AI Forge
AI Forge, the written manual for building and shipping with agents
Starting a business has never been cheaper, or more open to anyone willing to try. Work that needed a team of ten now answers to one person who can utilize AI and construct agents that do the work humans used to be paid for.
It is early, the same kind of early as bitcoin in 2012 or a house in 2008: reckless at the time, obvious in hindsight. Running agents properly is still a niche skill, one that people are actively trying to learn, and most of what actually works has never been written down.
So I took the years I have spent building with these tools and put them into a room where everyone helps everyone else get to the same place: your own business, your own time, your own life. It costs less than a meal out, because charging more was never the point. Building the community is.
Knowledge shared is knowledge squared.
Stan Garfield, on why collaboration compounds
I am Saad. I recently turned 22, and graduated from USC with a degree in computer science and business administration. I interned in big tech, at Google and at Amazon twice, and got recruited into quant before deciding that optimizing somebody else's system was not the work I wanted. Since then I have built inside startups with real money behind them: Doublespeed, backed by a16z, and Clera, which raised a three million pre seed, plus a few others.
Since then the work has been almost entirely AI. I have built with it at a level most teams have not reached yet, and led engineers doing the same: designing the systems agents plug into, deciding what a model should never be trusted with, writing the evals that catch a regression before a customer finds it, and knowing which calls still have to be made by a person. That is a different discipline from writing code, and it is the one that decides whether any of it survives contact with production.
Right now I am building my own startup in stealth, and it is growing quickly. That is the validation behind everything in here. The workflow in these guides is the workflow paying my bills this month, not a theory I read somewhere, and every page is something I have run, broken, fixed, and run again.
