Your own AI
Working for you every day, on your own work, on your own machine.
Private beta · by invitation
Be the person you know you need to be.
The Forge gives you your own AI, working for you every day on your own work and your own life. We push you with an idea every week. Your AI does the work. You drive. We never do it for you.
Your work, your clients and your ideas stay with you. Only a few set answers ever reach us.
It knows you
Each month it asks what it has got wrong about you, and gets sharper.
One idea a week
Matched to where you are, written to your AI, nudged until it is done.
Stays yours
Your work, clients and ideas stay between you and your own AI. They never come to us.
The time to try
Superintelligence is coming. Get your own AI working for you now, so you’re ready for it.
Things are moving fast. The people who learn to work with their own AI today are the ones who will be ready when it matters, and we need the people doing good in their towns, their businesses and their families to keep leading.
Where it takes you
Four steps up, and you keep the time.
-
1
Get on top of your work.
The email, the reports and the admin that eat your week, worked through with your own AI.
-
2
Know you can keep on top of it.
Your AI learns how you work, so it keeps up when life gets busy.
-
3
Then do more, and still have time for life.
The hours you win back go to the people and things that matter.
-
4
Take the ideas you haven’t started.
The ones still brewing, and the chances coming your way. You can take them.
What makes it different
Anyone can tell their AI to do more. Most people don’t.
Most people’s AI doesn’t really know them. It starts from scratch every time, it isn’t working at full speed for them, and nobody pushes them to do more with it. The Forge is the push, and the time saved.
It knows you
Your AI keeps its own notes on how you work, what you put off and where you stall. Each month it opens with “Here’s what I think I know about you. What’s wrong?” After six months it is the thing you won’t want to lose.
It works every day
It works with you on your own work, on your own machine. At the end of a session it shows you a short check-in and sends it on your yes. One real job done in the first sitting, so you feel it straight away.
It gets pushed every week
Each week one idea arrives, matched to where you are. Something your AI can take off your plate, or a next step on something you’ve been meaning to get to. You check in at the end of each day, and if nothing’s moving, we send you the smallest first step the next morning.
Watch it learn you
You correct it less every week.
Each week your AI counts the corrections you had to make, and whether you had to explain something it should already know. As it gets to know you, the corrections fall and more of what it writes goes out as written. When you do correct it, it offers to keep that as a rule.
Week 12. Day 90. Back to your starting point to see what moved, and your proof page.
An illustration of the pattern we look for. Yours comes from your own reports.
The weekly push
One idea. Every Monday.
Something your AI can take off your plate, written to your AI as a skill it applies to your own work, using what it knows about you. Every idea comes from our combined learnings across all our participants, our team and our research. On the expert-checked plan, every push is checked before it reaches you.
- Matched to where you are, not a generic tip
- Written so your AI can start on it straight away
- Pause, Restart or Stop by sending one word
What’s eating your time? Pick one and watch the push change.
This week
This week: pick the report that takes you longest and ask your AI how it would make it easier. It suggests, you choose what to try.
Stuck? Ask it for one idea you could try today. Friday, we’ll ask if it’s done.
An example. Yours is written for you.
You stay in control
Eight words run the whole thing.
No settings to hunt for and no app to learn. Send one word and the Forge answers, so you know it landed. Try them.
Paused
No push, no check-in and no nudge comes. Send Restart when you’re ready.
Running
Back on, whenever you are. The pushes and check-ins pick up again.
Stopped
It ends the Forge for you, and cancels your next invoice. The Forge is month to month.
More time
Ask before day 90 and you get a new last week. Day 90 is still measured on day 90, and your final week and your choice move to the new last week.
Your push
Finished this week’s push early? Set your own next one with your AI, then send My push. In month three, it is how every week works.
Staying on
Your choice at day 90. You keep your level and the weekly push.
Member
Your choice at day 90. You keep the weekly idea and the monthly update on what changed in AI, and your setup is kept current.
Noted
Willing to help teach others? Send Teach and your yes reaches the team. Nothing more is asked of you yet.
No calls to book. The Forge works without talking.
How it works
From first sitting to day 90.
-
1
Setup
Add the Forge to your own AI with one link. The first sitting has one aim: bring a real job and leave with it done. Then a short run of setup steps, each with a test for when it is done and something you keep.
-
2
Every day
Your AI works with you. At the end of each session it shows a short check-in. It goes to us on your yes the first time, then on its own, and your AI tells you what it sent. If you go quiet for two working days, we send a prompt.
-
3
Every week
Your AI sends a weekly update made of a few set answers. A push comes back, checked before it reaches you, written to your AI to apply to your own work.
-
4
Every month
What changed in AI, and what to switch on, drawn from our combined learnings across all our participants, our team and our research. Your AI offers to switch each thing on. Plus your private review of how you’ve changed, which stays with you.
-

Day 90
Back to where you started, to see the hours you saved. Then stay on, become a Member, or stop. Results show around three months in, and we say so up front.
Your starting point
How long do the jobs that eat your time take?
In week one you write down the hours a week your three biggest time-eaters take. That number is what day 90 is measured against. Try it now.
Nothing you type here leaves your browser.
Day 90
Your proof page, from your own reports.
In week one you write down how long the jobs that eat your time take. In the final week your AI takes you back to that starting point and builds you one page that shows what moved, with the working shown for every figure.
- Made from your own reports, nobody else’s numbers
- Yours to share with your board or your peers
- It never comes to us

Your privacy
Your work stays yours.
We give you ideas and things to look out for. We never do it for you, and we don’t want your private information. Only a few set answers come to us, and only after you say go.
Stays between you and your own AI
- Your work and your documents
- Your clients and other people’s names
- Your ideas
- Your rules, your memory and every copy of your updates
Reaches us
- A short end-of-day check-in
- A weekly update of set answers
- Which step of the course you’re on. Nothing of what you type
- One-word messages: Pause, Restart, Stop, More time, My push, Stay on, Member, Teach
- Your name, contact details and payments, for billing
Your answers have no name on them
The record of your answers is kept apart from who you are. A copy of it can’t tell anyone whose it is.
Anything else is your call
You can send something to the Forge team when you’re stuck. Your AI shows you exactly what will go, with other people’s names, clients and figures taken out, and sends it only on your yes. We use it to help you and delete it once we’ve answered.
Ideas, not professional advice
Everything we send is ideas. You decide what to do with them. You are driving this.
Why not just…
The push is the part nobody else gives you.

A general comparison of the kinds of help people use today, not of any one company.
Built the hard way
We ran it on ourselves first.
Sam goes first
The Forge is the way of working Sam runs on his own businesses, made so you can run it on yours. Every change runs on him before it reaches anyone else.
Tried with a real adviser
A regional business adviser ran the monthly review with their own AI. A clean one-page report came back, with no client details in it.
Pulled apart, then fixed
We ran the whole course on paper as two simulated twelve-week journeys, walked the legal side, and had it tested by someone else. It said not ready yet and showed us where it would leak. Those fixes are built in.
Who it’s for
People who want to have a crack at becoming who they can be.
The regional champion
You run a business and drive things in your town. The email, the reports, the admin and the town roles everyone hands you are eating your time. You want your own work under control, and time to keep building your town.
The solo entrepreneur
A one-person business wearing every hat, with no team, so everything waits on you. You want your AI working as your team, so you can grow without hiring.
The leader who wants their staff on it
A team version, with staff agreeing to what their boss sees, so your people get faster and more capable without a training course.
The young person
18 to 22, in a regional town, with big ideas and a start to make. Real skills, real work for real people.
Bring the Forge to your town.
A council, a chamber, a community or farming group can invite the Forge in to back its young people, its entrepreneurs or its farmers. Business coaches and consultants can add the human touch, while the system carries the rest.
Ways in
Pick how much push.
AI only
A new idea every Monday from our combined learnings across all our participants, our team and our research, matched to where you are and sent as written. The quickest way to start.
Expert checked
Every push is drafted for you and checked before it reaches you. The closest fit to your week.
Member
After your first three months, keep the weekly idea and the monthly update on what changed in AI, so you stay ahead of it.
The Forge is month to month. Cancel any time by sending Stop. You pay for your own Claude plan too, Pro or above, and our price doesn’t include it.
Questions
The short answers.
What do I need to start?
A computer and your own Claude plan, Pro or above. You pay for it too, and our price doesn’t include it. It is your AI and your work, so it stays yours. The Forge reaches you on Telegram, on your phone.
Can you see my work?
No. Only a few set answers come to us, and the set answers never carry your work, your clients, your ideas, your documents or anyone’s names. Anything else comes only when you choose to send it, after you’ve seen exactly what goes.
How long until I see a difference?
Your first sitting ends with one real job done. The hours back show around 90 days in. In your first week you write down how long the jobs that eat your time take, so day 90 can show the change.
Can I stop?
Any time. Send Stop and we don’t charge you again. It takes effect from the next payment.
Do I have to be on calls?
No. The Forge works without talking. Your idea reaches you on Telegram, on your phone, and your AI does the work with you.
How does my AI get to know me?
It keeps notes as small files on your own computer, one fact to a file, and reads them at the start of every session. When you correct it, it offers to keep that as a rule. Each month it opens with “Here’s what I think I know about you. What’s wrong?” so what’s stale gets cleared out.
Who checks the ideas?
On the expert-checked plan, every push is checked before it reaches you. If the check is delayed, the push comes late. It never comes unchecked.
What if I go quiet?
After two quiet working days we send you a prompt. If you are still quiet, someone from the team follows up. You can send Pause yourself any time.
What do I have at day 90?
Your rules, every report, your proof page, your own weekly check-in, and a system that carries on after the three months.
Is this professional advice?
No. Everything we send is ideas and things to look out for. You decide what to do with them.
Who is behind it?
The Forge is a MarwoodX program, built by Sam and Jared Marwood from the way of working they use on their own businesses.
Everyone who wants to have a crack at becoming who they can be, with their own AI. From regional towns to the world.
We do this because we live it and believe it. We want to free up people who want to have impact, live a better life and have more time for their family.
The Forge is in private beta.
We’re letting people in by invitation while we get it right. Tell us a little about you and we’ll be in touch when there’s a place.
