# Belden Studio

> San Francisco AI engineering studio. Belden Studio works with startups and small businesses that need production AI products, voice systems, agent workflows, and operational software shipped cleanly.

Belden Studio LLC is a San Francisco-based AI engineering studio led by Campbell Belden. The studio works with founders and operators who need strong technical judgment, clear execution, and working software.

The work is not enterprise consulting and not proof-of-concept theater. It is hands-on product and systems engineering for teams that want to move quickly and ship real software.

## Founder Background

- Campbell Belden has 10 years of engineering experience across AI, realtime systems, product UI, and operational software.
- Prior work spans live streaming platforms, async video communication products, consumer security web products, and computer vision applications.
- Relevant background includes WebRTC livestreaming, TensorFlow ML pipelines at scale, async video platforms, production UI engineering, and computer vision systems.

## Services

- **AI Strategy & Roadmapping**: Figure out what to build first, where AI is actually useful, and what an executable first version should look like.
- **AI Discoverability**: llms.txt, MCP servers, JSON-LD schema, robots setup, and other infrastructure that makes a business easier for AI systems to understand and use.
- **AI Product Development**: Voice-powered products, autonomous agents, realtime web applications, and AI-native interfaces built end to end.
- **Operations Automation**: Internal systems and workflow automation for teams dealing with repetitive, high-friction operational work.

## Best-Fit Clients

- US startups and small businesses
- Founders or operators with a concrete product, workflow, or internal process to improve
- Teams that want direct engineering judgment and execution

Not a fit for enterprise transformation projects, generic innovation workshops, or speculative AI demos with no path to deployment.
