What is Forge Smart AI?
A Texas-based AI consulting shop for small businesses and trades. We build phone and chat assistants, workflow automation, and simple analytics so you take more jobs and spend less time on busywork.
Who do you work with?
Central Texas owners — plumbers, HVAC, contractors, salons, and local shops. Not enterprise accounts. If you run a crew or a storefront and your phone or back office is the bottleneck, you are the client.
How much does it cost?
The Quick AI Audit is $0. Full projects are typically $2,500–$9,000 one-time, plus $79–$199 a month if you want us to keep an eye on things. Custom quotes when the work is smaller or larger than that range.
Do I need tech skills?
No. We handle setup, training, and support. You tell us how the business actually runs. You do not need to learn a new platform or write a prompt library.
What happens on the free audit?
A 30-minute review of your current setup. You get a live walkthrough of one idea and a written roadmap of three practical projects with estimated cost. No obligation to buy.
Will this replace my people?
That is not the goal. The usual win is covering nights and weekends, cutting no-shows, and getting invoices out — so your people spend time on billed work, not voicemail and copy-paste.
How long until something is live?
The audit is one conversation. A first assistant or automation is often weeks, not quarters, once we agree on the scope. We will tell you the timeline before you spend a dollar on a build.
