What IntelliForm Actually Does — Results from the Field ChemeNova LLC · Field Notes · May 2026 What IntelliForm actually does — results from the field Two platforms, real pilot data, and verifiable numbers. Here is what we measured when AI met the centrifuge floor — and what happens when you run a natural-language formulation brief through a five-model AI council. Shehan Makani · Co-Founder, ChemeNova LLC May 2026 I have spent the past year building two things in parallel: IntelliForm , an agentic AI platform for green chemistry formulation, and AI Node , a real-time process intelligence dashboard for centrifuge hardware at ChemRich Global's New Jersey facility. Both are now live, both have produced measurable results, and both are publicly documented on GitHub. This post is about the numbers. I am writing this because there is a large gap between how AI in chemistry is discussed — generally, aspirationally, in market slide dec...

Custom Manufacturing 2.0: Navigating the 2026 Agentic AI Revolution The global chemical manufacturing sector in 2026 has transitioned from speculative digital pilots to a standardized framework of "intelligent synthesis." As industries grapple with a 2.1 million-person labor shortage and persistent material price volatility, Chemrich Global has emerged as a leader in high-precision, low-cost custom manufacturing through its proprietary ChemeNova LLC platform (ABI Research, 2026; F7i.AI, 2026). The Economic Context of 2026 Global spending on AI infrastructure is projected to reach approximately $2 trillion by the end of 2026, driven by the maturation of generative models in process industries (Insight Global, 2026). For manufacturers, the urgency is clear: 95% of firms have already invested in AI/ML or plan to do so to protect margins in a high-inflation environment (ABI Research, 2026).
