AI Systems Studio
Studio Cruz is Joy Cruz-Medranda's one-person AI building practice. Custom tools, diagnostic apps, and backend workflows for small businesses, creators, and coaches — async, from start to finish.
Approach
Diagnostician first. I identify what's actually missing before anything gets built — so the output solves a real problem, not a surface one.
Clients
Creators, coaches, and small e-commerce businesses who need systems and tools — not a vendor, a builder who thinks.
Process
Intake form → payment → build → Loom delivery → one revision round. Async by design. No unnecessary meetings.
How I Work
Most people come in knowing they need "something with AI." I help you figure out exactly what that thing is — and build it so it actually fits how you work.
We start with a scoped intake — I ask the questions most builders skip. What's the real bottleneck? What's the user journey? Where does the logic need to live?
I work asynchronously — no status check-ins, no long Zoom calls. You get a Loom walkthrough when the project is ready for your eyes.
Everything I build, you can actually own and maintain. I document what I built and why, so you're not dependent on me to change a single word.
Selected Work
Three projects that show how the diagnostician-first approach translates into real, working tools.
A 10-question diagnostic that maps behavioral patterns to all 8 Human Design inner authority types — with percentage-based scoring that reveals primary and secondary patterns. Built without a traditional dev background using AI-assisted development.

A custom Google Sheets workbook that consolidates affiliate link management, content pipeline tracking, and product organization into one structured, scalable system.
Services
Three packages built for async delivery. You fill out a form. I build it. You get a Loom walkthrough.
A focused async diagnostic. You fill out an intake form, I send back a recorded Loom with a clear picture of what you actually need — before you spend anything on a build.
Ideal for: Getting unstuck
One deliverable, built to spec — from a single focused system to a full custom build. Tools, systems, social profiles, store structures, workbooks, automations. Intake form → build → Loom delivery → revisions.
Ideal for: One-time projects
Ongoing build and optimization support. Monthly deliverables, priority async access, and an evolving system that grows with your business.
Ideal for: Sustained growth
About
I come from senior customer service and executive assistant roles in digital media — careers built entirely on figuring out what someone actually needs before acting. That instinct is the core of how I build.
I use AI as a co-builder, not a shortcut. My edge is in prompt architecture and logic design — translating a business problem into a system that actually works, not just one that looks like it does.
I work async by default, form-first by design. If you're a creator, coach, or small business owner who needs a real tool built — not a conversation about it — this is the right fit.
