BluePrint
You describe what your business needs in plain language. ClayGen designs and builds the custom software and the AI to match, fitted to how you actually work, then runs, monitors, and secures it. The software your business runs on, built for you and kept working.
Last updated . Added the free first prototype and simplified build pricing: every build now starts at $2,500 CAD, quoted to scope.
What BluePrint Is
BluePrint is the way ClayGen turns what your business needs into working software, fast, and then keeps running it for you.
Most businesses face the same wall when their off-the-shelf tools stop fitting how they actually work. You can keep bending your process around software that was never built for you, stitch together a stack of apps that do not talk to each other, or commission a custom build that takes most of a year and a budget to match. None of those is a good answer for a small or mid-size business.
BluePrint is ClayGen's answer: an AI app builder with a real team behind it. You describe what your business needs in plain language, the way you would explain it to a new hire. Blue, the AI designer, sketches the app with you, then ClayGen's team builds it and runs it on ClayGen Connect, the platform your operations live on. Because the platform and the builder already exist, what would normally be a long custom project happens in a fraction of the usual time.
The result is software shaped to your workflow instead of a generic tool you have to work around, with the AI built in where it helps, and one team accountable for running, monitoring, and securing it for a one-time build fee and a flat per-user license. BluePrint powers Managed AI and every ClayGen Connect deployment.
Built for You, Without the Six-Month Project
Most providers fall into one of three camps. BluePrint is none of them, and that is the point.
Consultants advise. We build.
Plenty of firms will write you a strategy and a slide deck and then hand the hard part back to you. BluePrint produces working software, not recommendations. You get something running that your team can use, not a plan you still have to find someone to execute.
Integrators bolt tools together. We fit the work.
Wiring up a stack of off-the-shelf apps leaves you with the gaps between them and a process bent to fit the tools. BluePrint builds to your workflow, so the software follows how your business runs instead of forcing your business to follow the software.
Custom shops quote months. We deliver in weeks.
A traditional custom build means a long timeline and a budget to match. Because the platform and the builder already exist, BluePrint delivers custom software in weeks, not months, at a pace and price that make sense for a small or mid-size business.
How BluePrint Works
You bring the knowledge of your business. ClayGen brings the platform, Blue, and the team to run it.
Describe What You Need
You explain what your business needs in plain language, the way you would describe it to a new hire: the work you do, the steps you follow, where the time goes, and where things fall through the cracks. No technical spec required, and no pressure to know the answer in advance.
ClayGen Designs and Builds It
Blue, BluePrint's AI designer, sketches the app with you, then ClayGen's team builds it into working software fitted to your workflow, with the AI built in where it genuinely helps. Because the platform and the builder already exist, you see something real quickly instead of waiting out a long custom project.
It Connects to Your Systems
We connect Microsoft 365 and your other systems so the software works from your real data, gives you reporting across your operations, and automates the handoffs and follow-ups that quietly eat your team's time. The security and governance controls go in at the same time.
ClayGen Runs and Improves It
Once it is live, ClayGen runs the whole thing on ClayGen Connect: monitoring it, keeping it secure and compliant, and improving it as your business changes. You get visibility into what it is doing and one team accountable for keeping it working, for a one-time build fee and a flat per-user license.
What BluePrint Builds
One builder, fitted to your business, covering the software and the AI your operations run on.
Custom Software for How You Work
Software shaped around your actual processes: the way your business takes in work, moves it along, approves it, and reports on it, instead of a generic tool you have to bend your operations around.
AI Built Into the Software
The AI is built directly into the software your team uses every day, fitted to where it genuinely helps, so it is part of the work rather than a separate assistant your team has to remember to open.
Automation of Your Operations
We automate the specific, repetitive work your business runs on: the handoffs, approvals, reminders, follow-ups, and reporting that quietly consume your team's time, freeing people for higher-value work.
Microsoft 365 and Systems Integration
We connect Microsoft 365 and your other systems so the software works from real context and you get reporting and insight across your operations, not answers from a tool that cannot see your data.
A Platform You Can See
Everything runs on ClayGen Connect, the platform your operations live in, so you can see what is happening and what it is doing for your business rather than trusting a black box you have no window into.
Run, Monitored, and Secured
BluePrint does not stop at delivery. ClayGen runs the software, watches cost and quality, keeps it secure and compliant with Canadian privacy law, and improves it over time, for a one-time build fee and a flat per-user license.
Real Apps Blue Has Built
Each of these is a working app Blue built for a specific industry, from a plain-language description. Open any one and click through it. The version we deploy runs on ClayGen Connect with your data, your security, and your integrations.

The builder behind Managed AI and every Connect deployment
BluePrint is not a sales promise. It is the AI app builder ClayGen already uses to deliver real software on a real platform: Blue sketches the app, ClayGen builds it and runs it. It is what lets us fit custom software and AI to a business fast, and it powers everything else ClayGen sells.
BluePrint is the builder behind Managed AI
Managed AI means building AI into the platform your business runs on, then running, monitoring, and securing it. BluePrint is how that AI gets built and fitted to your specific business at a pace and price a small or mid-size company can actually say yes to.
It runs on ClayGen Connect
Connect is a working business platform that ClayGen builds and runs for clients today. Everything BluePrint builds lives there, where your operations, your data, and your automation already are, so you see it all working in one place rather than scattered across disconnected tools.
Custom software delivered in weeks, not months, because the platform and the builder already exist.
Deep Microsoft 365 and systems integration so the software works from your real data.
Governance and security built in, so what we build is safe to run in a regulated business.
Who BluePrint Is For
Canadian SMBs whose business has outgrown off-the-shelf tools but cannot take on a long custom build.
Businesses Outgrowing Off-the-Shelf Tools
Your operations have gotten specific enough that generic software no longer fits, and the workarounds are starting to cost you. BluePrint builds software shaped to how you actually work, without the timeline of a traditional custom project.
Teams Drowning in Disconnected Apps
You are stitching together a stack of tools that do not talk to each other, with the gaps filled by spreadsheets and manual handoffs. BluePrint replaces that with software built to your workflow and connected to Microsoft 365 and your other systems.
Security- and Compliance-Sensitive Businesses
Healthcare, legal, financial, and other regulated organizations that need custom software and AI but cannot risk data leaking or falling out of step with PIPEDA and PHIPA. Governance and security are built in from the start, not bolted on later.
Ontario SMBs Ready to Operate Differently
Ontario and our home base first. Businesses that want the software they run on fitted to them, with the AI built in and one accountable partner running it, instead of a scramble of point tools nobody fully adopts.
BluePrint Is the Builder Behind Managed AI
When ClayGen builds AI into the platform your business runs on, BluePrint is how it gets built: Blue designs it with you, then ClayGen fits it to your business and runs it. If you are weighing AI for your business, start with Managed AI and see where it fits.
