Efficient enough to run on your laptops: no server racks, no data-centre graphics cards. Our models work on the Macs you already have, even with the Wi‑Fi off: on a train, at a client's, in a plant with no signal.
fornace.net turns fifteen years of making sites and apps into a builder anyone can run: a playable voxel world, a sprint-training app, a property research tool and Bonazzi's wine shop were all built there.

Your colleagues sign in with the company account and each finds the AI their role allows: sales the CRM, accounts the ledger, the new hire an onboarding guide to ask anything. Every model behind one door, every action logged, no password in anyone's hands.

Next to the office in San Pietro in Cariano sits our 50 m² kitchen set with cinema cameras, lights and drones, where we shoot Viessmann's 4K spots and NIMS's product films.
Fornace was founded in 2011 by Francesco Frapporti and Luca Cisorio. It began with native iPhone apps for marketing. Today it's 20 people plus a circle of collaborators, in Valpolicella.


Book a call Send this to your IT
Keep it. It has never seen your stock, your price lists or your CRM. We build the part that has.
No. Scintilla, Eugeny and Imagineer are ours: we train them, compress them and wrote the engines they run on. When we use someone else's model, it goes through the same door as ours.
Not with your data. The model trained on your work, and the code around it, belong to you. Your training data and every answer the model gives stay in a chain of custody we sign with you. It's in the contract.
Only if you send it there. Our models run at your premises, in approved European data centres, or on one laptop with the Wi‑Fi off.
No. To start, a Mac from a shop is enough. If you'd rather keep it in a rack, we host at your premises or in approved European data centres, with the chain of custody in writing.
Neither is Tomasi. Five showrooms, 850 pages, and the stock keeps them current.
Code checks what code can check, and a person signs off what goes out. At NIMS, AI never produces a number: the code counts the leads.
Before we build, we write down which obligations fall on you and which on us. Generated content is labelled, every action is logged, permissions are set per person. When your lawyer arrives, the answers are already written.
Yes, and you take everything with you: models, data, code. Whoever comes next starts from there, not from zero.
Here is the technical sheet for them: where the models run, how Matchbox holds secrets and how exit works.
Scope and fee are fixed in writing after the first call.
Usually Francesco or Luca.
