I'm Rich Long — integration architect and AI engineer based in East Texas. I design enterprise integrations by day and build AI systems for manufacturing by night.
Industrial equipment fails without warning — costing manufacturers days of downtime and thousands in emergency repairs. PredictiveIQ ingests real-time sensor data, runs per-asset anomaly detection with Isolation Forest, computes live health scores, and routes anomalies to an LLM-powered advisor that explains what's wrong in plain English. Integrates with Ignition SCADA historians.
Operators shouldn't have to page through 500-page manuals mid-shift. The Guide is a document intelligence platform that lets manufacturers upload SOPs, safety manuals, and equipment guides — then ask questions in plain language and get cited, safety-aware answers. BYOM architecture means customers bring their own LLM provider and data stays on-premises.
SMB manufacturers need AI capabilities but can't send proprietary process data to the cloud. Harmony Core is a fully on-premises AI agent that runs on an edge server inside the facility — local LLM inference, local embeddings, nothing leaves the building. Same feature set as the cloud version, zero data egress. Ships as a single docker compose stack.
The managed-hosting sibling of Harmony Core. Manufacturers who want the AI capability without the infrastructure overhead get the same agent, same feature set, fully hosted. Harmony Cloud handles authentication, model routing, tenant isolation, and uptime — customers focus on their process, not their stack.
Estimators spend hours digging through historical quotes to price new jobs. QuoteForge uses semantic search over historical RFP data — hybrid vector + structured search — to surface relevant precedents and generate LLM-powered cost and lead time recommendations. Cloud-portable: runs identically on AWS or Azure with no configuration changes.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) implementation for intelligent quoting workflows. Takes incoming RFPs, compares them against historical quotes using semantic similarity, and surfaces matched precedents for review. Demonstrates MCP as a practical enterprise integration primitive — structured tool calls, not prompt engineering.
Multi-tenant AI agent platform built for real production workloads. Each user gets complete session isolation — separate conversation history, memory, and preferences, zero cross-contamination. Pluggable adapter architecture lets you swap local (dev) and Azure (prod) implementations for memory, LLM, auth, storage, and messaging without code changes. Role-based tool access control built in.
Personal AI assistant running on Telegram backed by Claude Code. Handles text, photos, documents, and voice. Maintains semantic memory across sessions via Supabase and checks in proactively. A bootstrap template for anyone who wants a persistent AI assistant without the complexity of building infrastructure from scratch.
Personal knowledge management dashboard built on top of an OpenClaw workspace. Surfaces memories, daily notes, documents, tasks, and projects through a unified Next.js interface with full-text search and calendar view. An exploration of what a truly personal AI-native PKM looks like when the underlying data is structured for agent consumption.
Technical tutorials on building AI systems — predictive maintenance, RAG pipelines, MCP integrations, and industrial AI. Aimed at engineers who want to go beyond demos.
I'm Rich Long — an integration architect and AI engineer based in East Texas with 20+ years in enterprise software. By day I lead MuleSoft integrations at scale: API-led connectivity, complex data transformations, enterprise middleware. By night I build AI tools for manufacturing, because factory floors deserve better software than they've been getting.
I'm drawn to the hard problems at the intersection of AI and operational technology — predictive maintenance, document intelligence for industrial SOPs, making machine data accessible to the people who actually need it, and the unglamorous work of connecting AI systems to the legacy infrastructure that runs the world. Most of these problems aren't solved by calling an API. They require understanding the physical system first.
I'm also one of the founders of Harmony AI, building agent-first AI products for SMB manufacturers.
