Forge's core practice: bespoke AI agents and automation systems built for businesses that want a teammate, not a tool. Three engagement tiers, from productized starter agents to multi-agent enterprise operations. Adjacent practices in GEO, SEO, and Website Design — see below.
A teammate built for your exact problem — not a tool you have to babysit.
AI agents are software that can reason, plan, and act without you in the loop. We build them tuned to your business — trained on your data, connected to your tools, scoped to a real job. The output isn't 'AI features' bolted onto your stack; it's an autonomous operator that handles a function so your team can stop handling it.
What's included
Sales research and outreach agents
Customer support and escalation agents
Internal knowledge and Q&A agents
Competitive intelligence agents
Proposal and contract generation agents
Outcome
Less 'you using AI' and more 'AI doing the work.' Most clients replace 1–2 hires of overhead within 90 days.

AI Automation
Eliminate the work that shouldn't need humans.
We identify the highest-cost manual processes in your operation and replace them with intelligent, self-running systems. From data entry and document processing to email triage and reporting — if it's repetitive, we automate it.
What's included
Document & data extraction pipelines
Intelligent email and inbox management
Automated reporting and dashboards
CRM data hygiene and enrichment
Multi-step approval and routing workflows
Outcome
Clients typically reclaim 20–40 hours per week per team within the first month.

Custom Workflows
Your stack, wired together the right way.
Every business has a unique tech stack and a unique set of bottlenecks. We design and build end-to-end workflow systems that connect your existing tools — CRM, ERP, project management, communication platforms — into a single, automated operating layer.
What's included
Cross-platform tool integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce, Notion, Slack, and more)
Trigger-based automation chains
Custom webhooks and API connectors
Lead routing and qualification pipelines
Client onboarding and fulfillment flows
Outcome
Clean handoffs, reliable signal, no work lost in the gaps between tools.
Investment
Three engagement tiers. Pick the altitude.
We engage at three altitudes — from a productized starter agent that ships in two weeks, to multi-agent enterprise systems that take six months. The right tier depends on whether you want a tool, a teammate, or an operations layer.
Starter Agent
One agent. One job. Live in two weeks.
$1,500 – $3,500
One-time · optional $250 / mo monitoring (not required)
Best forSmall businesses or teams testing a specific agent use case before committing to deeper work.
OutcomeA fully deployed agent for a single use case — lead qualifier, intake bot, FAQ assistant, support triage, internal Q&A. Productized scope, fixed price, fast turnaround.
Single agent, single integration, single workflow. For multi-step workflows or deep integrations, see Bespoke Workflow.
What's included
One agent built to a defined scope
Single integration (CRM, helpdesk, chat platform, or internal tool)
Hosting, deployment, and 30-day stabilization window
Documentation handoff
Optional $250/mo monitoring + tweaks (not required to operate)
Best forSMBs replacing a function or augmenting a team — RevOps, customer success, support, sales research, content production.
OutcomeMulti-step agent connected to your full stack, trained on your business context, with continuous tuning and oversight. Functions like a junior hire that doesn't take PTO.
Build is scoped against actual hours; we quote within a band after a 30-min discovery call.
What's included
One multi-step workflow agent with up to 5 integrations
Trained on company-specific data and context
Deployment + 60 days of stabilization included in the build
+ $5,000 – $15,000 / mo retainer · 6-month minimum
Best forCompanies treating AI as core operations infrastructure, not as a feature.
OutcomeMultiple connected agents covering an entire operations function — sales research, customer success, content engine, internal Q&A. The AI layer of your business.
Project-managed sprints, weekly checkpoints, hands-on engagement throughout. Quoted per engagement.
What's included
3–8 connected agents covering a full operations function
Tier 2 and Tier 3 are quoted after a free 30-minute discovery call. Tier 1 is fixed-price productized scope. Setup invoiced at signature, due net 15. Monthly retainers invoiced on the 1st, due net 15.
Tier line is drawn at scope, not dollars. Tier 2 = ONE workflow agent. Tier 3 = MULTIPLE connected agents covering a function.
Adjacent practices
We also run three adjacent practices.
Most clients start with the AI agent practice and ladder into one or more of these. Same operator, same engineering brain — different surface.
