HVAC Operations Intelligence
AirOrchestra
The AI-powered operations brain for commercial HVAC contractors. One entry point. Every role. Every project. Award to turnover.
A platform that turns your company's scattered tribal knowledge into a compounding intelligence engine. Core functionality is built and being tested with a live HVAC crew in the Pacific Northwest.
The Problem
Your Most Valuable Asset Walks Out the Door
You know that senior foreman — the one who just seems to know everything. The vet who can diagnose a complex issue just by the sound it's making. When they walk out the door for the last time, all that experience, all that knowledge — it walks right out with them.
It's a quiet, invisible leak. It costs companies a fortune in rework, in mistakes that get repeated over and over. And it's what stops you from growing safely.
Today's Reality
Critical knowledge trapped in people's heads. Tribal knowledge constantly draining away. Every retirement, every turnover starts the cycle over.
The Goal
A system where every lesson, every problem solved makes the whole company smarter. Knowledge that compounds — like interest in a savings account.
The industry runs on tribal knowledge locked in the heads of senior foremen. When they retire, it walks out the door.

The Solution
A Compounding HVAC Brain for Your Entire Company
This isn't a fancy search bar or some static database. Think of it as a living, breathing engine.
Every question an installer asks, every solution a foreman comes up with, every decision a PM makes — it all gets captured and folded back into the company's collective intelligence, ready for the next person on the next job.
When a field tech asks a question from the jobsite, the answer comes from the entire AirOrchestra stack — knowledge core, agent network, analytics layer, and integration infrastructure.
Architecture
Four Layers, One Brain
The easiest way to think about it is like a four-layer cake. No confusing tech speak — here's how it works in simple terms.
Knowledge Core
The Foundation
SMACNA, ASHRAE, ICC, NFPA, NEC, OSHA, OEM manuals — plus YOUR company standards, YOUR project history, YOUR lessons learned. Not scraped from the internet. Built from trusted, citable sources.
Communication
Zero Learning Curve
Live on Telegram today. Designed to plug into Teams, Slack, WhatsApp, and voice. No clunky new software to learn. Your crew asks a question the same way they'd text a coworker.
AI Agents
Tailored for Every Role
Specialized agents for every role — each sees the same data through a different lens. The installer gets code answers. The foreman gets a co-pilot. The PM gets a cockpit. The owner gets a crystal-clear view.
Analytics
The Leadership View
Job-level risk scoring. Predicted schedule slips. Multi-dimension dashboards. Full audit trail. Leadership sees problems before they cost money.
The Trust Commitment
The system will never, ever make things up.
Every answer is built directly from the documents in your knowledge core. It will always show you its work by citing the source — document, section, clause, page.
If it doesn't know, it says so. Period.
Day in the Life
What Does This Actually Feel Like on a Tuesday Afternoon?
Enough about architecture. Here's what AirOrchestra means for real people doing real work. The field tech and foreman workflows are live today. The rest is being built on the same proven core.
The Installer
Picture this. Your installer is up on a ladder holding a piece of duct. Instead of guessing, or climbing down to find a foreman, or making a call and waiting — they just ask their phone a question.
The right answer. In seconds. With your company standard and the code reference. No typing with gloves on — voice works.
The Foreman
The person always being pulled in 10 different directions at once. AirOrchestra acts like a co-pilot, not more paperwork. It handles the admin — drafting daily logs, tracking RFIs, sending reminders. This frees them up to actually lead the crew and solve real problems on site.
Morning Check-in
Good morning. Job A — Building C ductwork rough-in. What's your plan today? Which zones are you hitting? Any critical trade dependencies?Auto-generated
✓ Job status updated: Zone 3-4 rough-in✓ Material request: fire caulk → flagged for supply run
✓ Trade dependency: electrical in Zone 3 → RFI #23 drafted
✓ Reminder set: RFI #19 — open 4 days, no GC response
A brief voice message or text. That's it. The system handles daily logs, material tracking, RFI drafts, and schedule risk — automatically.
The Project Manager
In DevelopmentTotal game changer. Instead of chasing people for updates and manually piecing together reports, they get one live screen with everything. Weekly summaries built automatically using real data from the field. Gets them out of firefighting mode and actually ahead of problems.
Safety & HR
In DevelopmentThey can see what kinds of questions people are asking in the field. Spot trends in safety incidents before they become a real problem. Push out targeted, specific training exactly when and where it's needed — instead of a generic annual class. The whole company's development becomes a continuous loop.
The Owner
In DevelopmentPull all the way back to the 30,000-foot view. Instead of waiting for a monthly report that's already out of date — just ask a simple question in plain English and get an immediate, honest answer about any project in your portfolio.
Not a long, confusing report — just the facts. Clear, concise, based on what's actually happening. A real-time X-ray of your jobs and your people.
The Result
What You're Actually Building
Faster Onboarding
New hires get up to speed in a fraction of the time. They inherit decades of institutional knowledge from day one.
No More Repeat Mistakes
Stop making the same expensive mistakes over and over on new jobs. Every lesson learned is captured and available to everyone.
Scale Without Fear
Take on more work — even more complex work — without that nagging fear you're going to lose control of quality.
Competitive Landscape
Nobody Has Built This
The tools that exist don't solve the real problem. They weren't built for commercial HVAC installation contractors.

Next-Gen Features
Beyond Q&A — Platform Intelligence
Where the platform is heading next.
Installation Quality Vision
Phone camera → AI analyzes ductwork photos → evaluates hanger spacing, seal integrity, insulation. Nobody does this for HVAC — open gap.
Predictive Maintenance
IoT sensors on installed equipment. AI detects failure signatures 7-21 days before breakdown. Monitoring-as-a-service after installation — recurring revenue.
Smart Crew Scheduling
AI optimizes assignments: skills, certifications, apprentice/journeyman ratios, prevailing wage rules. No one else handles union rules in scheduling.
Trade-Specific Voice AI
Built for noisy jobsites. Understands "12-inch main trunk", "round takeoff on the fourth branch", "fire damper at the rated wall penetration." Generic assistants fail here.
Integrated Commissioning
TAB → punch list → closeout. Currently Excel and paper everywhere. AirOrchestra automates the sequence with generated checklists and documentation.
AR Ductwork Overlay
BIM model overlay through phone camera. Installer sees where ducts should go before installation. 5-12% rework reduction.

The Builder
Not Another Silicon Valley Idea
Serge Sysoev — union sheet metal worker, Sheet Metal Workers Local 66, Everett, WA.
20+ years in construction and engineering. Civil engineering degree. Manufacturing businesses. US immigration. Every layer of HVAC: gas pipe, equipment install, TAB, calibration, commercial sheet metal.
"Built by someone who installs ductwork — not by someone who Googles what HVAC means."
The field intelligence bot is already deployed with a live HVAC crew. This isn't a pitch deck. The core technology works.
At the end of the day, this is the foundational operating system for any HVAC contractor who is serious about growing faster than the competition — while keeping a tight grip on risk.
Stop the drain. Stop starting from scratch with every new person and every new project. Build a company where knowledge is your single greatest asset — an asset that grows and compounds and makes you better on every single job.
