About Arcten

We're AI researchers from Caltech who have built infrastructure for production-grade AI agents many times. Through our research and industry experience, we've seen firsthand how difficult and time-consuming it is to build the underlying infrastructure needed to deploy intelligent agents at scale.

Every company faces the same challenges: managing vector databases, implementing RAG systems, handling model routing and optimization, building observability tools, and ensuring security and compliance. We've solved these problems repeatedly, and we know there's a better way.

Our mission is to enable companies to ship intelligent AI agents in minutes, without having to build infrastructure from the ground up. We've taken everything we've learned from building production AI systems and packaged it into a platform that handles the complexity for you.

With Arcten, you can focus on what makes your product unique—the agent logic, the user experience, and the business value—while we handle the infrastructure, observability, security, and scaling challenges that every AI application needs.

We're AI researchers from Caltech who have published in top conferences in AI: NeurIPS and CVPR. We pride ourselves in our work and are always operating at the cutting edge of AI. Moreover, we're developers who understand what product teams need.

At launch, we plan to be fully open source and self-hostable. We believe that companies should have control over their AI infrastructure and the ability to run it on their own infrastructure when needed.

Whether you choose our managed platform or self-host the entire stack, you'll have access to the same powerful features: deep integrations with your codebase, institutional-grade RAG, intelligent model routing, full observability, and enterprise-ready security and compliance.
