BotForge
Your bots, your keys, your PC.
BotForge is a Windows desktop app for building and running your own AI bots with your own API keys, or local models through Ollama or LM Studio. There's no BotForge account and no telemetry, and anything risky waits for your OK. The Windows download isn't out yet; the waitlist is open by email.

What it does
Runs on your PC
Bots run on your own Windows PC, not on our servers.
Your own API keys
Bring your own keys for the AI providers you choose. Keys are stored encrypted on your PC.
Local models
Use local AI models through Ollama or LM Studio and skip cloud keys entirely.
Approvals
Actions that send, spend, delete or change things wait for your approval.
BotForge runs on Windows 10/11 (x64). You pay your AI providers directly (or nothing, with local models). The download is coming soon.
