A different kind of AI company

We're building the future of AI—one thoughtful product at a time.

Who We Are

EngramForge is an AI research and product company building thoughtful software that makes technology more human.

Most AI companies optimize for engagement, growth, and data extraction. We optimize for helpfulness, simplicity, and trust.

Our first rule is "do no harm." Everything else follows from that.

We build consumer apps that respect your time, enterprise systems that reduce costs without cutting corners, and conduct research that advances AI for everyone.
