Open Beta COMING SOON

July 12, 2026

  • ForgeLab Opens to Everyone

    After a closed beta focused on real-world feedback, ForgeLab opens to the public on July 12. Sign up and start building. No invite required.

Brain v8.3 LATEST

July 2026

  • Two-Factor Authentication

    Secure your account with an authenticator app (TOTP) or an emailed code, your choice, off by default. Includes one-time backup codes in case you lose access to either. Enable it in Settings → Account.

  • GitHub Integration

    Import a public or private repository straight into your workspace, or push your current project to GitHub as a real commit. Connect a personal access token once, then pick a repo from a dropdown of your own repos or type a new one.

  • Usage Tab in Settings

    Pro plan users can now see a detailed breakdown of their last 30 AI requests: model, tokens, and Forge Token cost, right in Settings → Usage.

  • Session Expiry Warning

    Get a heads-up before your session expires, with a one-click way to stay logged in. No more losing your place mid-project.

  • Resume After a Balance Top-Up

    If a Brain project pauses because your balance ran low, topping up and reopening the same conversation now correctly offers to resume exactly where it left off.

  • Upload Progress for Large Projects

    Importing a bigger project (ZIP, folder, or GitHub repo) now shows a live progress bar instead of leaving you wondering if it's still working.

  • Clearer Plan Preview

    Before Brain Mode starts building, the plan you approve now shows a plain-language summary of how your request was understood, plus any assumptions it had to make. Grounded in your actual request, not a generic template.

  • New Home: forgelab.one

    ForgeLab has moved to its permanent domain. Old links and bookmarks are automatically redirected.

  • Claude Fable 5 Back Online

    Claude Fable 5 is available again in the model picker.

  • Chat History and Projects Encrypted at Rest

    Your conversation history and the generated project files behind it are now encrypted before being stored in our database, the same AES-256 protection already used for API keys and other credentials.

  • Backend & Database (Early)

    Connect your own Supabase project and ForgeLab detects the data model your generated app needs, then creates the tables for you with one click. Early version, focused on getting the tables provisioned; wiring the generated app to actually read and write them is next.

  • Row-Level Security, On by Default

    Tables provisioned into your Supabase project now get row-level security enabled automatically, with policies scoped to each user's own rows. No manual setup step.

  • Generated Apps Now Use Your Real Database

    Once you connect a Supabase project, React, Vue, Svelte, and Next.js projects write real database calls and real Supabase Auth for login and registration, instead of mock data. Nothing changes if you don't connect a database.

  • Next.js: Choose Static Export or a Full Backend

    Connecting Supabase to a Next.js project now asks how it should run. Static export keeps client-side auth and stays deployable with the Publish button. Full backend (SSR) adds real server-side session handling through middleware, works completely in Preview, but needs to be deployed yourself to a Node-capable host (e.g. Vercel) to go live, since Publish only supports static sites.

  • Simpler Upload Menu

    Upload Files, Upload Folder, and Import ZIP are now one button with a dropdown, matching the Export and GitHub menus, less clutter in the workspace toolbar.

Closed Beta

June 12, 2026

  • Closed Beta Begins

    A small group of testers started using ForgeLab and shaped much of what shipped since, from Brain Mode refinements to the features above.

Brain v8.2

April 2026

  • Fix My Project: Audit Loop

    Upload any existing project to the VFS and let the Audit Loop automatically detect and fix all errors. Supports React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, Node.js, and static HTML. Type fix my project in chat or enable the Audit Loop toggle to get started.

  • Pre-Generation Clarification Dialog

    Before Brain Mode starts generating, a compact card asks 4 key questions (auth, data source, mobile-first, project size). Answers are merged into the architect's spec for more accurate generation from the first run.

  • Smarter Brain Memory

    Memory now filters by stack type. React patterns stay separate from Vue patterns. Error taxonomy with 9 semantic categories (import_error, prop_mismatch, type_error, etc.) enables better deduplication and faster learning.

  • Syntax Fix: Stack Context Strings

    Fixed unescaped single quotes inside the Next.js stack context string that caused a browser SyntaxError ("Unexpected token 'export'") when the file was loaded as a non-module script.

Brain v8.1

March 2026

  • Brain Memory in Every Task

    Learning context is now injected into every task execution, not just planning. Agents see successful patterns and known issues while writing code.

  • Judge0 Sandbox Integration

    Custom Docker image with Python 3.11, Node.js 20 and PHP 8.2 for in-browser execution across 37+ languages without WebContainer.

  • Pre-task Context Injection

    Before writing a component, agents now automatically see where it is used and what data fields are passed to it, reducing prop mismatches and field inconsistencies.

  • Post-task Cross-check

    Immediately after each file is saved, the system verifies data field consistency and enum map completeness across related files.

  • Infrastructure Upgrade

    Migrated to a dedicated VPS for improved performance, reliability and response times.

  • 11 Project Templates

    Expanded template library with categories and AI-based auto-detection. New templates include Next.js SaaS, fullstack React+Node, and AI chatbot.

Brain v8.0 - Multi-Agent Integrity MAJOR

February 2026

  • Smart Live Linter

    Real-time file validation during generation. Auto-fixes missing React imports, export statements, and import path issues on the fly.

  • Comprehensive Integrity Checker

    Validates all critical files after build: checks content validity, dependency completeness, and missing imports before starting the dev server.

  • Auto-Dependency Installer

    Scans all generated code for import statements, detects missing npm packages, and automatically adds them to package.json.

  • Per-file Generation Mode

    Each agent now handles exactly one file per task, eliminating conflicts during parallel execution and improving output consistency.

  • File Lock Manager

    Prevents multiple agents from writing to the same file simultaneously during parallel execution.

v7 - Pricing & Knowledge Base MAJOR

January 2026

  • Brain Knowledge Base

    Upload PDFs, text files or paste content to give the AI context about your project, custom APIs or frameworks. Injected automatically into every relevant task.

  • Three-tier Pricing Model

    Free tier with daily limits, BYOK ($7.99/mo) with your own OpenRouter key, and Pro with ForgeLab token-based usage. Full payment and billing flow implemented.

  • Long & Short Term Memory

    Brain now retains successful patterns and known issues across sessions, improving output quality over time for each user.

  • Project Templates System

    Pre-built templates for React+Vite, static HTML, Next.js and more. Auto-generates missing critical files on startup.

v6 - Error Handling & Terminal AI IMPROVED

Early January 2026

  • Terminal AI - Precise Error Detection

    Terminal and runtime errors are automatically detected and analyzed, then shown in a precise error banner over the preview, with the file, line, and a plain-language hint. Copy the error with one click and paste it into chat to have the AI fix it.

  • Security Hardening

    Input validation, rate limiting and improved authentication flow across all API endpoints.

  • Persona & Workflow System

    Each agent now has a configurable persona with a dedicated model, temperature and instructions. Custom workflows can be defined per project type.

v4-v5 - WebContainer & Conductor Agent MAJOR

Late December 2025

  • WebContainer Live Preview

    Full Node.js environment running inside the browser via StackBlitz WebContainer. Projects build and run without leaving the tab.

  • Conductor Agent (Orchestrator)

    Dedicated orchestration agent that analyzes the user request, detects the tech stack, plans the full task graph and delegates work to specialized agents in the correct order.

  • One-click Cloudflare Pages Deployment

    Deploy any generated project directly to Cloudflare Pages from within the editor with a single click.

  • Integrated Terminal

    Full shell access inside the browser. Run npm commands, view build output and interact with the WebContainer environment directly.
