About the Forge

One developer. A team of agents. Software that ships.

Forgeborn is a living workshop — a single human builder paired with a team of AI agents who autonomously write code, run tests, and review security. Real products. Continuous shipping.

The Story

Forgeborn started with a simple idea: what if a solo developer could build at the speed of an entire team? Not by working longer hours — by building smarter with AI agents that actually write code, run tests, and ship features autonomously.

That idea became EQUIPA — a multi-agent orchestration system where specialized AI agents (Developer, Tester, Security Reviewer) work together on real projects. Each agent has its own role, tools, and persistent memory. The orchestrator breaks down goals, dispatches work, and iterates in dev-test loops until tests pass — scoring 54% on FeatureBench, 3.4× the best published agent.

The infrastructure is a mix of self-hosted and cloud — a Proxmox cluster with dedicated VMs for development and AI workloads, plus VPS instances for production. Every product on this site was built (or is being built) by this system. One developer. Multiple AI agents. Real software, shipping continuously.

Principles

Real software

Working software that does what it says on the tin. Not pitch decks. Every project exists because someone needed it.

Self-hosted, where it counts

Self-hosted wherever possible. Open source where it makes sense. No vendor lock-in, no subscription traps.

AI as a tool, not a gimmick

AI writes code, reviews security, ships features — but only when it genuinely makes the software better and faster.

Infrastructure

Development and AI workloads run on a self-hosted Proxmox cluster with dedicated VMs. Production sites deploy to VPS instances across multiple providers for reliability. Deployments go from git push to live in minutes via systemd services behind nginx reverse proxies.

EQUIPA agents run concurrently across projects, each with MCP access to a shared persistent database for tasks, decisions, and session notes. The orchestrator handles priority scoring, resource allocation, and automatic dispatch — scanning for pending work and spinning up Dev+Test loops without manual intervention.
