Four products for the work of government.

Setu, Foways Office, Foways Notebook and Foways Workers address different parts of a department’s day. Start with the task you need to support, then explore the product’s features and deployment requirements.

01Publish and create
Setu supports government portals; Foways Office brings documents, spreadsheets, presentations and PDF into an office suite.
02Research and act
Foways Notebook brings sources, notes and questions together. Foways Workers gives desktop tasks dedicated AI workers, with instructions, tools and routines.
03Plan the rollout
Discuss the users, workflow and operational requirements with Foways. Scope the product and deployment around your department’s needs.
Government CMS frameworkAvailable for government pilots

Setu

Compliant on the day you install it.

Setu is a Government-of-India-compliant CMS framework for departments and urban local bodies. It ships 100% compliant out of the box: every rule a framework can satisfy is already satisfied, and the rules that depend on how a portal is run are automated and enforced by AI so they stay satisfied.

Explore
  • 01

    Compliant is the default state

    setu init produces a site with GIGW page furniture, official-language-first locales — each deployment declares its own default from the 22 scheduled Indian languages plus English — the accessibility gate armed, maker–checker on, the audit chain running and retention configured. Nothing has to be switched on.

  • 02

    AI closes the other half

    The checks a framework cannot make — is this really in the declared language, is this alt text meaningful, is this notice readable — are made by AI on every publish, and a failure blocks the publish rather than filing a warning.

  • 03

    A publish gate, not a report

    Thirteen WCAG 2.2 AA and GIGW rules run over the parsed HTML of every page. Eleven of them stop the publish outright. An inaccessible page never reaches a citizen in the first place.

AI-native office suiteAvailable for government pilots

Foways Office

The AI in the office suite you already pay for.

Foways Office is an AI-native office suite — documents, spreadsheets, slides, PDF and Markdown — that runs on an Indian-government-approved AI stack. Departments already pay full subscription for an office suite whose AI is switched off in India because the data centres sit abroad. This one turns it on.

Explore
  • 01

    The AI is actually switched on

    Every generative feature runs on an approved Indian stack — Indian-origin models and open weights on Indian GPU infrastructure. Nothing leaves Indian territory, so nothing has to be disabled.

  • 02

    Real PDF editing, not annotation

    Retype text inside the page with the original fonts preserved, replace images in the content stream, fill forms, reorder pages and sign. No cover-up boxes, no re-export, no third-party tool.

  • 03

    Advanced spreadsheets, by description

    Ask for a model and get one: formulas, pivot tables, slicers, conditional formatting and charts built and traced for you — then the analysis written up beside it in plain language.

AI research workspaceOrganisation licences

Foways Notebook

Your sources. A clearer picture.

Foways Notebook is a Windows desktop research assistant for government teams that brings your sources, notes and questions into one workspace. Organise material into notebooks, explore it through conversation and review the evidence behind an answer. Your organisation provides the activation code and AI credits, so you can start without setting up a provider account.

Explore
  • 01

    A home for each line of research

    Group sources and notes into notebooks. Keep related material together as a brief develops, instead of rebuilding its context in every conversation.

  • 02

    Ask the material

    Discuss an individual source or work across a notebook. Follow references back to the material and check an answer before relying on it.

  • 03

    Keep the useful parts

    Capture findings as notes alongside your sources, ready to revisit as your understanding changes or a new question arrives.

AI desktop workersOrganisation licences

Foways Workers

Give the work a colleague.

Foways Workers is a Windows desktop app for government teams where every chat is an AI worker with its own instructions, conversation memory, tools and working folder. Workers help draft, research and work with files, with risky actions presented for your approval. Bring workers together in channels and schedule routines through your organisation’s Foways licence.

Explore
  • 01

    A worker for each role

    Give a worker a name, personality and standing instructions. Its thread retains the conversation, so the next request can build on the last.

  • 02

    Files, tools and your approval

    Workers read and write files in their working folder and can run commands. Risky actions come to you as allow-or-deny cards inside the conversation.

  • 03

    A team in one channel

    Bring several workers into a channel with shared instructions and a working folder. Import a team from a Markdown file and review it before creating anything.

Studio Products

Three products beyond government: a task manager, a country-data platform and an AI matchmaker.

Tasks

Quiet task management.

A calm, keyboard-first task manager built on Next.js and Convex — natural-language input, a daily Plan ritual, and a quiet Feed instead of notifications. Free for teams in beta.

worldgovdata

The modern statistical yearbook.

A free, keyless country-data platform that standardises official statistics — World Bank, UN agencies, OECD, Our World in Data — onto one comparable spine: 45.5 million observations, 23,376 indicators, 218 country profiles and a seven-tool analysis workbench.

One match at a time.

An AI matchmaker rather than a marketplace: it learns who you are in open conversation, then introduces you to exactly one person — three photos, a first name, and a written case for why her. Live face verification makes one person, one profile a constraint, not a rule.

// custom_briefs

We still take custom briefs.

Products are what we lead with now. The studio behind them hasn't gone anywhere: we still take a small number of custom builds each year — scoped up front, fixed price, engineered by the same senior team that ships the products.

Products FAQ

What is Setu?
Setu is a Government-of-India-compliant CMS framework for departments and urban local bodies. Everything a framework can guarantee is armed on install: GIGW 3.0 page furniture, WCAG 2.2 AA publish gates, a hash-chained audit trail, DPDP consent artefacts and RTI §4(1)(b) structure. The checks that depend on how a portal is actually run are enforced by AI on every publish.
Can Indian government departments use AI office tools?
They can, as long as the inference stays in India. In the mainstream office subscriptions the AI features are switched off for Indian government users, because they run in data centres abroad. Foways Office inverts that: Indian-origin models and open weights on Indian GPU infrastructure, so the half of the suite the price went up for is actually available.
Is Foways Office compliant with Indian data residency rules?
It is built so the question does not arise. Documents, prompts and inference all stay on Indian infrastructure, and the suite defaults to ODF for editable files and PDF/A for archival, as the Open Standards policy for e-governance requires. Certification, VAPT and empanelled hosting remain procedural steps per deployment, which we prepare the evidence for.
Does Foways still take custom projects?
Custom work continues alongside the products — a small number of briefs each year. The catalogue runs from enterprise AI platforms and internal tools to consumer apps, games and AI films. Every brief is scoped and quoted up front as a fixed price, and built by the same in-house team that engineers Setu and Foways Office.
What does Tier A compliance mean?
Tier A is the strictest classification for an Indian government digital system: a department or urban local body working directly with citizen data. It pulls in the full obligation set — DPDP, CERT-In reporting, GIGW 3.0 with its WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility baseline, official-language coverage, empanelled hosting inside India, and STQC certification before go-live. Setu gates on WCAG 2.2 AA, one level above the baseline.
How does a government department start a pilot?
Write to a director with the department, the scope and the timeline. We scope the pilot as one bounded piece of work — a single portal, or an office rollout in one wing — install it, and then run it against a real audit checklist before anyone commits to a wider deployment.
