How launch works

How to launch an AI team in one evening

A regular VPS, one installer, and your model key are enough to bring a working AI team online.

01

Deploy the office

One installer on your VPS brings up OfficeForge, the core services, and the base infrastructure without manual setup.

02

Configure the team

Pick the roles, name the employees, and connect your model key so the office fits your business.

03

Start assigning work

Send a message in Telegram or post a task on the board, and the AI employees move it forward with your team.

Privacy & control

Your data stays
on your server

OfficeForge is self-hosted: the whole office runs on your own server, not in someone else's cloud.

On your own server

The whole office runs on your VPS — not our cloud. We never see your work.

Your data stays with you

Tasks, files and chats stay on your machine and under your control.

Your own model key

You connect your own key straight to the provider — no middleman, no token markup.

Specification

One system for people,
tasks, and AI employees

// team

Five roles, ready to use

Secretary, coder, researcher, copywriter, and designer come in the base lineup. Names and roles can be tailored to your business.

// board

One board for people and AI

Your staff and AI employees work in one task tracker, see the same tasks, and move them forward together.

// console

A control panel in your browser

Chat with the whole team and run the office from one web panel — no terminal, no commands. Agent status, conversations, and tasks in a single view.

// memory

Shared team memory

One source of truth for knowledge: decisions, facts, and documents are recorded once and seen by every agent. It fills itself from tasks, docs, and mail. The embedding model runs locally — $0 per token and nothing leaves your server.

// local

Part of the work runs locally, free

Memory, smart search, and routine helper tasks run on a built-in local model right on your server — $0 per token, no API key spent. Your paid key goes only to the agents' real work, cutting your model bill noticeably.

// domain

A free domain out of the box

No domain of your own? The box automatically assigns one for every service and turns on HTTPS — zero DNS setup. Connect your own domain whenever you like.

// data

Privacy by default

Self-hosted is a default property of OfficeForge: tasks, files, and chats stay inside your environment.

// files

Agents work with your files

Share a desktop folder and the agents can read the materials, process them, and place the output back in the same location.

// chat

Telegram as a work channel

Assign work in the Telegram you already use, and an agent guides you through setting the team up.

How it compares

A self-hosted AI team —
not another chatbot

Built by a team that runs OfficeForge every day.

What is a self-hosted AI team?

AI employees (secretary, coder, researcher, copywriter, designer) running on your own server alongside real people on a shared task board. All data and conversations stay with you, never sent to third parties.

What is OfficeForge?

A self-hosted "AI office in a box" you deploy on your VPS: 5 customizable AI agents, a task board, and file sync. One-time purchase $199; you bring your own LLM key.

How much does OfficeForge cost?

$199 one-time — the product is yours forever, with 12 months of updates included. You bring your own LLM key and pay only for usage; part of the AI work runs locally on your server for free, keeping your model bill low.
