Why we exist
We exist for one reason: your team's success.
Other firms send their people in, and your team ends up working for them: briefing, reviewing, chasing. We work the other way round. Your people lead, and the whole firm works for them.
You take the credit. That's the point.
Common questions
What people ask first.
What is an instant firm?
A firm you can put to work the moment you need it. There's no intro call, proposal, contract round or kickoff: you ask in Claude, ChatGPT or any AI assistant, see the exact price, approve it, and the work starts. Instant means you start right away; how long the work itself takes depends on the job, and you can bring in one of our experts, your own guest or another AI specialist whenever it helps.
How is Forward Deployed different from forward-deployed engineers or a performance-improvement team?
Forward-deployed engineers (FDEs) and performance-improvement teams are outsiders: they embed their people in your company to make the change for you, and your team spends its time supporting them: briefing, sitting in workshops, reviewing their output. When they leave, much of what they learned leaves with them. Forward Deployed turns that inside out. Your own frontline employees and leaders are the forward deployed, and we are the instant firm behind them: capacity, method and experts inside the AI assistant they already use. Your people lead the work, keep what they learn, and take the credit.
How does Forward Deployed pricing work?
You pay for the AI work a job actually uses, measured in credits, instead of paying for hours. Every job shows its price and a maximum before it runs, nothing paid starts until it's approved, and you're never charged more than the approved maximum. See indicative prices.
Who does the work: people or the AI Workforce?
The AI Workforce does the work. People advise, validate and sign off: your team leads, and Forward Deployed advisors or approved experts step in when judgment matters.
Get started
Ask for your first outcome.
- 01Add Forward Deployed to your AI assistant.
In Claude, ChatGPT or any AI assistant, add this connector:
https://forwardeployed.work/mcp - 02Sign in with your work email.
No passwords: a one-time code, then choose your organization.
- 03Ask for what you need.
The AI Workforce prices it in tokens, you approve it, and it gets to work.
1 credit is $0.10. A typical desk research report is about 60 credits, never more than 150; the price and cap appear before work starts.
Private by design: only the people you invite see the work, and it never trains AI models. How we keep it private →
