Selected AI Products & Experiments

Paul Bruemmer

AI Product & Business Strategist

I turn real-world problems into working products—identifying the problem, defining requirements, building and testing prototypes, refining the user experience, and exploring positioning, adoption and monetization.

AI dramatically accelerates development. It doesn't replace product judgment. My approach combines domain experience, customer and market feedback, multiple AI models, rapid prototyping, and repeated testing to determine what should actually be built.

03 — Background

Three Decades of Search. Now Building With AI.

I've worked in search and SEO since the mid-1990s—back when discovery meant hand-built directories and a handful of competing search engines. I watched that landscape consolidate around Google, then reshape itself again as AI systems began answering questions directly instead of returning links.

That long view is now applied work, not nostalgia: understanding how AI systems interpret and surface organizations, shaping product strategy around real user problems, prototyping quickly to test assumptions, and helping businesses adopt AI in ways that hold up in practice.

Interested in the work—or the thinking behind it?

I'm glad to talk through AI adoption, product strategy, AI search visibility, business coaching and advisory work, or relevant opportunities.
