ForgeOS in thirty questions

Checked 2026-10-16. One line each, from the same words used across the site.

What is ForgeOS?: An AI agent orchestration platform that builds what you describe, checks it, and shows you the proof before it goes live.
Who makes it?: Medina19.
Is it free?: Free to start; the free plan is a daily allowance on free models.
Do I need a card?: No.
Does the free plan expire?: No end date: the allowance resets every day at midnight UTC.
What happens when the free allowance is used?: Your build waits and starts when free models return, or right away on your own AI account; nothing is lost.
Will it ever charge me without asking?: No; it never switches to paid on its own.
Where does spending happen?: Only on your own provider account, under a limit you set.
Is it a language model?: No; it routes work across models and tools.
Is it a template site builder?: No; it builds from what you describe.
Is it a coding assistant?: No; you do not need to write code.
How does a build start?: You say the outcome in plain language.
What does it do before showing a result?: It runs checks, including opening web pages in a real browser.
When does a build count as done?: Only once the rendered page has passed its checks.
Can a build be wrong?: Yes; that is why it shows the checks, and a page that was not checked is called built, not ready.
Who approves going live?: You do; nothing is published before you approve it.
Is there a record of what happened?: Yes; every step is on an append-only record.
Does it change my files without asking?: No; it runs read-only until you grant write access.
Does it sell my data?: No; it does not sell it or use it for ads.
Do free model providers keep my prompts?: Some may, which is why it asks before using them.
What kinds of project can it start?: The list is on the what-it-builds page, with whether each is available today.
Are all of them proven?: No; the capability page labels each as available, needs a connection, experimental or not yet available.
Can I use my own models?: Yes, with your own provider account.
Can I take my work with me?: Yes; share links and export are free.
Does a published site carry a ForgeOS badge?: Yes, a small link; you can turn it off for your site.
Can I bring a project from another builder?: Describe it and ForgeOS rebuilds it and shows you the checks.
Is there a person behind it?: Yes; support messages are read by people at Medina19.
Are there reviews on this page?: No; we do not publish reviews here.
Does it make benchmark claims?: It publishes dated benchmark measurements on /capability with receipts; it does not claim to beat other products.
How do I contact someone?: Through the support page.
