AI decision-making
Think before building: how FORGE decides what is worth building
Before FORGE builds anything, one member of its family weighs the idea and decides what is worth building, and nothing moves forward until the plan makes sense. Weak spots and confident mistakes are caught before anyone builds on them, and features a small shop does not need on day one are cut. In the recorded run on this page, the first working screen was ready under three minutes after the idea went in. FORGE is licensed to companies by Fox & Santiago, on a 12-month term that starts with a 90-day pilot in one department.
A replay of one real run of our own system: the words and the times are real. The company it built for is fictional.
Where it lives
This is the first moment of every FORGE build: the moment a new idea goes in. Nobody has to watch it. A game plays over the wait, and the person who typed one paragraph lands on the first screen of their app. The demo replays one real run from October 17, 2026, with the real times.
Part of a family
FORGE works like a family where every member has a part in keeping the family safe. This member decides what is worth building. Others run the job and remember every decision, build the tool, keep the records honest, use the app like a real person and get problems fixed, guard the door, and keep the books. Founder Jason Samir Santiago tells the story in his interview on building FORGE, and the full platform is on the FORGE page.

How it works
One paragraph goes in
Someone describes what they need in plain words. In this run it was a dispatch board for a small HVAC and plumbing company. A game plays over the wait.
The idea is weighed before anything is built
One member of the FORGE family hears the idea and decides what is worth building. It looks at the idea from more than one side before a single screen exists.
Weak spots are caught early
Problems in the plan are found and named before anyone builds on them. In this run, a plan that broke a rule was caught and thrown out.
What survives becomes the plan
Claims that are not true get caught, and features a small shop does not need on day one get cut. What is left is one clear plan: twelve features, ready to build.
The first screen drops in
Under three minutes after the idea went in, a working first screen of the app is waiting, and FORGE's crew starts building out the rest behind it.
Who it is for
- Owners deciding where AI fits in their operation
- Teams that need answers they can trust, not one guess
- Anyone tired of AI that sounds sure and is wrong

Questions people ask
Why check an idea before building it?
Because the most expensive mistake is the one everything else gets built on. FORGE catches a confident wrong answer at the plan, where fixing it costs nothing, instead of after the tool is in your people's hands.
Can my company use FORGE?
Yes. Fox & Santiago licenses FORGE to companies on a 12-month term billed monthly. It starts with a 90-day pilot in one department at the regular monthly price, and at day 90 you roll into the 12-month license or walk away. Onboarding is included. Prices are at forge-dev.com/pricing.
Who owns FORGE?
Santiago Innovations owns both FORGE and Fox & Santiago. FORGE owns the FORGE platform, and Fox & Santiago licenses it to companies. Software Fox & Santiago builds for a client on commission belongs to that client under their agreement.
