Norte, a wallet intelligence app built solo and live on iOS
Norte is a wallet intelligence app for premium cardholders, taken end to end solo on an AI-native workflow, from brand and product to the engineering and growth. The AI does the volume and I hold the gate: the assistant reads the fine print and cites its source, but never invents. Live on iOS at 5.0, with activation above the industry standard.

A live iOS app that turns credit-card benefits into money people can use.
The decision
I moved the lead off insurance, which sold guilt, and onto wallet intelligence: your cards hide $2,600 in benefits, the system is rigged and opaque by design, Norte helps you win it. The reviews say the bet paid off.
