ShintTools AI — runs on your CPU

The ShintTools architecture

Designed to run entirely on the CPU already inside your workstation — a flat, self-hosted cost instead of per-token metering on a cloud API.

How the pieces fit together

Hover or tap a block to see what it does

Your machine / studio network

Cloud (metadata only)

ShintTools

  • Inference hardware — your existing CPU
  • Pricing — flat license, self-hosted
  • Data path — stays on your machine/network
  • Extra infrastructure — none

Typical cloud-AI coding assistant

  • Inference hardware — GPU cluster (their cost, passed to you)
  • Pricing — per-seat + usage/token metering
  • Data path — sent to a third-party API
  • Extra infrastructure — often invisible, but you pay for theirs

"explain this finding" reply, CPU alone

No specialized hardware, no cloud round-trip, no queueing behind other tenants' requests — a single request finishes on the machine it started on.

A deliberate choice, not a limitation →

Bottom line: no GPU workstations to provision, no growing monthly AI API bill — runs on the machines your team already has, at a flat cost that doesn't move with usage.

Studio tier optionally supports a larger model on GPU/high-RAM hardware — not required to use the product

Pricing

Built for game studios of every size

Zero-friction install. One flat price per studio, with an active-device band per plan. Annual billing saves 17%. Unreal Engine + Unity.

What developers say

Feedback from teams already running it

Honestly didn't expect much at first but this plugin is really good. Code validator picks up stuff I'd normally miss, and the auto-fix actually works which is rare. Love that everything stays local, no cloud nonsense, your code stays on your machine. Asset naming checks are super handy for keeping things organized especially on bigger projects. The AI assistant built in is a nice touch too, saves me from alt-tabbing to look stuff up. Setup was easy, no headaches. If you're working in UE5 and want something that just helps you ship cleaner work, grab it.
Unreal developer · UE5
I tested ShintTools directly on my modular pieces and hard surface props. The Asset Naming Bot is a massive time saver for keeping the content browser clean. It handled bulk renaming seamlessly, and the auto CoreRedirects meant zero broken references in my Master Materials. A highly recommended tool for any AA/Indie pipeline :)
Technical artist · AA/Indie pipeline
I had never considered using AI before, but this plugin has surprised me. It's easy to use, and really helps uncover issues in my project that I wasn't aware of.
Game developer
ShintTools is a solid Applied-AI infrastructure for game production. It integrates cleanly with both Unreal Engine and Unity, bringing smart tools that help streamline development workflows. Everything feels practical and well thought out. A great option for teams looking to boost efficiency.
Studio developer · UE5 + Unity
Honestly the asset auditing caught me off guard, it flagged a bunch of inconsistencies in our UE5 project we completely missed. Really useful if you're juggling a bigger team.
Unreal developer · mid-size team
Ran a quick asset audit on a messy UE5 project and it flagged duplicate materials I had completely missed. The local-first approach is a nice touch for studios worried about uploading source files.
