RoBlueprintAI · SaaS Product · UX - For Small & Medium Businesses
Buy back your team's time with AI that actually fits your business.
I'm Rob - 18 years building SaaS products, most recently leading AI across systems generating $6B+ ARR. Now I help small and medium businesses harness AI to cut the busywork, move faster, and do more without hiring more. A subject-matter expert in AI, product, and UX - embedded with your team.
Who this is for
For small and medium businesses that want their time back.
You know AI matters - you're just not sure where to start.
You don't need another think piece. You need someone who's done this in production to tell you what to do on Monday.
Your team is busy and stretched thin.
They're experimenting with ChatGPT, but nothing has made it into the actual business yet. You want hours back, not more pilots.
You want senior expertise, not a generalist agency.
Product, UX, and AI judgment - embedded with your team - without a six-figure full-time hire.
The offer
Three ways to work together.
About
Enterprise-grade AI experience, pointed at your business.
I'm Rob Patterson. For 18+ years I've built SaaS products across platforms generating billions in revenue - most recently as VP of Emerging Products at SiriusXM, driving AI transformation across a $300M+ automotive portfolio and platform systems serving millions of users.
Now I'm based in Traverse City, Michigan, bringing that same playbook to small and medium businesses across Northern Michigan in person - and remotely to clients nationwide - at your scale, at your pace. What sets my work apart is the combination: deep AI expertise paired with hard-won product and UX judgment. AI projects don't fail because the model is wrong - they fail because no one designed for how people would actually use it. That's the gap I close, so the time you save is real and it sticks.
I work with a handful of clients at a time so the work stays hands-on. If we work together, you get me - teaching your team, sitting on your retainer, and building alongside them.

FAQ
Common questions.
What is a fractional AI expert?
A senior AI specialist who works with your team on retainer or part-time, giving you expert direction and hands-on builds without the cost of a full-time hire.
Do you only work with businesses in Traverse City?
I'm based in Traverse City and work hands-on with Northern Michigan businesses, but I also work with clients remotely across the U.S.
How is this different from hiring an AI agency?
You get one senior product, UX, and AI expert embedded with your team - not a generalist agency or a junior account manager.
What does an engagement look like?
A four-step process: Discover, Plan, Build/Teach, and Hand off - so you own and can run what we build.
