Who We Are

Intelligent insight, made in New Zealand

AetherForge AI operates under FORGE INTELLIGENCE LIMITED, a New Zealand limited company. The product covers NZX, ASX, US equities, crypto and precious metals in one NZD paper book. It started as an NZX and ASX monitor. It does not place trades — you stay in control of every decision at your own broker.

Our Story

A note from our founder

I was born and raised right here in New Zealand, on a farm in the North Island. I left school at 15 and worked hard in various labouring roles through my early twenties before training as a butcher and travelling around the country.

Traditional jobs never quite felt right for me. In my free time I poured my energy into tinkering with computers — software, hardware, anything I could get my hands on. There was no grand plan; I was simply fascinated by how things worked.

When AI started becoming accessible to everyone, I had an idea. What if I could build my own AI tool to keep an eye on the New Zealand and Australian stock markets? I began with a simple bot designed to monitor the NZX and ASX and alert on news that could move the markets.

After several versions, I kept working on the notes so they would be clear. The product stayed a paper book: it watches markets and writes them down. It does not place a trade.

I looked at what else was available. Plenty of AI tools want to take over your trading decisions completely. That wasn't my vision at all.

“I want you to stay in control.”

My goal is to put plain-English market information in front of you, and leave every decision with you. You add your portfolio, note the levels you care about, and place any trade yourself.

A point of difference: plain-English AI notes across NZX, ASX, crypto and metals in NZD.

So I built AetherForge AI for my fellow New Zealanders. The notes are there to read. The decision stays yours.

“I'm not here to take a cut of your success. I genuinely want to see everyday Kiwis do well.”

Everyday New Zealanders should be able to read market information and keep the decision. That is what I built this for.

It is with real pride that I launch AetherForge AI — created in New Zealand, for New Zealanders, and operated by a New Zealand limited company.

Why AetherForge AI?

A different kind of market intelligence

Most tools want to take the wheel. We hand it back to you — with the clarity to drive confidently.

We don't trade for you

You stay in control. The product writes down what the figures show. Any buy, sell, or level you note is your decision, at your own broker.

NZX, ASX, US markets, crypto and metals

Built for New Zealand investors. Covers NZX and ASX listings, major US stocks, crypto and precious metals, with prices shown in NZ$ where a rate is available.

No profit share, ever. Completely transparent

We never take a cut of your gains. What you earn is entirely yours. Clear, honest and straightforward — the way it should be.

A genuine desire to see everyday Kiwis succeed

This was built by one of you, for all of us — to stand beside everyday New Zealanders and help us move forward together.

Market information for everyday New Zealanders. Every decision stays yours.

AetherForge AI is a paper book and a set of notes. It does not take a share of a result, and it does not place a trade.
