Inside the creative system

Technology

Explore the systems that help creators make, organize, and share their work.

Cards make creative work portable

CinterForge Cards are the shared model for creative material and its context. The working architecture brings identity, content or a reference to it, metadata, and provenance together. Type coverage and cross-app behavior depend on the supported workflow and release.

CinterForgeOS connects the product system

CinterForgeOS is the Card-centered platform layer behind CinterForge products and workflows. See the product view and technology stack to understand how the workspaces, Card model, data, and app connections fit together.

Work close to your materials

In CinterForge Desktop, Collection is the main section for managing Cards and related assets. Cinter supports local AI and RAG workflows; Forge is for Card creation. Their roles connect through the collection, while specific handoffs and release availability remain workflow-dependent.

Clean Data, with a story behind it

We are building our own clean models on purpose-built training collections that preserve how the data was composed and whose work contributed. The shared asset library is a separate part of the product. Learn about our Clean Data approach.

From a workspace into a world

CinterForge Companion focuses on managing and viewing a Card collection on iPhone and iPad. Its viewer is intended for 2D, 3D, and AR presentations where supported; it is not a one-to-one copy of the Desktop workspace. Explore CinterForge Companion or see how the wider product system fits together.
