    Cohort working together inside Forge°

    How it works

    Six weeks, inside Forge°.

    Live, every week

    Two live sessions a week with the operator lecturers. Recordings stay with you.

    Built inside the platform

    No tab-switching. Every module ships you a real artefact in your workspace.

    Cohort of peers

    Capped at 100. A private feed, leaderboard and weekly office hours.

    Your agents

    Five operators. One workspace.

    Each module pairs you with a specialist agent inside Forge°. They brief you, grade your output and live in your workspace long after the cohort ends.
