes quickly, then we scale with your needs.

How can I contact you?

Email info@greatshiftai.com or use the contact form. Tell us your goal and timeline—we’ll reply quickly.
