EfficientEther has released a new version of EtherApps Forge. The release expands the platform's capabilities to help enterprise customers accelerate application migration, AI app packaging, remediation, and modernisation through secure, flexible AI integration, including a bring-your-own-AI-assistant model that supports Cursor, Copilot, Claude, Codex, local models, and other compatible AI environments.
The migration gap this release closes
Large-scale modernisation programmes consistently hit the same operational gap. The ambition to modernise is clear; the path to execution is not. Legacy installers, inconsistent packaging standards, undocumented dependencies, bespoke application behaviour, validation requirements, remediation needs, and environment-specific constraints all slow progress and add risk. This release of EtherApps Forge is designed to reduce that friction through AI-assisted workflows, curated packaging intelligence, app packaging support, remediation guidance, and stronger operational control for enterprise teams.
Bring your own AI assistant
Customers can connect EtherApps Forge to the AI tools they already use, including Cursor, Copilot, Claude, Codex, local models, and other compatible AI environments. Teams can use natural language to support application discovery, capture, packaging, and remediation workflows without being locked into a single AI interface or vendor-specific experience.
The flexibility lands on top of EfficientEther's wider approach to responsible software and AI development. The company recently achieved ISO/IEC 42001 certification, adding to existing ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 27001 credentials, so the BYO-AI experience sits inside a documented governance framework.
Enterprise customers want the benefits of AI, but they also want control, transparency, and trust. This release of EtherApps Forge is designed around that reality. It is not about replacing expertise or oversimplifying migration; it is about helping skilled teams move faster, improve first-pass outcomes, and work within the governance and security expectations enterprise environments demand.

Curated packaging intelligence
A key element of this release is curated packaging intelligence designed to improve consistency, remediation outcomes, and packaging fidelity. Forge identifies known application patterns and provides practical guidance, including silent install switches, uninstall commands, detection rules, likely blockers, remediation considerations, and packaging requirements, earlier in the process.
The approach is based on curated knowledge and controlled workflows rather than training systems on customer environments or sensitive application data. That supports organisations that want to accelerate modernisation while maintaining compliance, data protection, and operational oversight.
Extending EtherAssist coverage
The release also extends the value of EtherAssist, our AI technical assistant, which supports teams in documenting, troubleshooting, remediating, and mapping applications in greater detail. Combined with broader AI connectivity in EtherApps Forge, the result is a more practical and enterprise-ready model for AI-assisted application migration, packaging, and remediation.
As organisations modernise their estates, they do not need more hype around AI. They need software that fits into real enterprise operating models: flexibility in tooling, stronger governance, and a clear path from legacy application to modern deployment target. That is what this release is focused on delivering.
Colin Wright, Director, EfficientEther
