Features
Everything in one workspace
Foundry brings writing, review, progress and research into one place, so nothing lives in someone's inbox.
Write together in real time
Open a document with your colleagues and see each other's changes as they happen. It is a clean, familiar editor with headings, lists and tables, and no files to pass around.
- Live co-editing, with everyone's position shown
- Comments on any passage, with replies
- Resolved comments record who and when
- Export to Word (.docx) or PDF
Agree what done means
A short wizard lets the project owner set out the steps, what each one requires, and its definition of done. Nothing is filled in for you, because every project is different.
- Steps shown in order as a stepper
- Requirements ticked by the team, with who and when
- The owner records each decision, with a reason
- Anything done early is shown as an exception, not hidden
Ask your own documents
The chat reads the documents in your project and answers from them, naming each one it used. If it finds nothing relevant, it says so.
- Answers name and link the documents used
- BIRI references with ratings, unchanged
- Only uses documents you are allowed to read
- Runs on your own AI key
Built for real teams
Roles for everyone
Owners run the project, editors write and tick requirements, and viewers read and comment.
Bring your own AI
OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, Cloudflare Workers AI, Ollama, or any OpenAI-compatible service.
Access changes at once
Remove someone and their open documents close. Change their role and it applies straight away.
The Foundry toolkit
More from the Foundry engine
Foundry began as a desktop tool for producing evidence-linked reports. These abilities exist in that tool today and are not yet in the web workspace.
A library of 21 skills
Covering research, sustainability, workflow and writing, including ESG reporting, GIS and mapping, environmental modelling, and fact verification.
Reading your sources
Markdown, text, CSV, Excel, PDF and Word files, turned into material a report can cite.
Word reports and tracked changes
Real Word reports built by code, and revisions made as true tracked changes that keep images and tables.
A tamper-evident record
Each run leaves a hash-chained ledger of what was done.
