What does Claudomat actually do for a designer — concretely?

Every week across four functions: Dev (intake automation, scope docs, revisions tracker, file delivery), Marketing (4 articles, case studies with consent, social drafts), Finance (per-project margin including scope creep, A/R, rate review), Sales (200-lead ICP, 30 BD outreach, 24h proposals). Shipped artifacts. See Section 02.

Will Claudomat do the actual design work?

No — design stays yours. Every pixel, every type choice, every layout. That's the craft clients pay for. Claudomat handles everything around the design: intake, scope, contracts, file delivery, portfolio marketing, BD, finance.

Will it help with scope creep?

Yes — this is one of the highest-leverage functions for designers. Dev builds scope guardrails into contracts (revision counts, change-request fees), tracks revisions visibly in Figma, and surfaces over-scope hours so they get invoiced instead of absorbed. See Section 03 for an example.

Can it write case studies for my portfolio?

Yes — based on project briefs, before/after visuals (you supply or approve), and client outcomes (with their consent). Most designers find this is the single function that pays back fastest — portfolio case studies win the next project, and they never get written without forcing function.

How is this different from a design ops contractor or studio manager?

A design ops contractor or studio manager costs $3–6k/mo and handles 1–2 functions. Claudomat costs $239/mo flat, runs all four functions, integrates across them (your portfolio updates from your project deliverables automatically), and produces shipped artifacts continuously.

Will it integrate with Figma / Notion / Dribbble?

Yes — direct integrations with Figma (file embeds, revision tracking, version exports), Notion, Dribbble (portfolio sync), Stripe, common scheduling tools, and most design-ecosystem platforms. Custom integrations via Dev sprints if not.

Will Claudomat post on Dribbble / Twitter / Instagram as me?

Drafts and scheduling, yes. Auto-publish on personal-brand accounts, no. Your visual voice on these platforms IS your reputation; it stays yours. Claudomat ghost-writes captions, schedules, optimizes timing — you press publish and you curate the visuals.

Can it handle revisions and client feedback?

Yes — tracks feedback per project, identifies patterns ('Client B asks for X every revision'), and surfaces when you're approaching scope limits. Doesn't auto-respond to feedback (that needs your judgment), but reduces the operational drag of managing it.

What if I want to grow into a small studio with a junior?

Claudomat hands off cleanly. When you hire a junior designer or ops person, they inherit Claudomat's workflows. You scale up the human team and Claudomat stays as the operational layer underneath.

What can't Claudomat do for a designer yet?

Three honest limits. (1) Design itself — the work stays yours. (2) Live client meetings, presentation of work, or pitch meetings — Claudomat preps and follows up, doesn't impersonate. (3) Photography, illustration, or any specialized visual work that requires your specific hand.

What Stays Yours

THE BOUNDARY

CLAUDOMAT EXECUTES.
YOU DECIDE WHAT MATTERS.

Claudomat isn't autopilot. The design itself, the taste, the visual judgment stay yours. Everything else runs.

Design itself — every pixel, every typography call
Which projects to take, which to decline
Pricing, scope, and revision structure
Brand voice — only you sound like you
Portfolio curation — what represents your work
Whether to stay solo, hire a junior, or join a studio

Your judgment. Claudomat's execution.

Why Designers

THE CASE

DESIGN IS THE CRAFT.
THE STUDIO IS THE BUSINESS.

Designers run one of the cleanest service businesses on the internet. A skilled product or brand designer charges $80–200/hr or $8–25k per project, ships work that compounds reputation, and clears $100–200k/year solo. Figma made the craft globally accessible. Modern portfolio platforms (Dribbble, Instagram, personal sites) made distribution real.

The catch is scope creep and the studio that never gets run. Every project goes 20–40% over scope when revisions stack up. Invoicing slips. The designer's own portfolio — the thing that wins the next project — never gets updated because client work always comes first. Most designers cap their income not on rate or talent but on the operating drag of being both designer and studio simultaneously.

Claudomat is the studio. Four functions — Dev (project ops with scope guardrails), Marketing (your portfolio, finally maintained), Finance (per-project margin including the scope creep), Sales (BD to founders and creative directors) — running every week. The designer stays in Figma. The studio runs around it.
