How We Work
AI Native
Forge is an AI-native shop. We use AI agents to develop content, images, video, applications, and process data analysis. We live and breathe these tools and have developed custom workflows to incorporate them into our everyday work.
Process Oriented
We use AI and 25 years of process experience to build solutions that work. We can quickly identify risk and iterate solutions to mitigate that risk, removing bias and helping you find the right way forward .
Pragmatic
While not a sexy word, it's one of our core values. Pragmatism means that we won't waste your money on overblown solutions. We'll instead work with you to find the smallest experiments we can run that validate our assumptions so we can learn quickly and make wise decisions..
