Forge

Forge is a powerful prompt builder tool designed to help developers transform their ideas into well-structured prompts for AI coding assistants like Cursor, Replit, and other AI coding agents. Whether you're a beginner trying to articulate your coding challenges or an experienced developer looking to optimize your AI interactions, Forge provides an intuitive interface to craft effective prompts.

Story Behind Forge

During one of our live sessions at the Programmify Internship Program (PIP4) on October 28th, 2025, mentor and AI engineer Vincent Agunda was delivering a presentation on Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI coding assistants. A student asked if there was a prompt builder that could help him turn his ideas into prompts which he could then paste for Cursor, Replit, or any AI coding agents. The program director took up the challenge to build it overnight. That's how Forge was born.
