AcesForge

AcesForge is a one-person engineering consultancy in Christchurch, New Zealand, run by Toby Bell-Ramsay alongside his ongoing role at Tait Communications. It sells AI consulting and automation builds to Canterbury businesses, starting with a fixed $1,500 architecture review, plus custom software, website hosting and hardware bench testing for inventors. The firm publishes no client AI deployment. Its AI showcase is AliceHQ, a phone answering product the founder built and owns, which states it has no customers yet. The two named client projects, a courier quoting tool and a home-staging website, are conventional web builds, and the firm's own work page says so. Bell-Ramsay reports a 2025 internal engineering award from Tait. Treat this as an early-stage AI practice.
