RodiumAi just launched Forge
RodiumAi is launching Forge - the platform that lets you prototype a website or a mobile app with a single prompt in under five minutes, while spending the RODI credits already on your RodiumAi wallet.
No separate card. No second billing account. You open Forge, type what you want to build, and the agent scaffolds a real React project with a live preview - the same RODI balance you use for models and APIs on RodiumAi.
The public homepage says it plainly: one prompt → app, live preview, ready templates - built for speed, not slide decks. Hit Open Forge (or start from the hero prompt) and you land in your workspace.
Inside the app the story stays simple: one prompt box (“Ready to build?”), your projects, templates, and your RODI balance in the sidebar. If you already have credits on RodiumAi, you are ready to ship a prototype.
One prompt. A clickable product - not a slide deck
Describe the product in plain language. Forge plans the work, updates dozens of files, and streams a live preview while you iterate in chat.
Example from a real session:
Create a landing page for my fintech app call MoneyA
Minutes later you get a conversion-ready landing page: hero, features, social proof, CTA, design tokens - with 26 files updated in a single plan run.
You stay in the loop: refine in Agent or Plan mode, ask for another section, or change a color. The preview updates as the agent works - zero local setup, zero waiting on a designer for the first clickable demo.
Open source - fork it, run it, contribute
Forge is open source. That means you can:
Browse and star the code on GitHub - RodiumAi/Forge
Clone the repo, run it locally, and self-host if you want
Open issues and pull requests - designers, developers, and security contributors are welcome
Official product: forge.rodiumai.io
Source & CONTRIBUTING: github.com/RodiumAi/Forge
Open source here is not a slogan. You get a real Vite/React codebase you can read in the editor, not a locked black box.
Hosted subdomain - or bring your own domain
Every project can go live on a Forge subdomain in one click. Set a site slug (for example moneya) and your prototype is reachable at something like https://moneya.forge.rodiumai.io.
Need a production brand URL? Connect your own custom domain from project options (Publishing). Same publish flow, your DNS, your name on the address bar.
When you publish, Forge also surfaces a shareable Website URL panel with a QR code so teammates can open the mobile-ready site on a phone in seconds - plus a security check and full source ZIP export.
Export the ZIP when you want a separate backend
Prototypes should not trap your code. From the publish / URL panel you can download the full source as a ZIP - frontend (and backend folders when present) ready to run locally.
That is the escape hatch for teams who want to:
Keep iterating UI in Forge, then wire a Nest/Laravel/FastAPI backend elsewhere
Hand the repo to a client or agency
Continue in Cursor, VS Code, or Claude Code with the same files Forge generated
SEO, visual edits, and object-level changes
Forge is built for shipping something you can show - and refine without losing momentum:
Automatic SEO helpers for your site (project Options → SEO) so titles, meta, and publishing basics are not an afterthought
Object-level edits - select an element on the preview and ask the agent to change it (“Change the color to green”)
Edit text directly on the preview with the on-canvas toolbar (select, text, image tools)
Responsive desktop / tablet / mobile preview so the first demo already looks right on a phone
Templates when you do not want to start from zero
Prefer a head start? Forge ships ready-to-use templates - SaaS, fashion, AI products, wellness, creative studios, developer tools, photo galleries, travel, and more. Fork a kit, then customize in chat - same agent, same RODI billing, faster path from idea to first published URL.
Browse templates from the sidebar on Forge or start blank with a single prompt. Both paths land in the same workspace: conversation, preview, code, and publish.
Pay with the RODI you already have
Forge is part of the RodiumAi ecosystem. Usage draws from your RODI wallet - the same credits you recharge with Mobile Money on rodiumai.io.
That is the point for builders across Africa: frontier AI tooling without a second international checkout. Prototype on Forge, call models on the API, keep one balance.
Who Forge is for
Founders who need a clickable demo today, not a Figma deck next week
Designers who want a live React surface to poke, not static mockups only
Developers who want an AI scaffold they can export and own
Students and indie builders already on RodiumAi RODI
Open-source contributors who want to improve the stack on GitHub
How to start in under five minutes
Open Forge and sign in with your RodiumAi account (or create one).
Confirm you have RODI on your wallet - recharge with Mobile Money from the RodiumAi dashboard if needed.
Type one prompt (or fork a template).
Watch the plan run, open the live preview, tweak in chat or on-canvas.
Set a slug, hit Publish, share the URL / QR - or Export ZIP for your backend team.
Our mission stays the same
Enable African developers, students, and creators to access frontier AI tools - without being limited by payment methods.
API credits, SDKs, Claude Code, and now Forge: local rails, global models, prototypes you can click in minutes.
