Get Started with ChainForge
Learn how to build, test, and deploy AI prompt chains in minutes
Quick Start Guide
Create Your Account
Sign up for free - no credit card required. You'll get 3 chains and 25 executions per month to start.
Add Your API Keys
Connect your AI provider API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google). Your keys are encrypted and stored securely.
Build Your First Chain
Use our chain builder to create multi-step workflows. Start with one of 15+ templates or build from scratch.
Test and Execute
Run your chain and see the results in real-time. Iterate until it's perfect.
Core Concepts
Chains
A chain is a sequence of AI prompts that flow together. Each step can use different AI models and build upon previous outputs.
Executions
An execution is a single run of your chain. Track all executions to monitor usage and debug issues.
API Keys
Your API keys connect ChainForge to AI providers. Keys are encrypted at rest and never shared with third parties.
Templates
Pre-built chains for common workflows. Clone and customize templates to save time.
Track Your ROI
ChainForge automatically calculates the time and money you save with every execution
Automatic Time Tracking
Every chain execution calculates estimated manual time vs. AI completion time. See exactly how many hours you've saved.
Monetary Value
Set your hourly rate to see the dollar value of time saved. View your ROI multiple (e.g., 34x return on investment).
Usage Analytics
Comprehensive dashboard showing total executions, chains created, most-used workflows, and engagement metrics.
Cost Transparency
See token usage and estimated API costs for each execution. Understand exactly what you're spending across OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini.
Common Use Cases
Content Generation Pipeline
Generate blog outlines with GPT-4, write content with Claude, then optimize for SEO with Gemini.
Research & Summarization
Extract key information from documents, synthesize insights, and generate executive summaries.
Data Analysis Workflow
Clean data with one model, analyze patterns with another, then generate visualizations and reports.
Customer Support Automation
Classify support tickets, generate responses, and route to appropriate teams.
Enterprise-Ready Security
Built with security and compliance in mind from day one
AES-256-GCM Encryption
All API keys are encrypted at rest using military-grade AES-256-GCM encryption. Keys are only decrypted during execution and never logged or exposed.
Row-Level Security
Database-level security policies ensure users can only access their own data. Multi-tenancy architecture prevents cross-user data leaks.
Audit Logging
Comprehensive event tracking logs all user actions for compliance and debugging. Track who did what, when, and why.
API Reference
Execute Chain
Execute a chain with custom input parameters. Returns execution results and metadata.
Manage API Keys
POST /api/api-keys
DELETE /api/api-keys?id=key_123
Manage your AI provider API keys programmatically. All keys are encrypted at rest.
