Sharp prompts get sharp answers. Forge takes what you typed and rebuilds it into a precise, detailed prompt โ so the answer that comes back is the one you were actually after. ONE BUTTON Forge is a keyboard with a single button. Type your idea, or dictate it, then tap Optimize. Your text is replaced with a stronger version of the same request. Don't like it? Tap Undo. Because it's a keyboard, it's already there inside whatever AI app you're using. Nothing to copy, nothing to paste, nothing to switch to. IT'S STILL YOUR QUESTION Forge never answers for you, and never changes what you meant. It adds what was missing โ context, constraints, output format, the level of detail worth asking for. Your intent, properly asked. IT WORKS OUT THE SUBJECT Code, research, writing, business, planning. Forge reads what you wrote and figures out the domain itself. Nothing to choose, nothing to configure. THE ROUGHER, THE BETTER Ramble. Think out loud. Dictate three paragraphs while you're walking. The more you give Forge to work with, the better what comes back. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
