PRODUCT + PLATFORM
The software for your workshop. The network around it.
Converged runs your operations. 4IR.club gives your company a hosted option, a standardized public profile, and a route for AI agents to send you work.
4IR.club
The platform and ecosystem: hosted Converged, Company Registry, Module Registry infrastructure, shared AI and voice services, Enterprise implementation, and environment management.
An agent searches
The Registry API searches companies by equipment, capabilities, processes, materials, geography, and other structured criteria.
It finds your company
You provide machine models through the administration chat. 4IR.club resolves them against the equipment catalog and builds a normalized capability profile.
It sends a request
An external LLM or autonomous agent selects a matching company and sends an RFQ or business request through 4IR.club gateways.
With Club or Enterprise, your company gets a company.4ir.club identity and a profile that buyers and AI agents can search by real production capability.

Run it yourself, use the hosted 4IR service, or have our team implement it in your own environment.

4IR REGISTRY
Let buyers and AI agents find your workshop
The Registry turns your equipment and capabilities into a searchable company profile, then gives matching agents a standard way to send you RFQs.

Questions before you choose
How does Club differ from Enterprise?
Club runs in a 4IR.club-operated shared cloud environment. Enterprise runs inside your company's infrastructure: your accounts, keys, data, and provider relationships remain yours while 4IR.club implements and operates the system.
Can we move between levels?
Yes. All levels use a compatible standard data model. Free → Club, Free → Enterprise, and Club → Enterprise are supported. Moving back to Club requires Enterprise-only and incompatible self-hosted Modules to be removed or replaced.
How are custom Modules published?
A Module is published as open-source source code. 4IR.club automatically validates its interface and packaging, runs LLM-assisted security analysis, and builds it inside the controlled Registry environment. Club runs only approved cloud-safe Modules.
What does Club pricing include?
The annual fee covers membership, hosted operation of the standard platform, and Registry participation. Compute, storage, AI, voice, and telephony are metered separately at underlying cost without a 4IR.club commercial markup, except applicable taxes.
