FORGE WORKFORCE ยท $497/MO + $2.5K SETUP ยท BY APPLICATION

Hire an AI workforce. Delegate the work you keep meaning to get to.

An autonomous AI team โ€” a CEO agent and specialized employees โ€” that runs ongoing work on your behalf. Built on Forge HQ. Configured to your business during a 90-minute deep-dive.

An AI team you direct, not a tool you use

Forge Workforce is not a chatbot, not a copilot, not automation. It's closer to hiring a small team โ€” except the team is AI agents running on your infrastructure with your API keys.

You're the board of directors. The CEO agent is your direct report. The CEO delegates to specialized agents (writer, researcher, QA, account manager โ€” depending on your template). The agents produce work. You review, redirect, and ship.

Autonomy level: agents work continuously on a configurable heartbeat (every 10 minutes, every hour, whatever you set). They check what's in the pipeline, pick up tasks, do them, hand them back for review.

Your job: define goals, review output, redirect when needed, approve the work before it goes live.

This is not set-and-forget. It's delegation with AI.

Who Forge Workforce is for โ€” and who it isn't

Good fit

  • โœ“ Functioning business with real clients/revenue
  • โœ“ Repeatable work above VA skill but below your pay grade
  • โœ“ Comfortable with AI tools (Claude, Cursor, etc.)
  • โœ“ OK spending $100โ€“500/mo at your AI provider
  • โœ“ Understands this is delegation, not magic
  • โœ“ Willing to review + redirect agent output

Not a fit

  • โœ— Pre-revenue or pre-business
  • โœ— Wants turnkey "AI runs my business without me"
  • โœ— Never used AI tools; Workforce as first foray
  • โœ— Expects perfect output without iteration
  • โœ— Not ready to spend at an AI provider
  • โœ— No concrete tasks to delegate

If you're a "not a fit" โ€” Forge HQ at $157 is usually the right answer. It's $4โ€“5K cheaper over the first year and teaches you the foundations.

From application to running agents

1

Apply

Short form: what's your business, what do you want agents to do, do you have AI experience, do you have an AI provider account. Takes 5โ€“10 minutes.

2

Rich reviews

Within 2 business days. If Workforce isn't a fit, Rich sends a decline with honest reasoning and alternatives (usually Forge HQ).

3

45-minute discovery call with Rich

If the application fits, Rich runs a discovery call โ€” going deeper into the business, the goals, and the agent tasks. Fit assessment, not a sales pitch.

4

You purchase + onboarding begins

$2,500 setup + $497/mo (or $4,970/yr). Within 5 business days, Rich runs a 90-minute deep-dive customizing the template, tuning the CEO persona, wiring API keys, and building your first-week task list.

5

You run your agent team

Agents begin work. You review daily (initially) and weekly (eventually). First 30 days include direct Rich access. Monthly strategic check-ins after that.

Bring your own API keys

Forge Workforce runs on AI models โ€” Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, whatever you pick. You provide the API key at your provider. You set the spending cap at their dashboard.

Typical monthly AI compute for Forge Workforce: $100โ€“500 depending on how heavily your agents are running. Configure fewer agents, less frequent heartbeats, or cheaper models to keep it low. Go hard by setting a higher cap.

We never see or pay for your AI compute. The subscription is $497 regardless; the AI spend is separate and yours.

This isn't a trap โ€” it's a feature. You're never waiting for us to raise a limit, and we're not incentivized to cheap out on the models we use.

Being honest about limits

Common questions

What if my CEO agent makes a wrong decision?

You review output before it ships. Agents don't send emails or post to public channels without your approval, unless you configure that explicitly (strongly not recommended in the first 30 days).

How much time do I spend running this?

30 minutes a day in the first two weeks (reviewing output, giving feedback). Dropping to 15 minutes after month one. A few hours a week steady-state.

Can I add more agents beyond the template?

Yes โ€” templates are starting points. You can add, remove, or modify agents at any time. Major changes to the agent team structure are free; just ask.

What does cancellation look like?

Cancel anytime through the portal. Your agents are disabled at the end of the billing period; your Forge HQ access continues. Setup fees aren't refundable after work begins.

Can I pause agents without cancelling?

Yes โ€” emergency stop halts all agents immediately, subscription continues. Resume anytime. Useful when you're traveling or stepping away.

What if I hate it?

7-day money-back on subscription. Setup fee refundable if no setup work has begun. If we've already done the 90-min deep-dive, setup isn't refundable โ€” but most customers who dislike Workforce end up downgrading to Forge HQ, which keeps their investment largely intact.

Ready to apply?

Book a discovery call with Rich. We'll talk through your business, your goals, and the work you want agents to handle. If Workforce is a fit, you'll get the enrollment link the same day. If it's not, Rich will tell you honestly and point you to the right tier.

Workforce has an application gate because the tier isn't right for everyone. Most applicants end up on Forge HQ. That's how we keep Workforce customers successful โ€” by only activating it for operators who can actually direct an AI team. Not ready for a call? Start with Forge HQ โ†’
