# InnerForge

> InnerForge is a personalized AI coaching platform. Choose an AI coach, complete science-backed checkpoints, and deploy a coaching system tuned to your psychology into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Free and ad-supported.

InnerForge builds you Coach Instructions plus a Behavioral Profile — generated from short psychology checkpoints (Big Five, attachment theory, money scripts, Grit, stress-response patterns, etc.) — that you paste into ChatGPT Projects, Claude Projects, or Gemini Gems. From that point on, every conversation with the AI references your Behavioral Profile, so the coach gives advice calibrated to how YOU actually think rather than the statistical median.

This is not a chat app. There is no separate UI to learn. The coach lives inside the AI you already pay for.
