What Forge builds under the AI automations umbrella

Six directions worth exploring.

AI voice agents

Forge Voice: a 24/7 AI receptionist that answers, qualifies, and books calls into ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber. See Forge Voice →

RAG chatbots

Custom chatbots trained on your PDFs, help docs, and knowledge base. Deployed on your website, Slack, or WhatsApp. Answers with citations, hands off to humans when uncertain.

Workflow automations

Autonomous workflows that watch email, CRM, or webhook signals and take action: draft replies, tag records, trigger downstream systems, escalate high-value opportunities to humans.

Content generation pipelines

Automated blog posts, product descriptions, email cadences, social media captions — generated from your brand voice, human-approved before publish.

AI-powered lead capture

Smart forms that pre-fill from web enrichment, chatbots that qualify leads and book calls, missed-call SMS follow-ups. Turns web visits into booked conversations.

Custom AI features

Anything specific to your business: automated document review, image classification, video summarization, sentiment analysis on support tickets. Scoped free during discovery.

FAQ

Common AI automations questions.

What are AI automations, exactly?
Any business process where AI does work a human used to do: answering calls, drafting emails, qualifying leads, tagging records, summarizing meetings, generating content. Modern LLMs and voice AI make these projects cost 10-100x less than they did in 2020.
How much do AI automations cost to build?
Small automations (a single workflow, integrated with 1-2 systems) start around $3,500 fixed-scope. Medium projects (multi-step workflows, several integrations, deployed dashboard) run $8,000 to $25,000. Large systems get scoped individually. Ongoing costs are usually $50 to $500/mo depending on volume.
Which LLM does Forge use?
We are model-agnostic. Voice agents use Claude Haiku 4.5 (fast, high-quality, cost-effective). Custom builds pick the model that fits: Claude Opus for complex reasoning, GPT-4 for specific tasks, open-source models when data must stay local. We help you make the right choice on the discovery call.
Will an AI automation replace my team?
Not typically. In practice, AI automations extend what your team can handle: your existing staff processes 3x more without burnout. Fewer late nights. Faster response to customers. The businesses that go pure-AI on jobs that used to require a human are the exception, not the rule.
