How Shiva works · 5 explainers

See how a reply is made, checked and proved.

Five short stories you scroll or tap through, each with a working stage beside the text. About five minutes each.

In development Shiva has no customers yet, so these pages show how it works, never results.

  3. 03 · 7 scenes · about 5 minYour voice, not a robot’sA style card built from 3 to 10 of the owner’s own past replies. See a generic reply and a reply in the owner’s voice side by side, and how Shiva measures the difference.Hands on: Pick which past replies teach the voice, compare the before and after, and add a word the owner never wants to see.Open explainer 03
  4. 04 · 8 scenes · about 6 minApprove with a tap, prove it foreverThe owner approves in the app (approving in Telegram is coming). Every step leaves a signed receipt that holds the fingerprint of the one before. Change one old receipt and the chain breaks where you touched it.Hands on: Approve a draft, then tamper with a receipt and run the verifier yourself. The fingerprints and signatures are real, made in your browser.Open explainer 04

How these pages are made

  • You work it with your hands

    Each explainer has one stage beside the text. Switch the guest’s language, change a price, tamper with a receipt, and watch what happens.

  • The checks are the real ones

    The fact check, the rule check, the script check, the voice score and the receipt chain on these pages are Shiva’s own code, running in your browser.

  • Examples say so

    The homestay, its owner, the guests and the replies are fictional and written by hand. Each stage carries a “Fictional example” tag. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

  • Calm when you want it

    With reduced motion switched on in your phone or computer, nothing moves and every step still works.

Fictional example The Hindi and Hinglish examples have not yet been reviewed by a native speaker.
