SysForge
Systems building systems Grand Rapids, Michigan Forged, never generated

Forged, not generated.Automation with the hammer marks left in, as proof.

SysForge builds business software out of ready-made parts. You say what you need in plain words, AI puts it together from about sixty parts that already work, and a person signs off before anything runs. Every part was struck until it held its shape.

Anyone can pour molten AI into a mold and call it a product. We prefer to work the metal.

Small businesses run on duct tape: a dozen apps that do not talk to each other, and a spreadsheet everyone pretends isn’t load-bearing. Big companies hire teams to make software fit. Everyone else makes do. We start with how your work actually gets done today, build the smallest thing that helps, and harden it from there.

The shop floor

Ready-made parts that bolt together for each job, like building blocks with the same connector on every block. Sending texts, reading documents, taking payments, keeping files, talking to AI: each is a part that already works and explains itself, so anything else on the platform can use it.

These are the ones that see the most heat. Each plate is load-rated.

Finance

Financial workflows

Categorization, bill entry and reconciliation across many sets of books, wired into the accounting and banking systems you already run.

Tolerance: one penny.

Geo

Districts Engine

Geographic mapping that turns addresses and boundaries into districts you can actually use.

Tolerance: precinct-level.

Radio

Coverage mapping

Radio coverage analysis built on FCC data, so the map shows where the signal really reaches.

Calibrated to FCC data, not vibes.

Intel

OSINT workflows

Open-source intelligence work, gathered and organized into something a person can read in one sitting.

Open sources only. Closed mouths.

Docs

Document generation

Forms and documents filled from structured data, correctly, the first time.

Fills forms so nobody else has to.

Models

Model orchestration

One service in front of several AI providers, routing each job to the model that does it best.

Uses several models. Trusts none of them.

Watch a job come together

Describe the job the way you would to a new hire. SysForge drafts a plan from parts that exist and are running right now, and checks every piece fits before you see it. Nothing runs until a person says yes.

“Remind hotel guests the day before they arrive.”

    An illustration of how a plan comes together, simplified for this page. The parts are real.

    How a job runs

    Five steps, always in this order. Skipping to step four is how most AI projects end up as a demo nobody uses.

    1. 1SurveyWe ask the annoying questions first. Volumes, vendors, exceptions, and the pain points nobody wrote down.
    2. 2HeatGather real data with as little friction as possible. No six-week discovery theater.
    3. 3HammerAssemble the job from parts on the shop floor, plugged into the systems you already use.
    4. 4TemperTurn automation up gradually, as the system earns confidence on your real cases.
    5. 5InspectWatch it run. Every run leaves a receipt. Anything uncertain goes to a person, not into the void.

    The tempering chart

    Smiths read the color of steel to know how hard it has become. We read confidence the same way, and only turn the heat up when the system has earned it.

    1. Pale straw400°FSuggestThe system proposes. A person decides every time.
    2. Dark straw440°FDraftThe system does the work and a person signs off before anything is sent.
    3. Bronze500°FAct, with reviewRoutine cases go through on their own. A person reviews them in batches.
    4. Purple530°FAct, and reportConfident cases run unattended. Anything uncertain is escalated to a person.
    5. Blue570°FHold to specFully automated, with the escalation path still wired in for the odd case.

    The colors and temperatures are the traditional tempering chart for carbon steel. The automation levels are ours. Most systems spend a good while in straw before anyone mentions blue.

    Hallmarks

    A hallmark is the stamp that proves what the metal is. These are ours, counted from the code itself on 2 October 2026. Not a slide deck. It is running.

    Four very different businesses, one set of parts. That is the point: the next industry starts with most of the work already done.

    Integrations performed

    The tools a business already runs on, connected and talking both ways. More than thirty platforms so far, each one wired in for a real job, not a demo.

    One connection serves many accounts: six merchants on one point-of-sale link, seven locations on one scheduling link, eight email lists on one marketing link. Build once, use everywhere.

    Payments

    Taking money

    Stripe, Square, Clover and Shopify: card payments, the till and the online store, in one place.

    Sandbox first. Then the till.

    Books

    Books and banking

    QuickBooks Online and a commercial bank’s own connection, so the money and the books agree without anyone retyping.

    A test login before the live one.

    Hospitality

    Hotels and restaurants

    WebRezPro and Cloudbeds for rooms, Homebase for staff schedules, OpenTable and Cojilio for bookings.

    Knows who is arriving tomorrow.

    Marketing

    Email and social

    Iterable for email, BriteVerify to check an address is real first, Vista Social and Meta for social, Front and Gmail for the inbox.

    Every reply comes back in, signed.

    Elections

    Campaigns

    A voter data platform, an ad spending tracker and an online fundraising platform, feeding one picture of the race.

    One picture, not five tabs.

    Data

    Where the data lives

    Snowflake, AWS, Azure SQL, Airtable and Google Sheets, including the spreadsheet everyone pretends isn’t load-bearing.

    Reads it where it sits.

    Paperwork

    Documents and forms

    BoldSign for signatures, Typeform and surveys for the questions, each answer landing where the work happens.

    Signed, sealed, filed.

    AI

    Models

    Anthropic’s Claude and Mistral AI, alongside models that run on our own hardware.

    The right model for each job.

    Code & media

    Code, maps and video

    GitHub for every release, YouTube Live for streaming, Mapillary for street imagery, WordPress for publishing.

    Ships on a signed push.

    Counted from the platform’s own settings on 15 October 2026: each platform named here is set up in a service that uses it. Company names are trademarks of their owners, and naming them means we connect to them, not that they endorse us.

    The front of the house

    Everything above happens in the back. TinyKit is the part a person holds: the app on their phone, the sign-in, the screen that has to make sense at a glance. Every app we build starts from it, so each new one opens with the hard parts already done.

    Eight apps run on it today, counted 15 October 2026. A fix made once reaches all of them. Same anvil, many horseshoes.

    Sign-in

    One account, every app

    One account opens every app we make, signed in with a passkey on the phone. Nothing to remember, nothing to reset.

    No passwords to leak.

    Files

    Your files, everywhere

    What a person keeps in an app is on their phone and in their account, so every device they sign in on has it.

    Changed on two phones? Both are kept.

    Offline

    Installs, and keeps working

    It goes on the home screen like any app and opens without a signal, then catches up when it has one.

    Works in a basement.

    Readable

    Built to be read

    Large type and high contrast on purpose, every color scheme checked before anyone can use it.

    Never shrinks to fit.

    Sharing

    Hand it over

    The phone’s own share menu, a link, or a code to scan from across the table. Files shared in land where they belong.

    One tap, either direction.

    Home

    Kept on our hardware

    Accounts and files live on machines we own and run, next to everything else, not in someone else’s cloud.

    Your data stays home.

    SysForge is the platform as a whole: the parts and connections in the back, TinyKit in front. The apps above are our own; customer apps on it are not shown.

    On the anvil

    Proven in the field. Now making it general, so a new industry plugs in without inheriting anyone else’s details.

    1. DoneBuilt it the hard wayThe platform grew while doing real jobs for real organizations, not in a lab.
    2. DoneDrew the lineEvery one of the 171 projects sorted into two piles: the general platform, and the industry-specific work built on top of it.
    3. NowSeparate the platformLift the general parts out cleanly, so they can be reused anywhere.
    4. NextThe next industriesSmall businesses that run on duct tape today: trades, farms, local services. Same parts, new jobs.

    The smiths

    Three people, one forge, a firm policy against calling anyone a ninja.

    Spicy

    Architecture & machine learning

    Swings the hammer.

    MrGreen

    Strategy & front of house

    Talks to customers so the hammer doesn’t have to.

    Zenk

    CFO, accounting & domain logic

    Counts the anvils. Twice.

    The SysForge warranty

    If any system we build ever replies with “As an AI language model,” we will take it back to the forge and re-strike it at no charge. To date, no claims. One close call.

    The fine print, which is real

    • Build once, use everywhere.A part built for one customer is ready for the next. People, AI assistants and automations all use the same parts, the same way.
    • AI that cannot make things up.Plans are checked against what is actually running. If a part does not exist, the plan does not pass.
    • A person always says yes.Nothing runs without approval, and every run leaves a receipt you can read later.
    • Your data stays home.It runs on hardware we own and operate, not rented cloud. Costs are predictable and customer data does not wander.

    For early investors

    Pull up a stool.

    We are speaking with a small first group of investors. If software built from parts makes sense to you, we would like to show you the real thing, sparks and all.
