I’m Nate. I’ve been living in this stuff for three years: building products, helping businesses, and running my one-man shop with a crew of AI agents. Sometimes it’s amazing. Sometimes I want to quit before lunch. But I love creating things, so I work here anyway.
There’s no hype, no magic, no course to sell you. Just a guy in a shop with some really strange power tools.
Products
I build thingsForge is my main product — software that builds you your own tools. But the shop pushes out little machines, odd inventions, and new experiments all the time.

I help peopleSmall businesses, teams, one person with a weird problem. Big jobs, small jobs, and things nobody has a proper name for yet.
A small job? Just ask → AI enablement, inside your business → A custom build for your workplace → Forge for your whole organization →Open source
I show my workWhat I built, what I broke, what it cost me to fix, and the code behind it — all public, all free to take and use.
The archive → The map → The fixes → The free stuff →The report you assemble by a ritual nobody remembers inventing. The filing system that’s really one person remembering where everything is. The spreadsheet held together by spit and duct tape that everyone’s afraid to touch.
That’s the stuff I work on. I’ve spent three years building out this shop, and it’s full of machines that make tools. So tell me what keeps happening, and I’ll get it out of your life. Sometimes that’s a little machine I build just for you. Sometimes it’s something I’ve already built, and you can have it. Sometimes it’s me showing you how a subscription you already pay for can do the whole thing. And if it’s not my kind of job, I’ll say so honestly and point you at someone who’s better at it than I am.
Goes straight to my inbox. I read everything, and I answer for real.
One list, two voices: mine once a week, the bots’ every morning. Take either, or both.
