Open an app and it gets its own workspace: the conversation on the left, the real running app on the right. Nothing to install, no environment to set up — the machine that builds your app starts the moment you open it.
You can switch the right-hand side from the live app to the code at any time, edit a file directly, and watch the preview update.
There is no database to provision, sign-in system to assemble, server to maintain or deployment pipeline to wire together. Your app starts on the secure identity, data, hosting and services already provided by SmartLinks.
Forge can still build server-side workflows and connect to outside systems. Their credentials stay sealed away from the app, and SmartLinks runs the resulting work for you.
The agent starts every app with the SmartLinks platform already understood: identities for physical things, who owns them, the data attached to them, the permanent record of what happened, sign-in, forms, messaging, loyalty, analytics, numbering, and the built-in AI toolset.
That means it leads with a solution rather than reading its way around. It won't rebuild something the platform already provides, and it won't invent a capability that doesn't exist.
Need another system in the loop? It can write server-side code that talks to your ERP, CRM or anything else with an API, with the credentials held in a sealed store rather than in the app.
Choose one of your own collections and item types, and the preview runs against the real thing. What you see is what a customer or an operator will see.
An app doesn't live in one place. Forge lets you load each view the way it actually runs — including the operator setup screen inside the genuine signed-in SmartLinks console, so sign-in, navigation and theming behave exactly as they will in production.
Every change is saved automatically as you go, so you can look back through what happened and restore any earlier point — no version-control knowledge required.
When you're happy, send a test version to a real SmartLinks account, check it in context, and publish the finished app without assembling your own release process.
