A Team of Specialists

Agentic Software
Engineering

A software project needs specialists, not one generalist guessing at every role. Forge assembles the right agents and keeps them working from the same context, so their output stays consistent with each other and with your codebase. Human reviewers retain visibility and can approve, redirect or reject work at defined critical checkpoints.

How a Forge Project Runs

How It Works

Forge team view with specialist agents working in one shared project

Spin up the agents your project needs, for example architecture, implementation, testing and documentation, inside one shared project.

Agents work from the same project context, according to their assigned permissions, so outputs stay consistent across the team.

Human reviewers approve, redirect or reject agent output at defined checkpoints, including relevant merge and release steps.

Changes trace back to the agent that made them and the human who approved them. Connect to AI Studio to carry that traceability into production.

Control with Specialists

Key Capabilities

01

Specialist Agents for
Every Engineering Role

Dedicated agents for the different roles in a software project, not a single do-everything assistant.

02

Human-in-the-Loop Control

Human approval can be enforced at configured critical actions, including relevant merge and release checkpoints.

03

Auditable Output

Every change traces back to the agent that made it, the checkpoint it passed, and the human who approved it.

04

Shared Project Context

Specialist agents access a shared project context according to their assigned permissions.

05

Full SDLC Coverage

Supports work across the whole software development lifecycle, not just code generation.

06

Integrates with AI Studio

Works standalone, or connects to AI Studio to inherit shared governance, access control and production traceability.

07

Structured Skills

Structured skills guide agents to follow your organisation’s engineering methods and standards.

Governance and trust

Whether Deployed Standalone or
Integrated with AI Studio, Governance
Controls Support Secure and Accountable Operations.

Forge works standalone with its own governance, or connects to AI Studio to inherit the platform’s access controls, approval workflows and production traceability. Either way, human approval can be enforced at configured critical actions, including relevant merge and release checkpoints.
