ByteLite LLC

ByteLite LLC is a product company built in Helena, MT by founder Tash Broadwater. We build products people actually want, backed by infrastructure we built ourselves.

"HeartStrings was the original idea. ByteLite is what we built to make it possible."

In 2024, while developing HeartStrings -- a relationship intelligence platform -- founder Tash Broadwater hit a fundamental constraint: AI models demanded storage and compute that put the product out of reach for an independent team. The question that followed became ByteLite.

HeartStrings Play is the first public launch product. A premium social board game that does not require any backend infrastructure to deliver a real experience right now. The HeartStrings App follows -- powered by ByteLite compression and Deep Kore intelligence. The ecosystem is designed from the outside in: consumer product first, infrastructure supporting it.

The Ecosystem

HeartStrings Play

Pre-Launch

A premium social board game for couples, dates, and intimate gatherings. Six escalating card tiers. AIya and AIon as guides. The first public-facing product from ByteLite LLC.

ByteLite

Active Engineering

The infrastructure layer. Structural compression using Bit Motion Encoding over the Sigma-9 alphabet. Patent pending. Born from the storage problem HeartStrings surfaced in 2024.

Deep Kore / AIya

Research

The intelligence and governance layer. AIya and AIon are its first public face. Genesis Goal Keeper safety framework governs all research. Blueprint-stage architecture building carefully.

What We Are Building

We are building a consumer product ecosystem where every layer is owned by the team. HeartStrings Play is the front door. The app is the expansion. ByteLite is the engine underneath. Deep Kore is the long bet on what intelligent infrastructure can become.

Why This Approach

The launch product -- HeartStrings Play -- requires no backend. It works now. It generates interest. It creates the context the app and the ecosystem need to matter to real people. Infrastructure without a product is just research. We built both.
