About Us

Meet a UK-based chatbot agency that loves to solve problems

Our History

The Bot Forge was founded in 2017 with a focus on Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and the immense potential of conversational AI. It was clear that chatbots, voice assistants, and automation were more than just trends—they were the future. However, many businesses struggled to harness this technology effectively. Success required more than just technical expertise; it needed a blend of engineering, conversation design, and copywriting. That’s where we came in.

Over the years, we’ve worked with businesses of all sizes across the globe, delivering chatbots, voice assistants, IVR solutions, and more. Our projects have been featured on Australian television, and we’ve collaborated with industry leaders, including through initiatives like the Supertech Serendip® Incubator, helping BNP Paribas Personal Finance leverage chatbot technologies.

Now, as a subsidiary of Coherence Consulting and part of the Cohaesus Group, we continue to push the boundaries of conversational AI. This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver best-in-class solutions, combining deep technical expertise with a broader network of digital transformation specialists.

Ranked among the UK’s leading chatbot and AI agencies, our goal remains the same: delivering innovative, effective AI solutions that make a real impact. And we’re just getting started.

Happy Clients

Testimonials

Jamie (Help For Heroes)

"I’m really pleased with the bot and services we’re getting from The Bot Forge. Since we started working with them, they completely lived up to their promises. The end-to-end process has been very slick.

The team was very straightforward to deal with. It was very much about them looking at how they could deliver in the quickest amount of time, with the least amount of investment required.

The Bot Forge understood our pain as a charity with a small team, and they took away a lot of the mystery and fluff from the process."

Chris (Director, Model Office)

"The Bot Forge provided custom software development services for a RegTech company. The team developed a compliance chatbot for the client's platform to provide guidance to their customers.

Excellent, very happy with the personalised services, accommodation of our specific needs within financial services. Their personable and innovative approach was impressive."

Emily (Xe.com)

"We came to The Bot Forge to gain an insight into Chatbot technology, its capabilities and its applications. We found them to be knowledgeable and insightful when discussing bots and AI.

We were particularly interested in how chatbots could help us save on customer service costs and provide a new channel for us to connect with new and existing customers.

The information which we obtained from speaking to The Bot Forge will be invaluable in making more informed decisions in the future about using this technology and we hope to work with them again."

Scott (CEO, Skin Check Champions)

"SPOT BOT has generated a few thousand unique users since its launch without any paid advertising or promotion. Every user is completely organic, spread (as designed) through shares and word of mouth, leading to thousands of skin checks booked and tens if not hundreds of skin cancers found.

A great first dip into the Messenger Bot pool which we're really excited to build on with Bot Forge as a vital partner... It's really lovely to work with them. Very clear communicators. Quick and efficient responses. Strong experience - well applied. BotForge are a really great partner, setting us up for success at all turns. Can't recommend this team enough."

Katie (Human Race Events)

"The Bot Forge offered a great service to us for the Saddleback Fred Whitton Challenge, which was really helpful for our customers and customer service team alike! They created a Facebook Chatbot based on the FAQs on the event website, which developed over time as more questions came up. Not only did this take some weight off our team and enhance customer experience, but it has also allowed us to better understand what information our riders are seeking, so that we can better answer their questions proactively through the website and social media. The team are always available at the drop of a hat, and eager to provide helpful solutions and developments."

Paul (Stitch)

"They’re responsive and organized, providing all the necessary information to track project progress.

The team is incredibly easy to work with. They took our idea and made it into reality."

Carolyn (Fred Whitton Challenge)

"I’m impressed with the chatbot it seemed to work well.

I think it is a good source of help and with it learning as it goes along it would answer lots of questions going forward.

If it cannot help it still contacts the organisers where we can answer."

Jack (Clifford Chance)

"The CIPS Professional Services Group (Procurement) approached The Bot Forge regarding consultancy and the creation of a demonstration Chatbot to support a conference presentation regarding industry 4.0 Technology. This was shown in front of ~100 Procurement professionals on December 2018 at Clifford Chance (London).

The Demonstration Chatbot was brilliant and we received really good feedback on the idea and execution. The Bot Forge perfectly met our requirements.

The team at Botforge will do everything they can to ensure your project is a success at the right price to suit budget! Would fully recommend!"
