Your tools get the job done.
Ours handle the desk work.

Forged Engine sets up AI voice and text agents that answer your phone, book your jobs, and handle the follow-up — so you can get back to the work you actually signed up for.

Sound familiar?

If more than two of these describe your week, we should probably talk.

The phone rings while you're under a truck

Hands full, grease everywhere. They don't leave a voicemail. They call the next shop on the list.

The fix

Your agent answers on the second ring, works out what they need, books the job, and texts you the summary. You never put the wrench down.

Quotes go out at 9pm

Ten hour day, then the laptop opens at the kitchen table. Somebody asks why you're still working.

The fix

Estimates go out the moment the job's logged — while you're driving home, not after dinner.

You forgot to ask for the review

You did great work. They meant to leave one. Nobody followed up. The shop with 200 reviews got the next call.

The fix

Every finished job gets a text with a direct review link. No awkward ask, nothing to remember.

Half the day is scheduling

Back and forth texts. Last-minute reschedules. A no-show that killed the whole morning.

The fix

Customers confirm, move, or cancel by text. You look at the calendar once and it's the truth.

You're paying for leads you never answer

Ads are running. The phone rings. You're on a roof. Money spent, lead gone to whoever picked up.

The fix

Every lead your ads bring in gets answered — including 9pm on a Sunday, when your competition is closed.

The office job you never wanted

You got into this to build things and fix things. Not to sit at a desk answering phones and chasing paperwork.

The fix

That's the whole point. We take the desk. You keep the craft.

See it live

Don't take our word for it. Watch it work.

Forged Engine Auto is a working shop we built and run on our own system. Not a slideshow, not a mockup — a working business handling a customer, start to finish. Watch two minutes of it.

A real phone call
Customer books a brake job — 1:40
A real text conversation
Reminder, reschedule, confirmation — 1:15

Then take it for a drive yourself.

  • What do you charge for brakes?
  • Can I get in Thursday morning?
  • Do you work on diesels?
  • Then text C to cancel it right back.

Most people have never talked to an AI agent and don't know where to start. Those four will show you everything.

What we build

Start with whatever's costing you the most. Add the rest when it's earned its keep.

The voice agent

Answers every call, day or night. Works out what the customer needs, quotes what you told it to quote, and books the job straight onto your calendar. It sounds like a person, because it should.

The text agent

Confirms appointments. Sends reminders. Handles reschedules and cancellations without a single call. Answers the same four questions you get asked forty times a week.

The back office

Estimates, review requests, follow-ups, and the nudges that turn a maybe into a booked job. Running quietly in the background whether you think about it or not.

Grows with you. Website chatbot, review automation, online booking, estimate follow-up — we start where it hurts most and add the rest when you're ready for it. You're never paying for something you're not using. See what each piece does →
The math

What missed calls are actually costing you.

Most people who call a trade business don’t leave a voicemail. They hang up and call the next name on the list. Put your own numbers in and see it.

How it works

Three steps. You do almost none of the work — that's the point.

01

We talk

Twenty minutes. What you do, how your phone works now, where your time actually goes. No pitch deck, no jargon, no pressure.

02

We build it around your shop

Your services, your prices, your hours, the way you talk to your customers. You hear it and approve it before a single customer ever does.

03

We run it

We monitor it, tune it, and fix it. You're not learning software and you're not managing anything. That's our job, not yours.

The whole thing written out, including what we need from you: how it works →

I've been on the other side of this phone.

Eighteen years in and around the trades. Hiring contractors, running crews, general contracting projects — and doing plenty of the work myself. Electrical. Plumbing. Framing. Auto.

So I know what it looks like when the phone rings and both your hands are busy. I know what it's like to finish a ten-hour day and then sit down to write estimates. I know the job you signed up for, and the one that quietly ate your evenings.

That's the job Forged Engine takes off your plate. Most companies selling AI to trade businesses have never held the tools — they'll sell you software and leave you to figure it out. We set it up, we run it, and we'll show you it working on a real business before you spend a dollar.

Because success shouldn't only mean more money. It should mean more life.

You don't need to understand AI

You won't touch a dashboard unless you want to. We handle every bit of the technical side.

Your customers get a professional

Not a phone tree, not a robot reading a script. If it can't help, it hands off to you cleanly.

Nobody loses their job

This takes the work nobody wanted in the first place. Your people get to do the work that matters.

No long contracts

If it isn't making you money, you shouldn't be paying for it. We'd rather earn it every month.

Ready to get your evenings back?

Twenty minutes, a real conversation about your shop, and no pressure either way.
