RelayForgeRelayForge™ · Why We Exist

Built by someone who stood next to the valve.

RelayForge is what happens when a refinery I&E tech decides to build the trust layer for AI.

The Problem

For 20 years, I calibrated instruments in oil refineries. The first rule of the field: you never trust a reading you can't trace. Every gauge has a serial number. Every transmitter has a calibration record. That accountability isn't bureaucracy — it's what keeps people alive.

Then I watched AI agents get connected to enterprise workflows, supply chains, and control systems with no equivalent standard. No calibration tag. No sign-off chain. No way to verify what an agent actually is, or whether it's been tampered with.

"We're trusting uncalibrated gauges with no serial numbers."

The Solution
01The Lobster Wizard
Live

Your AI assistant, calibrated.

Set up your own personal AI assistant in minutes. Choose your channel, define its mission, give it a name. No code. No guesswork.

02Carapace Protocol
In Review

The trust layer AI is missing.

Cryptographic identity and attestation infrastructure for AI agents. Submitted to NIST. Because a gauge you can't trace has no business in a live system.

03InstrumentUberkind
Q3 2026

The first verified I&E domain model.

A large language model trained on instrumentation and controls knowledge, built for field technicians. Not a chatbot — a calibrated tool.

On Accountability
"

I would never commission a valve I worked on without standing next to the operator. If he gets hit, I do too — because it was my repair.
