Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. SCAINET Forge is designed for the 99% who aren't developers. Give instructions in plain English — or speak them with voice mode. The AI agent handles the code. Think of it as 24/7 PC support that actually builds things.
What is BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)?
You provide your own API key from Grok, Claude, GPT, or Ollama (free local models). You pay the AI provider directly for usage. SCAINET doesn't charge for AI tokens — our subscription covers the app, governance, and features.
What does 'per account' mean?
One account per person. No shared accounts, no per-seat enterprise billing. Your account is yours. Enterprise at $49/mo means one person gets the full Enterprise experience — add more people, add more accounts.
What makes Forge different from Cursor or Copilot?
Three things: (1) Forge is for everyone, not just developers — voice-first, plain English. (2) The Trinity (HUMAN + EGO + PNEUMA) is patented AI governance that makes agents accountable. (3) 39+ built-in tools give the agent real capability — terminal, Git, browser, web, file system — not just code completion.
What is The Trinity?
HUMAN handles input and commands. EGO provides persistent agent identity and accountability. PNEUMA verifies every output before it reaches you. Together, they form a patented governance system that is continuously improved — every update is free for all users at their tier level.
Is my code safe?
Your code stays on your machine. Forge runs locally as a native desktop app. Code is only sent to your chosen AI provider's API for processing. The 10-Article Constitution includes Article 8 (GUARD) which mechanically blocks secret exposure.
When will Enterprise be available?
Enterprise is in internal testing now. Join the waitlist to be notified when it launches. The core technology is built — we're ensuring the full FORGE + Portal ecosystem meets our quality standards before opening access.
