Fora AI started from a simple complaint: most static analysis tools are built for security teams, not for the developer who just wants to know if the code they wrote this afternoon is safe to ship.
Most vulnerability scanners are designed around compliance reporting — long PDFs, dashboards full of severity charts, findings written in language that assumes you already know what a CWE identifier is. They're useful if your job is security. They're mostly noise if your job is building the product.
We wanted something different: paste a function, upload a file, or drop in a whole project, and get back exactly two things — what's wrong, and what to change. No onboarding call. No seat-based pricing before you've seen a single result. No jargon you have to look up before the report makes sense.
The core of Fora AI is a rule engine that runs entirely on your code, with no external API call required, checking for the vulnerability patterns that show up most often in real Django, Python, and JavaScript codebases — SQL injection, hardcoded secrets, CSRF gaps, insecure deserialization, and the rest of the OWASP Top 10. It works the moment you sign up, with zero configuration.
On top of that, the scanner can optionally call a large language model — OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, or Groq, whichever you configure — to catch the kind of issue that pattern-matching alone can't: a checkout endpoint that trusts a client-supplied price, an authorization check that's missing rather than broken, a business-logic flaw that only makes sense in the context of what the code is trying to do.
A report that says "SQL injection detected" and stops there isn't much more useful than not scanning at all — you still have to go figure out the fix yourself. Every issue we surface comes with a plain-language explanation of why it's dangerous and a working, secure code example for the language you're writing in, because the point isn't to generate a list of problems. It's to get the code fixed.
I'm Faizan — the person behind Fora AI. Before this, I was on the other side of the screen: pushing code to production, then getting the 2 AM Slack ping about the SQL injection someone found live. I've made the mistakes this tool is built to catch. Fora AI isn't a security company pitching you a platform. It's one developer's answer to a problem every developer knows too well: you move fast, and security review happens too late — if it happens at all. So I built the scanner I actually needed — no vendor pitch, no seven-step sales call. Just paste your code and see what's really wrong with it
