Building Infrastructure for Autonomous AI Work

Zero Echelon is a veteran-led company building the systems that make AI agents reliable enough for production use.

Operational Fluency Is the Advantage

Richard isn't a consultant who read about AI infrastructure. He's a Process Team Lead at PBF Energy's Chalmette Refinery, running renewable diesel operations. He manages the Pretreater and Renewable Diesel units. He knows what "on-spec or shutdown" means because he lives it every shift.

Before the refinery, Richard served as a U.S. Army Captain with over 20 years of combined military and industrial operations experience. This background shapes everything Zero Echelon builds — systems designed for reliability, not demos.

In the last 6 days, working with AI agents through zeOS, Richard produced 882 commits across 6 production repositories. That's 147 commits per day. The tools work because they're battle-tested by their creator.

Four Pillars of AI Infrastructure

Each component solves a specific problem in making AI agents production-ready.

🧠

zeOS

Context Persistence Layer

The operating system for AI agents. GitOps as native memory. Session journals, boot protocols, capability registries. AI that remembers.

Production
📋

Blueprint

Specification Compiler

Natural language goals compiled into executable task contracts. Dependencies, interfaces, verification commands. The language between human intent and AI execution.

PyPI v1.3.0
🚀

Outpost

Multi-Agent Dispatch

5 AI agents executing in parallel. Claude, Codex, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok. Same task, five perspectives. True parallelism.

Production
🎯

AI Boardroom

Director/Worker Orchestration

AI directing AI. Session rotation, context injection, 5-9s reliability target. 158 tests passing. The coordination layer for autonomous work.
