About Forge
Forge is a private AI workspace for anyone whose data is too sensitive to hand to public AI: the businesses, professionals, and individuals whose information cannot afford to leak. Frontier AI, with your data staying yours. See the home page for how it works. This page is about why we build it, and who is behind it.
Why Forge exists
Forge exists because of one conviction, formed over decades inside real businesses: the barrier to AI has never been capability. It has been trust.
Businesses and professionals do not hold back from AI because it cannot do the work. They hold back because they cannot control it, verify it, or stand behind what it does. An answer on data that might leak, from a tool they do not govern, with no record of how it got there, is not something anyone handling sensitive information can put into production.
Forge is built to close that gap. That is why every answer is grounded in your own knowledge, your documents stay in your control, sensitive details are redacted before anything reaches a model, nothing you do trains a model, a human stays in control where it matters, and every step is logged. The point is not AI that is more powerful. It is AI you can put into production and stand behind.
Privacy here is not one need but several: in regulated sectors, data legally cannot leak; professionals and firms hold information their clients trusted them to protect; and pricing, plans, or strategy in the hands of a competitor is an existential threat. That is why Forge serves regulated firms, professional practices, businesses, and individuals alike.
That is what we mean by governed AI: accountable, auditable, and yours.
Who's behind Forge
Forge is built by GradTensor, founded by Prabhu Eshwarla. Prabhu spent three years as CTO of a European startup building a distributed privacy protocol, and has decades in enterprise technology including regulated industries such as banking and financial services.
