# Belden Studio

> San Francisco AI engineering studio helping small teams turn repeated work, ChatGPT Business seats, and AI product ideas into shipped software.

Belden Studio LLC is led by Campbell Belden. The studio works with founders and operators who have a concrete workflow, product, or internal process to improve.

## Services

- **First AI Workflow**: Map one repeated process, build a first useful AI-assisted version, test it with real examples, and hand it off.
- **ChatGPT Business Launchpad**: For teams whose paid seats are not getting used: safe defaults, 3-5 governed weekly workflows, reusable GPTs or Projects, team enablement, and a two-week adoption check-in.
- **Custom AI Product Development**: Agents, voice systems, realtime interfaces, and production AI features.
- **Belden Studio LLC Consulting**: Founder-level product and technical leverage for AI product teams across product, architecture, hands-on implementation, evaluation loops, and production software.
- **AI Discoverability / MCP**: llms.txt, MCP, JSON-LD, and related infrastructure that helps AI systems understand and use a business surface.

## Best-Fit Clients

- US startups and small businesses
- Founders or operators with a specific process or product constraint
- Teams that want direct engineering judgment and working software

Not a fit for vague AI strategy work with no deployment path.
