Overview
Arcanum builds the Numa platform to provide AI-powered productivity tools for small and medium-sized businesses, automating back-office tasks without requiring technical skills. Its AI assistants, such as Archie for accounts payable and Arcos for customer support, connect to a company’s data sources and software to perform data extraction, report summarization, and other repetitive work using technologies like Amazon Textract and Bedrock while keeping data secure. The company targets SMBs in sectors such as hospitality, construction, manufacturing, and financial services with a SaaS model, differentiating itself by focusing on ease of use and a secure, integrative approach rather than serving large enterprises. Arcanum aims to expand its suite of assistants into areas like sustainability, sales, and human resources and to grow its presence in the United States and Australia through a strategic collaboration with AWS.
