AI built into your product's DNA

[For founders who won’t sacrifice integrity for hype — and want intelligence that fits.]

You’re vision-led, product-native, design-minded — and building something with soul.  
Not AI-native, but you know it’s time.

I design intelligent systems that become an organic part of your product. They understand your users, their context, and where they are in the flow. They surface the right signal, guide choices, and reduce effort — so your users move with ease and confidence.

The architect

[The intelligence is already there — I give it form.]
[About me.]

I’m Stephan Singh Ryatt — 3x founder and architect of AI-native systems.
To me, product coherence isn’t a byproduct — it’s a commitment. That’s why I work across strategy, architecture, UX, and code — I see them as aspects of the same design process.

I’ve built AI-native systems that bring clarity to complex, human-centered domains—including a psychographic study program recommender for aspiring students, an AI storytelling tool for nonprofits  and an astrology interpretation engine for spiritual seekers.

I build from first principles: what’s real, what's emerging, and what the system needs to evolve. My background in astrology taught me to recognize patterns — and to work with them, instead of copy / pasting templates and frameworks.

This allows me to build what I call product-native intelligence: AI systems that simply fit — because they emerge from what’s already true. They're not bolted-on. And they're not chasing trends.

I embed them deeply into your product: into your flows, give them access to your user data, and teach them how to work with your data model.

Simply put, my AI systems enable your product to think with you.

Let’s architect the intelligence your product is ready for.

The ākāśa

[Where your product's core signal emits from.]

Every one of my build starts here — beneath architecture, UX and code — in the subtle field where your product's true signal emerges from:

  • The core purpose it’s built around
  • Your user's raison d'être
  • The problems you're solving for them

And it’s where we surface what’s ready to emerge:

  • The hidden patterns in your user's data
  • The friction in their key flows
  • The missing layer your product’s ready for

We don’t begin with features. We begin with looking at what's real.

From there, we shape native intelligence into your product — an AI system that doesn’t just works. It feels like it was always meant to be there.

We make your product AI-native.

The principles

[How I design AI systems.]
[1]

AI-native integration

Every interaction is shaped to feel like your product is thinking with the user. It knows who they are, what they're doing and the best way to get there.

[2]

Context-aware

The system has access to the relevant information: product and user data, specific knowledge or external API's.

[3]

On-task, on-brand

Guardrails that align to your product’s voice, values, and trust contract. Clarity in what it says — and what it shouldn’t.

[4]

Built to evolve

Every layer — from prompts to memory to routing — is designed for tuning, refinement, and long-term adaptability.

[5]

Composability over complexity

Simple pieces. Clean logic. Scalable systems - without bloat, duct tape or technical debt.

The results

[AI-native systems I’ve crafted and shipped.]

Pathfinder Pro ↗

[Intelligent Career Guidance]
[Pathfinder Pro ↗]

Supports future students in finding the ideal Swiss university program and career path through a personalized report — based on psychographic data and intelligent matching.

I architected the AI system: from embeddings and RAG-based retrieval to report orchestration and UX delivery. It builds a user profile from longform survey data, matches it to study programs, and generates a tailored guidance report.

Removes the guesswork from one of life’s biggest decisions.

Copalana: StoryTeller ↗

[Mission-Aligned Content Creation]
[Copalana ↗]

Helps nonprofits turn raw updates into emotionally resonant, cause-aligned content that amplifies awareness, donations, and engagement.

I co-founded Copalana, a Swiss social-impact platform. For StoryTeller, I led product and technical development — architecting the full AI system and UX: from dynamic prompt orchestration to an interface where users fine-tune tone, length, or edit posts directly. I also prototyped an upcoming AI content planner: a wizard-based flow that captures audience, content focus, and platform preferences — and returns AI-ready content blocks, structured for the AI to craft into full posts.

Content with heart. Created at scale.

The Compass ↗

[AI-native Astrology Engine]
[Uranian ↗]

Enables spiritual seekers to decode their karmic patterns and soul mission through a fully personalized, 50+ page astrology report.

I co-founded and led product & technical development — architecting a multi-step LLM orchestration system that interprets raw astrological data into a cohesive, personalized narrative. I also shaped the full user experience — from website experience to how the report lands emotionally.

Reads like a letter from your higher-self.

The layers

[The building blocks of the intelligent systems I build.]

Context layer

What the system knows, remembers, and retrieves to stay relevant and attuned.

Modular LLM flows

Reusable flows that cleanly separate prompts, logic, memory, and context — built to adapt as your product evolves.

Memory & continuity

Remembers what matters — across sessions, flows, and choices — so the system meets users where they are.

Knowledge grounding

Injects context-relevant information to the LLM  — real-time user inputs, user data from your DB or general product information — to ensure relevancy.

Behaviour layer

How the system interacts, adapts, and makes decisions.

Flow orchestration

Orchestrates how the system moves — deciding what happens next based on user input, context, and internal state.

Tool use & API calls

Extends the system’s reach — letting it trigger tools, fetch data, or move something forward.

Guardrails & tone alignment

Keeps the system on-task and in-character — knowing what it should (and shouldn’t) say, and how to say it.

System delivery

How the system is shipped, tuned, and handed off.

Microservices & APIs

Wrapped as modular services — stable, scoped, and ready to plug into your product via REST APIs.

Feedback interfaces

Lets you refine the system over time — with ways to flag bad output, tweak prompts, or tune performance.

Handoff & documentation

Delivers what your team needs to take over — clear docs, config maps, and a system you fully understand.

The patterns

[Each AI system is built custom, but some shapes repeat.]

Intent-to-decision guide

[Decision Layer]

What it is:
An embedded AI system that helps users choose — by turning vague intent into crisp decisions. Think: onboarding flows, complex settings, or branching product paths — guided by brand-aligned dialogue.

Why it matters:
It reduces friction at critical junctures, boosts clarity, and builds user trust. Instead of guessing or abandoning, users move forward with confidence.

From “I think I want to…” to “This is what I need.”

Intent-to-personalization

[Personalization Layer]

What it is:
An embedded AI layer that dynamically adjusts product flows, defaults, or pathways — based on user traits, context, and intent.

Why it matters:
Builds instant resonance by shaping the product around the user — not the other way around. Reduces friction, boosts clarity, and scales the feeling of “this was made for me.”

Your product meets them where they are — and moves with them as they grow.

User-sourced idea synthesizer

[Insight Layer]

What it is:
An AI system that clusters user feedback, feature requests, and open-ended input — turning signal into roadmap-ready insights.

Why it matters:
Reveals patterns your team might miss, sharpens prioritization, and aligns your roadmap with what users are really asking for.

Where raw feedback becomes product clarity.

Embedded knowledge chat

[Knowledge Layer]

What it is:
An AI layer that reflects user progress, choices, or patterns back to them — helping them see how far they've come, and what’s next.

Why it matters:
Reinforces progress, deepens engagement, and drives retention — by making users feel the value they’ve already created.

What they’ve done becomes why they come back.

Contextual guide

[Guidance Layer]

What it is:
An AI assistant embedded inside your product — one that knows where the user is, what they’re trying to do, and offers real-time help.

Why it matters:
Guides users through complex interactions, reduces hesitation, and prevents drop-off. Builds trust by showing up with just the right nudge — at just the right time.

Help, when and where it matters most.

Signal-to-reflection loop

[Reflection Layer]

What it is:
An AI layer that mirrors meaningful user patterns — showing progress, highlighting choices, and surfacing what’s ready to evolve.

Why it matters:
Turns past actions into present insight. Builds trust and retention by making the user’s own signal visible, valuable, and actionable.

They don’t just see where they’ve been — they see where they’re going.

Signal-to-clarity synthesizer

[Insight Layer]

What it is:
An AI system that takes in scattered, messy, or multimodal inputs—voice notes, Looms, transcripts, threads—and distills them into structured clarity: briefs, specs, or next steps.

Why it matters:
Unblocks product momentum by removing ambiguity, speeding up decisions, and freeing up founder bandwidth. Your team gets what they need—without you repeating yourself.

Structured output. Zero re-explaining.

Intent-to-structure composer

[Builder Layer]

What it is:
An AI layer that transforms vague user intent into structured output — like a content plan, a database schema, or a multi-step action flow.

Why it matters:
It removes the friction between thought and execution — helping users go from “I think I need…” to a fully scaffolded artifact they can run with.

Fast. From fuzzy ask to structured action.
