Forge

Turn an enterprise product idea into a source-backed 3D prototype dossier stakeholders can inspect, assign, and export.

What It Does

Forge takes a company, product idea, audience, product format, constraints, and optional supporting documents. It then:

  • Reads uploaded documents and images in the browser.
  • Generates missing enterprise strategy documents when the user starts with little context.
  • Synthesizes brand fit, PRD framing, risks, role assignments, and validation plans.
  • Generates separate product visuals for sketch, hero render, catalog front, three-quarter view, feature detail, and promo background.
  • Produces an interactive 3D prototype in the browser and loads hosted GLB models when Fal returns them.
  • Creates dispatchable stakeholder role assignments.
  • Exports a shareable PDF dossier.
  • Shows sponsor/provider attribution beside the artifacts and integration results.

How I Built It

Forge is a Next.js app with server routes for sponsor integrations and a client-side Apple-inspired workflow. The core UX is split into six steps: Brief, Sources, Build, Studio, Dossier, and Export.

The app uses Fal FLUX Schnell for fast product images, Fal 3D endpoints for hosted GLB generation, Three.js for the instant interactive model, Cloudinary for media storage, Backboard for strategy reasoning, Composio for Drive handoff, Pingram for stakeholder messaging, Polarity for quality evidence, Cystack for security evidence, and jsPDF for local dossier export.

Sponsor Usage

Sponsor Use in Forge
Composio Drive handoff workflow for the generated dossier and product tasks.
Backboard Agent reasoning for strategy, PRD, risks, and stakeholder maps.
Pingram Stakeholder notification and role assignment dispatch.
Polarity Quality evidence panel and external quality endpoint check.
Cloudinary Media management for generated product renders and handoff assets.

Note integration for CYstack is half baked, so I count this as 50/50.

Main Track Fit

Primary tracks: Aucctus AI Track.

Forge matches the track directly: an innovation manager inputs a company, a product idea, and supporting documents; the system researches and maps the brand context, generates product visuals, creates an interactive 3D prototype, and produces a stakeholder-ready dossier.

Also

  • Cloudinary Track: generated visuals are uploaded and linked through Cloudinary.
  • Polarity Track: Forge uses Polarity/Keystone quality evidence and has a clean typed build.
  • Composio Track: Forge incorporates Composio for the handoff workflow; connect Google Drive for the strongest live proof.

Challenges

The hardest part was making the pitch feel real without stale mock content. The image pipeline had to generate independent views instead of reusing one render. The 3D path also needed both a hosted generation path and a convincing immediate fallback so the demo never stalls on a long 3D job.

Accomplishments

  • Built a clean six-step workflow for a three-minute product innovation demo.
  • Added visible source documents and generated documents.
  • Created independent image generation per artifact.
  • Added hosted 3D model loading plus a real Three.js fallback model.
  • Added role assignment dispatch.
  • Added local PDF dossier output.
  • Preserved sponsor integration evidence without exposing secrets in browser code.
