Custom software for operational companies that have outgrown their tools.
Most operational businesses I see are running four or five systems that do not talk. The data is trapped. Someone on the team fills the gap by hand, or lives without the report they actually need.
That gap is where I work. It might be a bridge between systems you already have. Sometimes it is getting the truth out into a dashboard. Sometimes it is replacing the stack. I build the software that closes it.
We connected Zoho and Striven for a field service network that sits between clients and technicians. Nothing off the shelf was built for that. Kickoff to production in six weeks.

He took the time to truly understand our workflows...before recommending solutions...and made sure what we implement actually makes sense for our business."
Donastar LLC, Equipment servicing
15 years shipping products. You work with me, not a junior team I hand the work to.
One senior person. No account managers, no handoffs, no markup for a room full of roles.
You are not renting someone else's average product. You get software built around how you already operate, or a studio seat that ships the next thing.
We dig into the problem, the users, and the business context. I come in as a senior operator, not a junior intake form.
AI synthesizes everything from discovery, generates strategic options, and builds out the project plan and tickets. We align on what we're building and why, without weeks lost to project management overhead.
We go straight to code. No Figma, no handoff, no translation loss between design and development.
We put the working prototype in front of real users. They test the real thing, not a mockup. We refine in code based on what we learn. Fast loops, no redesign cycles.
Give teams superpowers. For anyone with the curiosity and desire who just needs to carve out time or doesn't know where to start.
Turn an idea into a testable product concept in hours. A hands-on session for product people: build a real working prototype with AI tools, get feedback from practitioners who've shipped, and walk away with techniques to move faster and think bigger.
A 90-minute hands-on session for product managers. You'll build a personal product operating system that connects to the tools you already use: Linear, Jira, Granola, and more. Walk away with a working local project and at least one connected workflow you can use immediately.
Robot Heart 🤖❤️ is the Digital Product Studio of Jeremy Belcher, a 15-year product and design veteran who has designed sites and services for some of the world's most recognizable brands, including Google, Samsung, YouTube, Saturday Night Live, Emirates, and others.
Most recently, he served as VP of Product at Auxilius, where he led the product and design teams from zero to over $4 billion in managed spend and several million in ARR in under three years.
That experience (15 years of knowing what good looks like, what fails, and why) is what makes the AI leverage work. AI in the hands of a junior team produces junior output. AI in the hands of someone who's shipped products at this level produces something different.
Think of it as a principal-led model. Instead of financing an org chart of junior designers, developers, and PMs, you get one senior person and the same caliber of work, for a fraction of what a team costs.
Robot Heart is a digital product studio in Brooklyn, New York, run by Jeremy Belcher. It builds custom software for operational businesses that have outgrown their tools, and working MVPs for founders and product teams. One senior product person does the work, using AI-assisted development instead of a junior team.
Three things. Custom software for operational businesses: integrations between systems that do not talk to each other, operations dashboards, and replacements for stacks of half-used tools. MVPs: product strategy, design and a fully built working app in under 30 days. And hands-on AI workshops for product teams.

You work with one senior person from the first call to the last deploy. There are no account managers, no handoffs to a junior team after the sale, and no markup for a room full of roles. AI does the work a bench of juniors used to do, which is why the output matches a 10-person agency at a fraction of the cost. Robot Heart is US-based and works in your timezone.
Most first versions ship in weeks, not months. Donastar went from kickoff to a production integration in six weeks. For new products, a working prototype is typically ready in two weeks and a full MVP in under 30 days.
Every project is scoped to the problem, so there is no fixed price list. Custom software is usually a one-time build cost followed by an optional flat monthly fee that covers hosting and continued development. You get a clear number before anything starts, never an open-ended invoice.
Robot Heart is based in Brooklyn, New York, and works with clients across the United States remotely, in their own timezone and working hours.
