AI incubation & software studio mastering fun projects · At the heart of the Silicon Valley and serving the world
Shed Innovations has two sides. By day we're an AI studio, building software that helps real businesses work smarter and faster. As far as cloud technologies are concerned, we're AWS-, Azure- and SAP-certified. The rest of the time, we make things just for fun — out on the water, across the sand, or a daily laugh delivered by AI. Pick the side you came for.
What we do
We embed with a customer and build the smart-AI software or experience they actually need — from document pipelines and code optimization to AI-native entertainment — then run it end to end. Tired of burning AI tokens for limited software-improvement gains? We're here to help. Show our projectsHide projects
Have a problem that looks like "a human reads this and decides that, all day long"? That's our shape. We design, build and operate the AI system around it — ingestion, models, review tooling and the customer-facing app — on your stack or ours. And we help you protect what you build: we prepare detailed patent applications for your IP.
Contact us to discuss your project →Our own development platform. We put the best AI coding engines into direct competition on your project, keep what wins, and stay in control of both the design quality and the operational cost of the software we ship — so you get the strongest result at the lowest run-rate.
An agentic platform that makes existing code faster and cheaper — across build flags, loops, memory layout, libraries and algorithms — and proves every speedup is still numerically correct before it ships. Real bench result: a 9× C++ win, verified clean.
What it optimizes → Open pareto.lohier.com →An AI operation for aircraft airworthiness compliance. It ingests airline maintenance records — PDFs, scans, even handwriting — reads and classifies them, cross-references engine serials against FAA/EASA airworthiness directives, flags the gaps, and auto-generates the certification reports, all through a customer portal.
How it works → Open opal.lohier.com →Our own AI humor platform, built end to end: AIC (Assisted Intelligent Comedy) learns what makes your person laugh and delivers daily jokes, cartoons and voice messages written for them alone — reviewed before they are sent. Around it, four free photo toys (Meme It, Dance, Time Capsule, Stand-up with live coaching) and The Great Joke Vault Escape, a comedy escape room that AIC hosts inside your own video call.
