THE FORGE is a high-density, real-time collaborative workspace designed for AI-assisted engineering and creative brainstorming. It leverages CRDTs for sub-millisecond synchronization and integrates deep AI context to turn "Blueprints" into synchronized "Forge Outcomes."
- Real-Time Synergy: Powered by Liveblocks, allowing multiple "Architects" to collaborate on the same mission simultaneously with zero-conflict sync.
- Living Spec (The Blueprint): A dynamic, 100% customizable sidebar where users can define, rename, and add binary or list-based parameters to steer AI output.
- AI Forge Engine: Integrated with Google Gemini (3.0 Flash) to generate high-fidelity technical plans, prompts, and architectural specs.
- Context-Aware Communication: The built-in "Comm Thread" passes real-time chat history to the Forge AI, ensuring it understands the ongoing conversation.
- Mission Templates: Pre-configured modes for "Antigravity Prompts," "Image Gen," and "Dev Plans."
- Auto-Expiry: Rooms automatically reset after 30 minutes of inactivity to ensure a clean slate for new projects.
- Framework: Next.js 16 (App Router)
- Runtime: Turbopack
- Real-Time/CRDT: Liveblocks
- AI Engine: Google Generative AI (Gemini API)
- Styling: Tailwind CSS
- Icons: Lucide React
