Introducing App Intelligence: Nordic quality at AI speed
After 17 years of delivering world-class apps and 1,000+ successful projects, Shortcut is combining proven human expertise with cutting-edge AI to revolutionize app development. App Intelligence delivers enterprise-ready mobile solutions in weeks, not months—without sacrificing the craft and attention to detail that makes apps truly exceptional.

The app revolution never stopped
Seventeen years ago, we built our first app, Trafikanten, bringing public transport information to people's pockets in Oslo. Back then, we had no idea how essential mobile apps would become to daily life. No Uber, no Instagram, no banking apps, not even navigation on our phones.
Today, we're witnessing another inflection point. AI has burst onto the scene with incredible capabilities, enabling anyone to build functional apps in minutes. Tools like Lovable and Bolt can turn a simple idea into working code faster than ever before.
But here's what we've learned after delivering 1,000+ apps with our team of 150 experts: there's a difference between an app that works and an app that works well.
The hidden cost of "Good enough"
We've all experienced it—the dropdown that closes when you try to scroll, the form that loses your data when you accidentally refresh, the loading state that never actually loads. These aren't just minor annoyances; they're the difference between users loving your product and abandoning it.
AI-generated apps can be impressively functional, but they often miss the nuanced understanding of user behavior that comes from years of watching real people interact with real products. They solve the technical problem but miss the human one.
Why choose between speed and craft?
Our traditional comprehensive app development, with deep planning, custom architecture, and extensive integrations, continues to be essential for complex, mission-critical projects. And as AI capabilities mature, we expect these tools will increasingly enhance every aspect of professional app development.
But the transformation is happening now. We're seeing growing demand for AI-accelerated development cycles: startups needing investor-ready MVPs, enterprises testing new concepts rapidly, and forward-thinking businesses exploring what's possible when human expertise guides AI capabilities.
Pure AI tools can deliver impressive speed, but they often miss the user experience details and business considerations that make apps truly successful. By pioneering the integration of AI with proven development practices, we're not just delivering faster solutions today. We're building the expertise that will define the future of professional app development.
Introducing App Intelligence
App Intelligence combines our 17 years of proven expertise in app design and development with the latest AI-powered tools. It's not about replacing human insight with artificial intelligence, it's about amplifying it.
Here's how it works:
Our experienced team leverages AI to accelerate the development process while applying human expertise where it matters most: user experience design, edge case handling, performance optimization, and the countless small details that make apps feel polished and professional.
The result? Nordic quality at AI speed.
