AI made to measure for you.

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.

fornace ~ % gateway

Everyone gets AI. Nobody gets the keys.

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.

20 people and a 50 m² set in Valpolicella.

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.

Start with a call and a measured pilot.

  1. Call. You tell us where time or money leaks. We start where AI fits your process.
  2. Pilot. One process, one number to move, agreed before we write a line.
  3. Yours. Model, pipeline and permissions, running where you choose, your colleagues' laptops included.

Book a call Send this to your IT

“We already pay for ChatGPT Enterprise.”

Keep it. It has never seen your stock, your price lists or your CRM. We build the part that has.

“Isn't this ChatGPT with your logo on it?”

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.

“Will you build the same thing for our competitor?”

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.

“Does our data end up in the US?”

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.

“Do we need servers with graphics cards?”

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.

“We're not a multinational.”

Neither is Tomasi. Five showrooms, 850 pages, and the stock keeps them current.

“How is quality guaranteed?”

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.

“What about the AI Act?”

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.

“Can we leave?”

Yes, and you take everything with you: models, data, code. Whoever comes next starts from there, not from zero.

“Our IT will have questions.”

Here is the technical sheet for them: where the models run, how Matchbox holds secrets and how exit works.

“How much?”

Scope and fee are fixed in writing after the first call.
