Forge builds internal tools, AI agents, dashboards, automation, and bespoke web apps. Founder-led, shipped fast, your code stays yours.
If you have a process that does not fit a SaaS box, this is the work. We have shipped trading bots, multi-tenant voice platforms, deal aggregators, and site generators that ship HTML in 48 hours. Your build joins that lineage.
The tool your ops team has been begging for. Inventory views, dispatch boards, partner portals, lead routers, anything that replaces a spreadsheet stack.
AI agents that know your data. RAG over your docs, function-calling into your stack, voice or chat surface, scoped to your domain.
Zapier replacements when Zapier hits a wall. Scheduled jobs, webhook glue between systems that do not speak to each other, queue workers, retries that actually work.
Metered billing, multi-tenant subscriptions, partner revenue share, usage-based pricing, dunning flows, refund automation. The billing layer SaaS does not give you.
Pull from any public source on a schedule, normalize it, store it, surface it. Deal feeds, price tracking, public records, competitor monitoring, market data.
When the template route does not fit. Full custom UX, your auth, your data model, your deployment. Built on stacks we run in production today.
No vague "submit your requirements" forms, no off-shore handoffs, no missing weekly reviews. Every Forge custom build follows the same five stops.
One 45-minute call. We map the problem, the existing stack, and what success looks like. You walk away with a clearer picture even if you do not hire us.
A written scope of work with a fixed bid or a banded hourly estimate. Lists what is in, what is out, what assumptions we made, and where the risk sits.
You countersign the SOW, pay the discovery fee or the project deposit, and we put the build on the calendar. Repo and tracking access provisioned the same day.
Every week you get a working demo of what shipped, a Loom walkthrough, a list of what is next, and (if hourly) an invoice for the prior week's hours. No black box.
Source code, deploy keys, docs, runbooks, and the env file vault. Your code is yours. You can keep us on retainer or fly the system yourself the next day.
We are good at the boring, profitable software most teams need. We are not the right shop for any of these, and saying so up front saves us both a discovery call.
Different tooling, different talent pool, different physics engine. If your product idea lives on Unity or RealityKit, you want a games studio.
If the deliverable is C running on a microcontroller, a board bring-up, or low-level RTOS work, that is a hardware partner conversation, not a Forge one.
We can build to compliant patterns and document the controls. A fully audited SOC 2 Type II posture takes a dedicated compliance partner, and we will tell you that before you sign.
Some projects want a fixed bid. Some are too unknown for a fixed bid and want an hourly clock with weekly invoices. All of them start with the same scoping conversation.
One scoping call, a written scope of work, fixed bid or banded hourly estimate, and a candid call on whether Forge is the right shop. The $500 is credited back against the build if you sign the SOW.
Best for in-flight work, ongoing changes, or scopes too unknown to fix-bid. Time tracked in 15-minute blocks, week-billed in arrears with a Loom walkthrough of what shipped that week.
Typical small tool: $5,000 to $15,000. Mid-size build: $15,000 to $50,000. Large RFPs scoped per project. Milestone-billed against the SOW so you never pay ahead of the work shipped.
A sample of what we have shipped. Some are Forge-owned products, some are client work, all are real code running today. Client names are anonymized unless they have given us permission to share.
Live algorithmic grid bot trading BTC and ETH on Kraken. Auto-scales the grid by capital tier, persists state to JSON, post-only limit orders to stay on the maker fee schedule, structured logging, and a status dashboard that polls the Kraken API every few seconds.
Cross-exchange arbitrage scanner that ingests Alpaca and exchange feeds, detects spreads, scores opportunities through a frontier-model scoring layer, and emits structured signals to a dashboard.
Autonomous deal-finding platform live at stealsengine.com. Scrapers fan out across retailer feeds, an LLM scoring pass ranks deals by margin and relevance, and a custom front-end surfaces them with affiliate routing.
Multi-tenant voice platform serving multiple businesses on shared infrastructure: per-tenant agents, metered billing, kill-switch on balance, post-call usage webhooks, Stripe subscription and top-up flows, admin console.
End-to-end generator that takes a business name, industry, and brand inputs and ships a deployable HTML site in roughly 48 hours. AI image generation, copy generation, template selection, GBP wiring, and edge-fronted hosting.
Vertical voice agent that qualifies inbound rental inquiries against a configurable rule set, posts qualified leads to a dashboard, and routes the rest with a courteous decline. Built for a single operator and scoped per-tenant.
A few minutes of context up front saves us both a discovery call. We respond inside one business day. If you want to move faster, the demo line and direct email below are both monitored.
You walk us through the problem. We come back with a written scope, a fixed bid or banded hourly estimate, and an honest read on whether we are the right shop. If we are not, we will say so.
