ImpForge — DigiU

Your Desktop Becomes an AI Command Center

A floating AI companion that turns any laptop into a sovereign workstation
with 480+ modules. Runs 100% offline. Sees no data. Tracks nothing. Ever.

🆕 April 2026 update: ai_imp now builds anything for you — describe what you want in plain English, watch a working app pop out in its own window seconds later. Production-grade SaaS with built-in compliance. Mobile apps. Trading companions that start in paper mode and only graduate to real money after they've proven themselves. All on your laptop. Whether you want to peek under the hood or not, our template gallery is now MIT-licensed on GitHub — fully open, free to use anywhere, even with Cursor, Bolt, or Claude Code.

The problem with every "AI workstation" you've tried

Your data leaves your machine. The AI is lobotomised. The interface is a sidebar stuck to the edge of your IDE. You pay a cloud bill that grows every month. The "assistant" stalls on sensitive topics and forgets what you told it last week. Your tools are scattered across 14 browser tabs, 3 apps, and a Discord server.

You wanted a command center. You got a subscription to someone else's surveillance system.

ImpForge is the alternative.

HyperChat — The Heart of ImpForge

Forget app windows that eat your screen. ImpForge lives in HyperChat — a small, beautiful AI panel that floats at the edge of your display.

It's tiny. It's smart. It moves on its own.

• Magnetically docks to any screen edge — left, right, top, bottom
• Automatically moves out of the way when you're working
• Grows when you need it, shrinks when you don't
• Everything starts here: just talk to your AI

Think of HyperChat as a portal. You tell it what you need, and the right tools appear on your desktop as floating windows. An IDE here. A spreadsheet there. A chart in the corner. You arrange them however you want.

HyperChat is how you command your entire desktop.

It shows you what your AI is thinking. It shows you your goals, deadlines, and predictions. It streams every LLM token, every tool call, every state change through a live event protocol so you see the AI working — no black box, no "loading spinner theatre". It lets you switch between 5 levels of AI autonomy — from "only answer when asked" to "handle everything yourself" — each level guarded by a cryptographic audit chain that logs every decision.

No other tool works like this. Most AI assistants are a sidebar. HyperChat is a command center.

AI-Readable Design System — The world's first UI that evolves itself.

ImpForge has a built-in design intelligence system that no other AI tool has:

• Universal UI Scanner — reads any UI component and checks it against 400+ design tokens for WCAG accessibility, font correctness, spacing consistency, and animation quality. Generates a score and concrete improvement suggestions.
• AI-Readable Design Tokens — every color, font, spacing value, animation, and effect is defined in a machine-readable format that the AI understands natively. No guessing. No generic output.
• Google A2UI v0.9 Support — ai_imp can describe entire UIs in a flat, declarative JSON format. 20+ trusted component types in a security-sandboxed catalog. The AI generates UI, your app renders it — safely.
• W3C Design Tokens Standard — export tokens to the international standard (W3C DTCG, Oct 2025). Compatible with Figma, Tokens Studio, Style Dictionary, and any design tool.
• Works with every AI tool — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, JetBrains AI, Copilot — they all read the same design rules automatically.

An AI that actually gets you

It remembers. Actually remembers.

Not "we saved your chat history." Real memory. ImpForge builds a picture of who you are over time — your skills, your preferences, your projects, your goals. Every conversation makes it smarter about you specifically.

Ask it something on Monday. Reference it on Friday. It connects the dots.

It thinks before it speaks.

Most AIs just throw words at you. ImpForge's AI has an actual thought process. When you ask a hard question, it checks your code, looks at your past decisions, considers what worked before, and then answers.

You can watch it think through HyperChat's Thinking Panel — see which parts of its brain light up while it works.

It has 472 personalities. And picks the right one.

Working on a React component? It becomes a frontend expert. Writing a business proposal? Switches to a business consultant. Doing your taxes? Becomes a German tax advisor who knows the current deadlines.

You don't configure this. It just happens.

It has a board of directors.

For the big decisions, your AI assembles a virtual boardroom: a CTO, a CFO, a legal advisor, a security expert — 10 specialists who debate your question from different angles. They argue. They vote (weighted by a Hebbian trust score that learns which advisor has been right in your context). Then they give you a recommendation with dissenting opinions clearly noted.

Like having a team of advisors who never sleep and never charge by the hour.

It scales from helper to autonomous.

Three operating tiers, one kill-switch. Supervised (the AI asks before every action). Guarded (auto-runs safe actions, asks for sensitive ones). Autonomous (full self-governance for trusted long-running jobs). Every decision at every tier is recorded in a SHA-256 Merkle audit chain — tamper-evident, mathematically verifiable, yours alone.

It gets better every day.

The more you work with ImpForge, the more it learns. After a week, it anticipates what you need. After a month, it feels like it reads your mind.

All that learning stays on your machine. Delete the app, it's gone. No traces anywhere.

Anti-Palantir Privacy Shield

"Your AI assistant that even Palantir can't spy on."

Data surveillance platforms like Palantir work by fusing data from multiple sources into searchable profiles. They need three things to exfiltrate data (the "Lethal Trifecta"): untrusted input, access to sensitive data, and the ability to communicate externally.

ImpForge breaks all three.

5-Tier DigiU Privacy System

Choose your protection level during setup. It controls EVERYTHING — AI routing, storage, network access, telemetry, and sharing.

5 Defense Layers (Always Active)

1. PII Detection — Scans every outbound message for 13 types of personal data (emails, SSNs, credit cards, API keys, passwords, phone numbers, etc.) and auto-scrubs before any cloud call
2. Prompt Injection Firewall — Blocks 17 attack patterns including instruction override, data exfiltration, and hidden instructions in HTML/Unicode
3. Canary Tokens — Invisible markers in your documents. If your data appears in any external database, you'll know.
4. Cryptographic Audit Trail — Blockchain-style Merkle tree logs every privacy-sensitive operation. Tamper-proof. Mathematically verifiable.
5. Governance Graph — 23 rules control which AI agents can access what data. Deny-by-default. External tools need explicit permission.

EU AI Act — Already Compliant

While competitors scramble to comply with the August 2026 deadline, ImpForge ships compliant by default:

• All AI features classified by risk tier (Minimal, Limited, High-Risk)
• Transparency labels auto-generated for AI content
• Full compliance report at the click of a button
• GDPR Art. 25 (Privacy by Design) baked into the architecture

Zero-Knowledge Proofs + Encrypted Computation

ImpForge can mathematically prove that your data was processed correctly — without revealing what the data is:

• SHA-256 Commitment Schemes — prove data existed at a point in time
• AES-256-GCM Encrypted Queries — cloud APIs never see your plaintext
• HMAC Verification — prove computation integrity without revealing inputs
• Tamper-Evident Audit Logs — any modification is mathematically detectable

Every line of ImpForge code was written assuming someone hostile is watching. Because they are.

Your desktop, your rules

400+ tools, one HyperChat command away.

AI Chat. Code Editor. Document Writer. Spreadsheets. Email. Calendar. Notes. PDF Viewer. Docker Manager. GitHub Dashboard. Trading View. Browser. Terminal. CRM. Analytics. Presentation Builder. Campaign Manager. Multi-repo orchestrator. Live-broker dashboard (Alpaca, IBKR, Binance, Kraken, Coinbase). And 380 more.

Each one is a building block. Tell HyperChat to open it — it appears as a floating window on your desktop. Drag it anywhere. Resize it. Pin it. Make it transparent. Build the workstation you've always wanted.

Builders, not templates.

ImpForge doesn't give you "sample projects." It gives you builders. Ask HyperChat for a SaaS, a mobile app, a desktop app, a CRM, an e-commerce store, a firmware project, or a single-page site — and the AI scaffolds the whole thing, runs it in an isolated sandbox, and iteratively improves it with quality feedback until it works. Twelve categories. One command each.

Every app appears in its own window.

No iframe juggling. No "deploy to see it." When ai_imp finishes building your app, a fresh window pops out on your desktop running the live preview — hot-reloaded, interactive, yours to click through. Move it to a second monitor. Leave it open while you describe the next change. It updates as you speak.

Compliance comes built-in.

Building a fintech app? ai_imp ships FINRA-aware audit logging by default. Healthcare? HIPAA-ready schema. SaaS platform? Multi-tenant isolation auditing catches the one-line bug that causes 92 % of SaaS data breaches — before your migration ever hits the database.

Free, open template gallery.

We put the scaffolding blueprints on GitHub under an MIT license so anyone — even people who'll never buy ImpForge — can read, fork, or redistribute them.

• impforge-templates — the template library
• impforge-skills — reusable AI agent skills
• impforge-mcp-manifests — the template.json v1 specification

Use them standalone with any tool you like. Or let ImpForge's engine turn them into live apps in one conversation. Your call, both work.

Trading that earns the right to trade.

ai_imp can follow your investment strategies — but no agent gets real money until it has proven itself. Every trading companion starts in paper mode. It stays there until it's racked up 200 winning sessions, with zero regressions, in market conditions below the VIX breaker threshold. Only then does promotion to real-money micro-trading unlock. You never wake up to a surprise.

Workspaces — Your personal command centers.

Create a "Coding" workspace: IDE on the left, terminal at the bottom, AI chat on the right. Create a "Trading" workspace: charts everywhere, news feed, portfolio tracker. Switch between them in one click.

Each workspace remembers everything — window positions, AI context, active tools, even which personality your AI was using.

It's like having multiple desktops on steroids. The kind of setup you've only seen in movies or on trading floors that cost EUR 10,000+. Except it's on your laptop, and the base version is free.

Our Privacy Promise

This isn't a section we added because lawyers told us to. This is why we built ImpForge.

We collect NOTHING.

Not analytics. Not usage data. Not error reports. Not "anonymized telemetry." Nothing. Zero. Null.

When you use ImpForge, no packet of data leaves your computer heading to our servers. We don't have servers that receive user data. We didn't build them. We don't want them.

We sell NOTHING.

Your conversations with the AI? Yours. Your documents? Yours. Your browsing habits? We don't even know them. There is no business model that involves your data. Our business model is: we make good software, you pay EUR 25/month if you want the pro features. That's it.

We track NOTHING.

No cookies. No analytics scripts. No "we use cookies to improve your experience." No fingerprinting. No device IDs. The app doesn't phone home. Not on launch. Not ever.

The AI runs on YOUR machine.

ImpForge's AI doesn't send your questions to a cloud API. It runs locally, on your hardware, using open-source AI models. Your conversations never touch the internet.

Military-grade encryption protects your data.

Every database on your machine is encrypted with AES-256 — the same standard used by governments and militaries. Protected by a separate password that even the AI cannot enter. Even if someone steals your laptop, they get encrypted noise.

Even other AI tools can't see it.

Using Cursor, Copilot, or Claude Code alongside ImpForge? They can read files on your disk — but ImpForge's databases look like random gibberish to them. Encrypted at rest. Always.

You're in 100% control. Always.

• Want to delete everything? One click. Gone. All data erased.
• Want to export your data? It's yours. Take it anywhere.
• Want to see what ImpForge knows about you? There's a dashboard for that.
• Want to use ImpForge without creating an account? There is no account. There never will be.

This is not marketing. This is architecture.

We didn't add privacy features after building the product. We built the product around privacy. The encryption, the local processing, the zero-collection policy — these aren't toggles you can turn off. They're how the software works at its core.

AiImp Technology's commitment: We will never collect, store, sell, share, or analyze any user data. Not today. Not when we're bigger. Not when investors ask us to. This is a founding principle, not a business decision.

Simple pricing. No tricks.

Free forever. No credit card. No trial. The free version is a real AI workstation — not a demo.

Founder's Edition: One-time EUR 750. Limited to first 500 licenses. App works forever. When the 500th license sells, the price goes up — it will never drop.

Trust, with receipts

We don't just say "we care about quality." We measure it. Every number below is re-checked before every release.

These aren't badges we bought. They are the output of cargo check, grep, and git log on the public build — you can re-run any of them yourself.

4 AI Models. 7.7 GB. Runs on any laptop.

Most AI tools need expensive cloud APIs or 32 GB of RAM. ImpForge runs 4 specialized AI models on your machine — even an 8 GB laptop.

Smart cascade routing: 60-70% of requests are handled by the tiny Classifier (instant). Only complex questions reach the Brain. This saves 3-5x compute.

Self-learning routing: The system tracks which model performs best for each type of task. After just 5 interactions, it automatically routes to the optimal model. It literally gets smarter the more you use it.

12-step quality pipeline: Every single AI response passes through privacy scanning, governance checks, quality validation, self-correction, PII scrubbing, cryptographic sealing, stigmergy trace, session context, evolution record, EU-compliance labelling, and module-memory feedback — automatically, invisibly, every time.

Board of Directors: For big decisions, the Brain simulates 10 executives (CEO, CTO, CFO, CMO, COO, CIO, CLO, CHRO, Analyst, Auditor) — each with a different perspective and temperature. They vote. You get a recommendation with dissenting opinions noted.

Works with every AI tool: 227 MCP tools organised into 13 namespace micro-servers (90% token savings vs monolithic). Claude Code, Cursor, JetBrains, Copilot, Windsurf — they all talk to ai_imp like a brother. Lazy schema loading: tool names first (~2K tokens), full schema on demand.

Selective Alignment: Your AI is helpful and safe. We don't ship a lobotomized model that refuses to write a port scanner. qwen3-imp helps with security research, creative writing, medical info, legal analysis — everything professional. But it firmly refuses violence, terrorism, fraud, and exploitation. No wholesale censorship. No wholesale uncensoring. Enterprise-grade balance.
