Intelligence-grade analysis at AI speed.
Do geopolitical research and analysis like the pros in a fraction of the time: scenario planning, bias detection, monitoring, report generation, and more.
ARC is an AI-powered engine with specialized capabilities for high-stakes analysis. Swiftly interpret global events and risks, whether you’re doing competitive analysis, risk assessment, crisis monitoring, or other research for consequential decisions.
Get Started with ARC
I wish I had had access to a tool like ARC when I was serving as a State Department diplomat and policymaker.
Adoption of ARC by national security and diplomatic agencies would significantly enhance analysis and decisionmaking. ARC can enforce rigorous methodologies and provide forecasting capabilities beyond current training. This would improve the clarity of U.S. Government analysis and the efficacy of policy decisions."
— Geoff Odlum, Former U.S. State Department Foreign Service Officer and Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of State
AI That Thinks Like an Intelligence Analyst
ARC isn't just another AI tool - it's purpose-built to replicate the methods used by the world's top analysts. Developed in collaboration with intelligence professionals, corporate strategists, and policy experts, ARC transforms complex analytical processes into intuitive, AI-powered workflows.
Start with a critical question or issue you would like to explore — called your "ARC," then watch as ARCbot gets to work drafting the building blocks of your analysis.
Scenario Development
Generate and refine future scenarios with precision. Explore possible outcomes and track their likelihood over time. Reduce uncertainty with scenario assessments that create strategic foresight.
Decomposition
Automatically map drivers and signals using structured analytical techniques pioneered by legendary CIA analyst Richard Heuer. Break down complex problems into their component parts to identify key influencers and measurable signals. Accomplish in seconds what used to require multi-day workshops with experts.
Crowdsourced Forecasting
Solicit crowdsourced probabilistic predictions from colleagues or network directly in ARC – or leverage one of Cultivate’s partner sites to capture an informed public perspective. Gain human insight that’s still essential for high-stakes issues.
Global Intelligence Monitoring
ARC continuously scans the global information landscape in near real-time, identifying relevant sources, translating from local languages, summarizing key points, and analyzing for bias. Ensure you never miss a critical signal.
Advanced Cognitive Bias Detection
Deploy powerful "red teaming" methods to identify analytical blind spots in both your writing and sources. Deliver assessments without the cognitive biases that affect even the sharpest analysts—before they shape key decisions.
Policy & Decision Drafts with Risk Identification
Give ARC an objective and it will draft options for policies or decisions to implement. ARC will also identify risks to be mindful of if you are to implement any of the policies or decisions. You can even draft your own policy or decision and ARC will still identify possible risks.
Collaboration
ARC is designed to let AI be your co-pilot on analytic tasks. You are free to add, remove, and edit anything it creates. You can also invite as many people as you’d like to collaborate with you or view your work.
Auto-Generated Outputs
ARC provides a myriad of export features so results can be shared easily to documents, presentations, or even your social media accounts if you make your ARC public.
LLM Agnostic
ARC is LLM agnostic. Its default is to use OpenAI's ChatGPT, but private instances can point to other LLM’s, even internal ones.
Hosting and Security
ARC is hosted at Amazon AWS and increases reliability through redundancy, daily backups, and a disaster recovery plan.
Private, isolated ARC instances and on-premise instances are possible for additional cost. Please contact us for more information.
Whether our shared or public instance, ARC has:
- Server to browser strong SSL encryption
- Encrypted data at rest
- Firewalled and monitored servers
- Managed stack maintenance
- Data retention
- Two-factor authentication
