Eugene, Oregon
Eric Richers, LPC · the whole studio
Software with a forty-four-year head start.
My father wrote software in this state before I could read. I came at it sideways, a licensed counselor building the tools my own field would not buy, and never stopped. Ulric is the second Richers software company to call Oregon home.
Why one person
No account manager, no handoff, no telephone game. The person who designs it writes it, ships it, and answers the phone when it breaks. That is the whole pitch, and it is why the work stays coherent.
The counseling part
Fifteen years of sitting with people who could not say what was wrong turns out to be training for requirements gathering. I build for small practices because I ran one.

Who you would be working with
Eric Richers.
One person, two trades. A licensed professional counselor who spent fifteen years across the desk from people who could not name what was wrong, and a builder who has been reading source since fourteen. Ulric is both of those at once: software for small practices, written by someone who ran one.

What I do
The whole build, one person.
- Custom platformsThe software your business runs on: sites, directories, dashboards, the CMS underneath.
- Branding solutionsThe name, the look, the words. What people see matching what you actually are.
- Agentic consultingHonest help with automation. What a trained agent can take off your hands, and what it cannot.
- Care & operationsAfter launch: updates, backups, monitoring, and a human who answers.
What agentic really means
Not a chatbot bolted to a sidebar. A trained agent with your documents behind it, guardrails around it, and a human gate on anything irreversible. If it cannot be measured, it does not ship.
How search fits in
Every site I build is written to be found and to be quoted: schema, clean markup, a machine-readable twin of every page, and a sitemap that tells the truth.
The lab
Frida and Pippin.
Client work funds the studio. The studio funds products. Two lines are in the lab now, named, as tradition requires, after the studio cats.
Fridalive
The lightning-fast CMS + CRM builder. Ferocious, independent, zero dependencies. Like her namesake, she hunts alone.
Pippinlive
The agentic harness builder. Sweet, nurturing, and quietly everywhere. Custom agent flows your team can actually trust.
Why name them after cats
Because a product that carries a name gets defended. Frida is black, ferocious and entirely independent, so she got the engine. Pippin is sweet and quietly everywhere, so she got the agents.
Built and running
Go and press the buttons.
None of this is a mockup. Every one of these is deployed, and most of them are load-bearing for the studio itself.
The chat lablive
Talk to the open models I build on. Switch between them mid-conversation.
Composerlive
Branded reels and posts, made fast. The studio's own social composer.
The scroll lablive
Seven scroll-scrubbed demos, from phone clips to WebGL.
Composer for iOSlab
The native app. On-device reels and posts, built for one thumb.
What it costs
