Shyne · About

Our Story

Great work rarely fails on ideas. It fails in the making. Shyne exists so people and AI agents can make things together — decks, docs, social, and video, on one live canvas.

Mas Abdi

Founder & CEO

Mas Abdi is a founder and engineer with a PhD and a background in consulting. He built NextDocs to take the formatting work out of professional documents — and watched users ask for something bigger: not better files, but a place where their team and their AI could design together. Shyne is that place.

Our Journey

Shyne is the third act of a product lineage that started with a resume builder and kept following what people actually did with AI.

  1. ChatGPT proved AI could write. But professional work isn't text — it's documents, decks, and campaigns with structure, layout, and a brand. The making was still manual.

  2. Our first product — an AI resume and cover letter builder. It hit its first revenue milestone quickly and proved people wanted AI in the making, not just the writing.

  3. We relaunched as NextDocs — an AI-native editor that generates multiple polished versions of documents and slides from a single prompt. Compare, choose, and refine.

  4. NextDocs reached $100K in annual recurring revenue with consultants, founders, and teams. It also taught us the limit of files: people didn't want a better document generator. They wanted a studio.

  5. We started building Shyne: one infinite canvas where your team and AI agents with real presence design everything your brand makes — and publish it from the same surface.

How Shyne Works

Most AI tools hand you a finished file and call it collaboration. Shyne puts the agent on the canvas with you: it designs beside your cursor, its edits land in the same history you can undo, and everything it makes follows your brand kit. Bring your own Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini — or use ours.

Today

Shyne is being built by the team behind NextDocs, carrying everything we learned from 60,000+ creators. The live canvas, agent presence, brand kits, the video timeline, and in-browser MP4 rendering are already real — and the product is getting ready for launch.

Our Vision

We believe design tools are becoming design studios: places where humans set the taste and direction, and agents do the production work at any scale. Shyne is built for that future — where a brand describes what it wants and watches it get made, on brand, on one canvas.

Company

Shyne is developed by Contentable Pty Ltd, an independent software company based in Sydney, Australia — the company behind NextDocs. The product is founder-led and built with a small group of specialized collaborators across AI, infrastructure, and design. We keep the team small so we can move quickly and sweat the details.
