InsForge is the Agent-Native Supabase Alternative. We are building the features of Supabase in an AI-native way, enabling AI agents to build and manage full-stack applications autonomously.

  • Authentication - Complete user management system
  • Database - Flexible data storage and retrieval
  • Storage - File management and organization
  • Serverless Functions (coming soon) - Scalable compute power
  • Site Deployment (coming soon) - Easy application deployment

Use Cases: Building full-stack applications using natural language

  • Connect AI agents to InsForge - Enable Claude, GPT, or other AI agents to manage your backend
  • Add backend to Lovable or Bolt-style vibe coding project projects - Instant backend for AI-generated frontends
