One screen where your world arrives ready
The Surface is the product. Work arrives prepared, evidenced, and awaiting your commit. Agent activity in teal. Your decisions in white. The permanent record in green. You do not visit ten systems to run your world. Your world rises to you.
Queue, context, trail
Every item passes through three phases: the grid prepares it with evidence, you review it in the queue, and your decision writes to the permanent trail. That loop runs across everything on the Surface.
The Queue
Prepared work, triaged and waiting on you. Each item states what is proposed, why now, and what happens if you say yes. Most reviews take less time than reading the email would have. Nothing enters the queue unless the grid has done the preparation work first.
The Context view
Every item carries its evidence. What the grid read, what it checked, what it assumed, and what it flagged. Trust is inspectable, not requested. If the evidence is thin, you can see that too. You can edit, redirect, or decline with the full picture in front of you.
The Trail
Every decision, by whom, on what evidence, written permanently. The trail is a first-class screen, not a buried log. Your compliance story, your audit answer, and your institutional memory, writing themselves as you work.
One platform. Every layer of the work.
The Surface ships with purpose-built modules that cover how professional firms actually operate. No integration patchwork required.
Work intake, task tracking, and a prioritized queue. Every item arrives prepared and ready for your decision.
AI session workspace. Route queries to local or frontier models, track session history, and monitor cost in one place.
Time logged where work happens. Submit timesheets, approve actuals, and reconcile billable hours without leaving the platform.
Structured knowledge with version history, categories, and tags. The living record of how your firm operates.
Team messaging built in. Persistent channels, direct messages, and thread history alongside the work.
Visual workflow canvas. Triggers, approval gates, scheduler, webhooks, and run replay for every execution.
Voice and video built into the platform. No external conferencing tool required.
Client records linked to projects, time entries, and communications. The full picture in one place.
Scheduling tied to your work. See what's due, what's blocked, and who has capacity.
Workload views and progress reports across projects, clients, and team members.
You always know whose hand is on the work
The Surface enforces one visual law. The distinction between agent activity and human authority is structural, not decorative. A draft can never be mistaken for a decision.
Agent proposed it
Prepared, evidenced, and waiting. It has no effect yet. Nothing a teal item says has happened.
A person decided it
Named, timestamped, and owned. This is the only way anything actually happens. White is authority.
On the record
Committed, executed, and written to the trail for good. Green means it is done and attributable.
The propose-and-commit loop
The Surface is not a chat interface or a task list. It is the visible end of a continuous loop that runs beneath it. Agents prepare. The Surface presents. You commit. The trail records.
The grid prepares
Specialist agents monitor your queues, draft deliverables, reconcile records, and research. All of it marked as proposed work, never as done. The work is ready before you ask for it.
The Surface presents
Prepared work rises to your queue for fast, confident review. What is proposed, why, what was checked, and what happens if you say yes. All in one screen, without chasing context.
You commit
A named person approves, edits, or declines. Only then does anything leave the building. An email sends, a filing posts, a record updates. Nothing without human authority.
The trail records
Every decision, by whom, on what evidence, written to a permanent approval trail. Your compliance story, your institutional memory, and your audit answer, written as you work.
Runs where you choose
The Surface runs on managed cloud, on hardware you own, or across both. The approval gate and the trail work exactly the same regardless of what runs underneath.
Live in days
ArcGrid runs on our managed infrastructure. Your data isolated, encrypted, and exportable. The fastest path to a running Surface.
Start an engagement →Your walls, your rules
The full grid on hardware you own. Inference stays local, egress is allowlisted by name, and sensitive work never leaves the building.
View Field Units →Built to spec
Custom integrations, agent stacks, and deployment architectures for operations that don't fit a standard posture.
Custom Build →Agent packs do the preparation
The Surface presents what the packs prepare. Each pack is a curated agent stack for a recurring workflow: content, storage, finance, communications. Drop in what you need, skip what you don't.
ArcLoom
Drafts, edits, and prepares content for your review. Social copy, long-form, client reports, and more.
ArcLoom →ArcStor
Organises, tags, and surfaces files. Your document layer, structured and searchable, managed on the Surface.
ArcStor →FinMo
Monitors cashflow, flags anomalies, prepares reconciliations. Every action proposed, never executed without your commit.
FinMo →For the full technical picture
The Platform section covers every dimension of how the Surface and the grid beneath it are built, governed, and deployed.
