Bobby OS for Graphic Designers in Detroit: Voice AI Admin

Detroit graphic designers bill an average of $75-125 per hour for design work, yet spend 12-15 hours weekly on non-billable tasks: answering client calls during creative sprints, chasing invoice payments, scheduling revision rounds, transcribing project briefs from rambling voicemails. That's $900-1,875 weekly in lost creative billing time. Bobby OS routes those hours back to your Adobe suite.

Bobby is a voice-first operating system that handles the operational layer graphic design studios traditionally do manually. You speak naturally—"Bobby, log that the Ford dealer brochure needs two more revision rounds and invoice them Friday"—and Bobby executes across your CRM, accounting, and scheduling stack. Built for Detroit's maker economy: solo designers in Corktown, small studios in Eastern Market, freelancers serving Metro Detroit automotive suppliers and hospitality brands.

What Bobby does concretely for graphic design workflows

• Client intake by voice: "Bobby, new client—Detroit Seafood Market, contacted via Instagram, needs menu redesign and storefront signage, budget around $3,500, first call tomorrow at 2 PM." Bobby creates the CRM contact, logs channel source, sets the calendar event, and drafts a confirmation email.
• Project status updates: During a design session, say "Bobby, mark the Riverwalk Cafe logo as final files delivered, send invoice for $1,200, net-15 terms." Bobby updates your project tracker, generates the invoice in QuickBooks or FreshBooks, and emails the client—no screen switching.
• Automated follow-up sequences: "Bobby, if any invoice older than 10 days hasn't been paid, send a polite reminder every 3 days." Bobby monitors accounts receivable and executes without you remembering.
• Revision round management: "Bobby, client feedback just came in for the brewery label—add revision round three, due Friday, flag if we exceed the contracted rounds." Bobby logs it, tracks scope creep, and alerts you before free revisions become unpaid work.
• Portfolio and testimonial collection: After project close, Bobby asks clients for reviews via text or email, routes positive feedback to your Google Business Profile, and archives case study material.

Radical honesty: What Bobby does NOT do

Bobby does not design for you. It won't choose your color palettes, kern your typography, or pitch creative concepts to clients. It will not replace your Adobe Creative Cloud subscription or project management platform—it integrates with them. Bobby does not work offline; it requires internet connectivity. It will not handle complex contract negotiation or legal disputes. And Bobby does not pretend every voice command works flawlessly on day one—accuracy improves as it learns your terminology (Pantone codes, Detroit neighborhood names, recurring client nicknames).

How much does it cost?

Bobby offers a free demo environment where you test voice commands against dummy data—no credit card, no setup fee. You pay only when activating three or more modules in production (CRM + invoicing + scheduling, for example). Pricing starts at $49/month for solo designers, scaling with team size and module count. Detroit designers typically activate 4-6 modules and reclaim 8-10 hours weekly within the first month—enough to take on one additional client project per month or reclaim evenings.
