LightForge Works — AI · Advisory · Integration · Applications
One workflow at a time, running as software inside the Claude or ChatGPT you already pay for.
LightForge Works builds, hosts, and supports operating software for mid-market companies, sold through the advisors they already work with. It starts with a fixed-price Working Session that ends in a written verdict: build, buy, do it yourself, or no.
A simulation of the work processes we build. The figure runs itself. Click an item or a chip to drive.
1 · Intake: real work
click an item to steer the stream
2 · The decision
the odds shift as context changes
auto: the engine runs this
3 · Audit trail
every judgment logged
context: 0 decisions
the work sets the question · the chips decide what is allowed · the log decides what comes next
Simplified: the real thing weighs thousands of considerations, not four. It reads your contracts and history the same way at any size.
§2What you can check.
Real at a real company
At our first paying client, an order-cancellation and supplier-exception desk reconciled about $1M of purchase orders in its first month.

The app lives inside your own Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. Your admin provisions it like any other company tool. LightForge runs the backend behind it: the data store, the history, the sign-ons, the dashboards, the read-only connections to your ERP and files.
Governed, with a name on it
A read-only copy of the data until you say go. Every judgment call lands on an audit log your auditor can read. A named owner takes the 2 a.m. call.
§3How it runs.
The workflow lives inside the AI your team already uses: your Claude, your ChatGPT, your Gemini. Your admin provisions it like any other workspace tool, under your sign-on, your retention rules, your audit settings.
The chat was never enough on its own. It forgets your business between sessions, and no auditor can follow what it did. So behind it, LightForge runs the backend the chat can't be: the data store, the history, the sign-ons, the dashboards, and the read-only connections to your ERP and your files.
Your people ask for the work where they already work. Every judgment the app makes lands on an audit log your auditor can read.
§4What ships.
One workflow per app. The apps ship with the controls your IT team needs to govern them.
A Working Session ends in a written verdict: build, buy, do it yourself, or no.
monthly per app · billed from the day the build starts · 12-month minimum · audit log on · your data exports on exit
