Why AI-built tools need a control plane.
A thesis, not a mission statement — because at this stage, what we believe is the most useful thing we can show you.
Something changed in the last two years that most org charts haven’t caught up to: the ability to build software stopped being scarce. An operations manager with Claude Code can now produce, in an afternoon, the internal tool their team has wanted for a year. Not a mockup — a working app, on real data, better fitted to the job than anything in the template gallery.
Every enterprise is discovering this the same way: not through a procurement process, but through a spreadsheet that quietly became an app. The industry now has names for it — vibe coding, shadow AI — and numbers for it: 93% of C-suite leaders say they’re concerned about AI-built tools in production, and only 5% are confident they can see what those tools are doing.
The standard responses are both wrong. Blocking employee builders throws away the biggest productivity unlock in a generation. Ignoring them turns your tenant into a landfill of unaudited apps holding credentials in localStorage.
The missing piece isn’t a better builder — the world has extraordinary builders now. The missing piece is a governed place to put what gets built: a runtime where shipping the tool is as easy as building it, and where IT’s controls are structural rather than procedural. Identity from the tenant, not the app. Data access as the signed-in viewer, not a service account. An audit trail nobody has to remember to write. A kill switch that doesn’t require finding the person who deployed it.
That’s Forigi. We are deliberately not another app builder — your team already has one they love. We’re the control plane underneath it: build anywhere, ship as-is, governed always.
Who’s building it
Forigi is built by Knotbook Software Inc., a Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program member with verified-publisher status on its Microsoft Entra app registration. The team is deliberately small — every pilot works directly with the people who wrote the platform.
We’ve sat on both sides of this problem: as builders watching a six-week ticket queue kill a good idea, and close enough to IT to understand exactly why that queue exists. The product is our attempt to make both sides right at the same time.
How we work with pilots
- Small cohort, each quarter. We take on a limited number of pilot teams so every one gets founder-level attention. IT-led pilots get priority.
- Honest scope. The security page says what the platform does and doesn’t do today. If your requirement isn’t met yet, we’ll say so before you spend a meeting on it.
- No fake urgency. No countdown timers, no “pricing goes up Friday.” A demo request gets a reply from a founder within two business days.
