About

EtherApps Forge captures Windows applications on the machines they already run on, even when the installer is lost, and turns them into signed MSIX, MSI, Intune Win32 and App Attach packages for Microsoft Intune, Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop. AI does the busywork: the Forge MCP server lets GitHub Copilot and other AI clients drive Forge in plain English, one real tool call at a time, and Forge AI Controller (private preview) runs packaging as an agent in your own infrastructure, with local AI models so data stays in your environment. Capture runs from Windows XP SP3 to Windows 11 and Server 2008 R2 to 2025. App-V 5 packages convert to MSIX or MSI without resequencing. Sign, validate and smoke test each package. Forge runs on your own machines, so packages and signing keys stay with you. 7-day free trial at etherapps.ai: 25 captures, no card. £895 per named packaging admin per year, plus VAT.
