Deployment choice
Run locally, in your own VPC or through a considered hybrid—based on the workload, not a sales target.

WHY FORKLOCAL
Control the model layer.
Own the outcome.
We are not tied to a frontier provider. We find the right mix of open and proprietary models, then make it dependable in the environment you control.
End-to-end ownership
One implementation partner from first benchmark to agent rollout, governance and ongoing operations.
Provider flexibility
Use Gemma, Qwen, OpenAI OSS and other models alongside frontier APIs without being trapped by one provider.
WHAT WE DO
From first idea
to agents at work.
Free assessment & solution design
We assess the workflow, data, infrastructure and economics at no cost—then give you a clear architecture and quote before development starts.
Coding & productivity agents
We deploy and manage practical agent systems—from coding agents to OpenWork, Cowork, GPT Business and the workflows around them.
Model-layer implementation
We select, benchmark and optimise the model layer for productivity use cases—across frontier APIs and open-source models, without provider lock-in.
Managed FDE service
When the need is ongoing, we place a dedicated Forward Deployed Engineer into your operation to run, improve and support the system after launch.
FDE AS A SERVICE
An AI engineer embedded in your outcome—not another hand-off.
For businesses with enough ongoing demand, we provide a dedicated Forward Deployed Engineer who stays accountable for adoption, reliability and continuous improvement after the initial build.
Dedicated ownership
A named engineer who understands your systems, users and model stack.
Transparent commercial model
The FDE is billed to your business, with ForkLocal taking only a minimum operating margin.
Built for the long run
Monitoring, optimisation, new use cases and team enablement continue beyond go-live.
OUR APPROACH
Start small.
Prove value.
Scale with confidence.
We begin with a free assessment and a free quote. You get evidence before investment, a working system before a transformation programme, and an operating model that fits your team.
- 01Assess for free
Find the highest-value workflow and receive a clear scope and quote before development.
- 02Benchmark
Test models and hardware against your real data and quality bar.
- 03Build with leverage
Use eligible cloud-startup credits to reduce the cost of a prototype or proof of concept.
- 04Operate your way
Hand over to your team or keep a ForkLocal FDE embedded for ongoing support.
CLOUD ECOSYSTEMS
We work across the major cloud platforms and their startup ecosystems, helping eligible customers access credits for PoCs and prototypes.
BUILT FOR REAL WORK
Agents for real work.
Coding agents
Deploy secure agents for code generation, review, testing and engineering workflows inside your environment.
↗Productivity agents
Implement OpenWork, Cowork, GPT Business and comparable tools around the way your teams already operate.
↗Private knowledge & workflow
Connect internal documents and systems without moving sensitive business context outside your control.
↗Model optimisation
Benchmark, route, quantise and tune open or frontier models for better quality, latency and unit economics.
