Building software should no longer be reserved for developers

For decades, developing a professional application required specialist technical skills, significant budgets and several months of work.

Artificial intelligence is turning that reality upside down. Today, an idea expressed in a few sentences can become the starting point of a real application. Platforms such as Lovable, Bolt and Replit have done a great deal to democratise this new generation of development.

But one question remains essential: once the application exists, how do you integrate it into the business, protect its data, keep it running and make it evolve?

That is precisely the question Neoo built Neoo Forge to answer.

Neoo Forge: from idea to application, then to running it

Neoo Forge is an AI-assisted software creation platform, designed to let businesses, entrepreneurs and professionals build their own applications without having to master programming.

The principle is simple: the user describes their need in plain language and Forge helps them build the matching solution.

A transport company can design its own delivery tracking system. An accounting firm can build a collaborative portal for its clients. An entrepreneur can create a booking application. An IT manager can automate an internal process.

Forge turns these needs into data structures, interfaces, business rules and automations. But unlike an approach limited to generating an application, Neoo intends to support its entire lifecycle.

Creation, hosting, security, user management, automations, maintenance and operations: the aim is to bring all of these together in a single ecosystem.

A Belgian alternative to Lovable and the international giants

The market for AI software creation is accelerating dramatically. Lovable, Bolt and Replit illustrate this shift by making it possible to design applications quickly from simple instructions.

Neoo Forge is part of this revolution, with a particular ambition: to bring application creation closer to the operational requirements of businesses. Where many platforms mainly emphasise the speed of creation and publishing, Neoo Forge focuses on continuity between design, business integration and operations.

The platform rests on several principles:

  1. Accessible creation

    Describe an idea or a business need and build an application step by step.

  2. A professional environment

    Bring in the users, permissions, data and processes the application needs to run.

  3. Controlled infrastructure

    Host and run applications in a professional environment located in Belgium.

  4. Native integration with Neoo

    Extend the Business OS without multiplying standalone software.

  5. An approach built to grow

    Let the application grow with the business and its needs.

The ambition, then, is not simply to add one more alternative to AI-assisted development tools.

Neoo wants to let businesses build their own software environment, rather than constantly adapting their organisation to the limits of existing software.

Digital sovereignty at the heart of the project

As European businesses speed up their adoption of artificial intelligence, digital sovereignty is becoming a strategic question. Where is the data hosted? Who runs the infrastructure? Which technology dependencies are introduced? How do you guarantee business continuity?

Neoo Forge offers a Belgian answer to these concerns. The platform is developed in Belgium and relies on the cloud infrastructure operated by Neoo Core, built on the long-standing expertise of NET Computer Group and Cloudbizz.

This infrastructure, hosted in Belgian datacentres, draws on long experience in running professional IT environments, security, backups and service continuity.

For Neoo, however, sovereignty is not just about where a server sits. It also means letting businesses keep control of their data, their business rules and their decisions.

At a time when a growing share of European software depends on international platforms, Neoo stands for another vision: innovating with artificial intelligence while keeping local control over your infrastructure and your applications.

Much more than an app generator: a complete ecosystem

Neoo Forge is one of the pillars of Neoo, the Business OS developed by the Belgian group. Neoo already brings many essential business functions together in one platform: CRM, quotes, invoicing, projects, inventory, subscriptions, customer support, financial management and automations.

With Forge, businesses are no longer limited to standard modules. They can imagine and create the features specific to their activity.

A manufacturer can build a production tracking module. A construction company can build its own site management tool. A services firm can design a portal for its clients. These applications can stand alone or integrate with an existing Neoo environment.

This approach also opens opportunities for IT integrators, consultants and software publishers who want to build industry solutions. Over time, the Neoo Marketplace ecosystem is intended to let applications and modules be distributed to other businesses.

An idea developed to meet an internal need could thus become a product sold to hundreds of other companies.

A platform designed to turn an idea into a business

With Neoo Forge, the group also wants to make starting a software company more accessible.

An entrepreneur spots a need in their market. They describe the project to Forge, build the application, then can rely on the Neoo ecosystem to prepare the launch. Infrastructure, user access, subscriptions, invoicing and management tools can all be brought together around the application.

This approach aims to reduce the technical and operational complexity traditionally involved in launching SaaS software. The entrepreneur can spend more time on their trade, their clients and the commercial growth of their idea. The From ideas to SaaS journey describes this path in detail.

A gradual opening from October 2026

Ahead of its official launch planned for 1 January 2027, Neoo Forge enters an invitation-only early access phase today.

This first opening is aimed in particular at entrepreneurs, SME leaders, developers, IT integrators and technology partners who want to try the platform and help shape it.

Selected participants will discover Forge ahead of release, build their first projects and share their feedback directly with the Neoo teams. This period will validate professional use cases, enrich the features and gradually prepare the commercial opening.

The goal is to put the quality of the first deployments and closeness to users first, before wider availability.

A Belgian ambition with an international outlook

Neoo Forge was born from a conviction: the next great software platforms will not be built only in Silicon Valley. Europe has the talent, the expertise and the infrastructure it needs to develop its own technologies.

With Neoo Forge, the group intends to show that a Belgian technology company can play a full part in transforming the global software market.

“For a long time, businesses have had to adapt their ways of working to the software available. With Neoo Forge, we want to reverse that logic. From now on, software must adapt to the ideas and needs of businesses. And we want to show that this revolution can be led from Belgium.”

Nicolas D’hondt, CEO of Neoo Core
