Vulcan365 Forge is where your business builds its own software with AI, then runs, manages and watches over it with the security larger companies pay entire departments for.
Describe what you need and watch it take shape. When it’s ready, Forge puts it to work on Microsoft’s cloud, inside boundaries you control, with Vulcan365 engineers a call away.
With AI, the cost of creating software has dropped tenfold or more. Businesses of every size are now building tools they could never justify before: a customer portal, a quoting app, a dashboard for the owner, an assistant for the front desk.
That’s good news, until you ask the next questions. Where does the app run? Who can sign in to it? What can it reach? Who notices when it breaks? What happens when the person who built it moves on? Quick app builders answer “build it.” They rarely answer “run it safely for years.”
Forge answers both. It gives every business a safe place to build, run, manage and monitor its own apps and AI agents, with the security and controls an enterprise expects, at a size and price that fit a growing business. We call it Managed Intelligence: your ideas, built quickly, and kept secure, managed and watched over by Vulcan365.
Microsoft 365 Copilot already knows your email, files, meetings and chats, and keeps them inside Microsoft’s protections. It can find, summarize and draft from everything your business knows. But a copilot doesn’t build the aircraft.
When your business needs software of its own, like a quoting tool, a customer portal or an agent that chases every overdue invoice, the Copilot world has had no safe place to build it, run it and keep it maintained. That’s the missing key to AI at work: software development, with management.
Forge is the hangar. It’s where your custom apps and agents are built, inspected, launched and kept airworthy, in Microsoft’s Azure cloud, right beside your users and Copilot.
One set of accounts. One set of rules. One Microsoft cloud.
Apps use your Microsoft 365 accounts and groups. Choose who gets in, and when someone leaves, their access to every app leaves with them.
Apps can read and send mail, use calendars, OneDrive and SharePoint, down to a single site, with only the access your admin approves.
A new email arrives, a file changes, a meeting is booked: apps can respond the moment it happens in Microsoft 365.
Publish your own agents to Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 Copilot, acting as the person who asks and only with their permissions.
Microsoft 365 features are available when your Forge apps run in your own Azure, alongside your Microsoft 365. Vulcan365 sets that up with your IT admin in a short guided process.
There’s no single right way to build an app. Forge lets you start the way that suits you and change course at any time.
Tell Forge’s built-in assistant what you need in plain language. It asks the right questions, shows you its plan and waits for your go-ahead. Then it builds with GitHub Copilot while you watch a live preview, point at anything on screen and ask for changes.
Already have AI tools your team likes? Use them. Your people can work on an app from their own computers with the AI they prefer, and Forge gives those tools the guidance to follow your rules. Everything they save comes back to Forge to be tested and run.
Our engineers can build an app for you from the start, set up the first version for your team to grow, or step in at any point when something needs an expert. You’re never stuck with half an app.
Start from a ready-made starting point: a web app your team signs in to, a job that runs on a schedule, a worker that responds when something happens, or your own AI agents. Or add a finished app from the Forge App Store.
The built-in assistant runs on your own GitHub Copilot plan, so you choose your AI and see exactly what it costs. Every app’s code is kept in your business’s own GitHub account or in one we look after for you, so the work is always yours. Every change is saved automatically, and nothing reaches your team until you decide to release it.
Here’s a common story. The pieces that take expertise come from us. The ideas that only your team would think of, your team can build themselves.
Vulcan365 engineers build your full customer system in Forge: your customers, your sales stages, your follow-up rules, signed in with your Microsoft 365 accounts. It runs, is monitored and is kept up to date from day one.
Your marketing lead wants a specialized campaign app: pick customers who haven’t ordered in 90 days, write tailored offers and track who responds. It’s a great idea, and it doesn’t belong in the CRM itself.
They describe it to Forge and build it themselves. Forge connects it to the CRM so it can read the customer data it needs, and nothing else. No passwords swapped, no spreadsheets emailed around. If they get stuck, a Vulcan365 engineer picks it up where they left off.
Each app in Forge runs as its own managed identity in Microsoft’s cloud, like an employee badge that opens only the doors that app needs.
Most data leaks from home-grown apps start the same way: a password or key tucked into the code, copied somewhere it shouldn’t be. Forge removes that risk at the root.
Every app, and every copy of it, signs in to Microsoft’s cloud as itself. Microsoft manages that identity, so there’s no password to steal, nothing for a developer to copy and nothing to rotate by hand. You decide exactly what each app may reach, you can see it in one place, and you can take it away in one place.
Any keys an app does need are kept in a locked vault and handed to the app when it runs. No one on your team ever has to see or copy them.
Apps can use the same accounts your team already has, and only the people you let in get in. When someone leaves, their access to every app goes with their account.
When one app needs another, like the campaign app and the CRM, Forge makes the connection and keeps the key hidden from everyone. Each environment gets its own, so testing never touches the real thing.
Agents act as the person using them, with only that person’s permissions. Working on someone’s behalf in the background requires both your admin’s approval and that person connecting their own account. The AI agent security problem, handled by design.
Forge doesn’t keep the keys to your tenant. When something needs an administrator, like approving what a new app may reach, your admin signs in for a time-limited session that closes itself afterwards.
Each permission an app holds shows how risky it is, and every grant or removal is written to an access history you can review at any time.
The AI that writes your apps works in an isolated space of its own that never holds your business’s identities or data access. What it builds is checked before it runs anywhere that matters.
Each business’s apps run in their own space, separated from everyone else’s. Choose to run them in Vulcan365’s Azure, or in your own Azure where your Microsoft 365 features live and your data never leaves your account.
An app isn’t finished when it’s built. Forge manages its whole life, so a change never surprises the people who depend on it.
Set up the environments you need, such as Testing and Live. The same version you tried moves forward, only once it’s running in the one before, and you decide when it goes live.
Each change is saved with a history of what went live and when. If a release isn’t right, undo it and go back to the version before.
The shared foundations we provide are updated by Vulcan365 without rewriting the parts your team built, so apps stay secure as they grow.
Choose for each app: wake when someone visits, stay ready during business hours, or stay on all the time. Background work runs only when there’s work to do. You can see this month’s running costs, and get an alert before a budget is reached.
See every app, every environment and how they connect, with each one’s health at a glance.
Watch what an app is doing right now, as it happens, without anyone having to log in to a server.
Forge picks out the moments an app had trouble and flags them on its page and on the map, and emails you if an app keeps restarting, so issues get noticed before your customers notice them.
See which agents are running, who they’re working for and how they’re doing, from the same place as your apps.
Add ready-made apps, starting points and building blocks to your business in a click. Store apps are kept up to date by Vulcan365 and run in your own space like your other apps.
A new email, a new customer, a finished order: apps can respond the moment something happens in Microsoft 365 or in another app, and sleep the rest of the time.
Apps that need to store information get their own database, signed in to without a password. It’s never deleted just because an app is; removing data is always its own decision.
Build your own AI agents and publish them to Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 Copilot, where your people already work. Agents can be given the business tools and knowledge they need.
Apps can work with your mail, calendars, files and Teams, with exactly the permissions you approve, and nothing more.
An app can offer what it does, such as “look up an order,” to your AI agents, so agents work with your business systems through the same safe connections.
Put customer-facing apps on your own domain, so they look like your business, not ours.
Change how an app behaves in Testing or Live without touching its code. Sensitive settings go straight to the vault.
Developers can run any app on their own machine with one simple key, using the same building blocks Forge uses.
Your apps’ code can live in your own GitHub account, and your apps can run in your own Azure, set up with a short guided process for your IT admin. You’re never locked in to keep what you built.
Ask for help from the app you’re working on and a Vulcan365 engineer picks it up. They get access to that app only for as long as they need it.
Your own security intelligence, set up by Vulcan365 with the protection leading security tools provide, then tuned with you to how your business really works.
No. Many apps can be built by describing them to Forge’s assistant. When an app needs more, Vulcan365 engineers can build it, help your team or take it over. If you do have developers, they can use their own tools and AI alongside Forge.
You do. Your apps’ code can be kept in your own GitHub account, and your apps can run in your own Azure.
Forge’s assistant builds with GitHub Copilot by default, on your own Copilot plan, so you control the AI and its cost. Your team can also use the AI tools they already prefer, such as Claude Code or Codex. Every app includes guidance so those tools follow your rules.
On Microsoft Azure, either in a space Vulcan365 runs for you or in your own Azure. Your apps are separated from every other business’s, and each one reaches only what you’ve allowed.
That’s exactly who Forge is built for. Your people sign in with the accounts they already have, apps can work with your mail, files and Teams, and agents can appear in Teams and Copilot.
Forge watches your apps and surfaces problems as they happen, and a release can be undone. You can ask for help from inside Forge, and Vulcan365 engineers can step in at any time.
Bring us the app your team keeps wishing for. We’ll show you how Forge builds it, runs it and keeps it secure, and where Vulcan365 can help.
