AI built around a real job, not added as a label.
Our AI work focuses on useful, understandable tools: helping with a computer, developing a tabletop campaign,
or getting more from a card collection. Each assistant has a defined role,
clear user controls, and honest limits.
Purpose-built
Local-first where practical

AI Projects in Production
These are working systems under active production development. Availability is listed honestly for each project.
OTTO
Local-first Windows desk assistant
OTTO is being built to help everyday people understand, operate, and troubleshoot their technology.
Its working desktop foundation can explain computer, network, storage, startup, device, and Windows status
in plain language, then prepare a reviewable troubleshooting path.
Read-only diagnostics come first. Anything that would change settings, files, drivers, apps, or the system
must be presented as a clear plan and approved by the user. OTTO also supports local transcription of
user-selected audio and video files into text and VTT captions.

The Forged By Fire Approach
Focused by Design
Each assistant is built for a defined purpose and the real context of the product around it.
People Stay in Control
AI features are optional, consequential actions require review, and core app functions remain understandable.
Honest Boundaries
We state when a feature uses an online service, what context it processes, and what the assistant cannot replace.
AI Implemented Inside Our Apps
TreV and Coach are not demos or stand-alone chat boxes. They are implemented in the products where their context is useful.
TreV
Campaign companion in Master Generator
TreV helps game masters turn generated material into a connected campaign. It can suggest encounter ideas,
event hooks, campaign ties, expansion notes, and table direction using the result and campaign context the
user chooses to send. Core generators and campaign vaults remain local; TreV uses the Forged By Fire HTTPS
service only when the user asks for a response.
Tabletop campaigns
Context-aware
User-requested
Coach
Collection-aware guidance in Card Vault
Coach works with a user's Magic: The Gathering or Pokemon collection and decks. It combines structured deck
checks with AI guidance to review legality, surface useful synergies and combinations, suggest improvements,
recommend owned cards, and build decks around the selected format and goal. Coach runs through the Card Vault
service and uses only the relevant collection, deck, format, and request context sent for that analysis.
