# ARC

> ARC is an AI agent orchestration platform for macOS: conduct crews of AI agents on your Mac, then give them the keys to the business — Gmail, Slack, Notion and GitHub — with a person approving every write. An agent development environment (ADE) and agent super app (ASA) in one, written in Swift and built only for macOS.

ARC runs fleets of AI agents locally on a Mac. It connects Claude, GPT, Gemini and open-weight models, wires in MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, custom tools and the keys to your inboxes and accounts, and routes work across parallel agents. Two parts do the work: the Conductor turns a brief into a crew of builder, reviewer, tester and ship, holds them to a quality bar and shows the run in a control room; Circuits run that work over your business accounts on a schedule or on demand. Nothing moves without your say, and the keys never leave your Mac. ARC is 100% native Swift, Developer ID signed and notarized, with no cloud middleman.

## Definitions

- **AI orchestration**: coordinating many AI models, agents and tools so they work as one system: who takes which task, in what order, with what checks. ARC orchestrates AI agents on a Mac and gives them the keys to the business, with a gate on every write.
- **AI agent orchestration platform**: software that connects models, tools and machines, routes work between many AI agents, and keeps a person in control of what runs. ARC is one, written in Swift and built only for macOS.
- **Agent development environment (ADE)**: the successor to the IDE for agentic work — a place to launch, watch, review and merge the output of parallel coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI, each in its own git worktree.
- **Agent super app (ASA)**: one desktop app that runs every agent you use — coding agents, research agents, MCP tools, local and hosted models — from a single control plane, instead of a tab per vendor.
- **The Conductor**: ARC's orchestration core. Write a brief; it staffs a crew of builder, reviewer, tester and ship, holds them to the quality bar you set, and shows the whole run in a control room. A session can be handed from Claude Code to Codex mid-task.
- **Circuits**: the keys to the business. Agents run your routine over Gmail, Slack, Notion and GitHub, on a schedule or on demand: read the inbox, draft the reply, update the doc. Every write stops for your approval; a breaker trips if runs keep failing.

## How ARC works

- **Connect**: models, tools, machines and the keys to your accounts on one circuit.
- **Route**: the Conductor staffs the crew; a person can still say no.
- **Execute**: Circuits run the business on a schedule, metered to the cent, written down.

## Facts

- Models: Claude, GPT, Gemini, and open-weight models through a local runtime, on your own accounts and API keys
- Agents: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and other terminal agents, each in its own git worktree
- Accounts: Gmail, Slack, Notion, GitHub (Circuits), MCP servers and custom tools
- Control: a human-in-the-loop gate on every irreversible action; a breaker trips on repeated failures; every run metered to the cent
- Privacy: local-first — keys, code and prompts stay on the Mac; no cloud middleman
