While you sleep, Arc works.

An illustrative night at a sample company.

  1. A card statement lands in the shared folder.

  2. Arc reads every line and sorts each payment.

  3. 17+ checks run again. A possible double payment to Staples is flagged.

  4. The year-end forecast updates itself.

  5. Your team walks in to answers, not a to-do list.

A finance desk that never clocks out

Catches it the day it happens

Double payments, unusual amounts, missed monthly charges, misfiled documents. Arc re-checks everything the moment a file arrives, shows you the evidence, and remembers when you say it’s fine.

A forecast that grades itself

Arc re-forecasts whenever your numbers change, then scores itself against what you actually spent. You always know how much weight each number can carry.

The right data for each person

Share Financial data, Policies, Contracts or Payroll and HR with exactly the people who need them. Every answer draws only on what the person asking may see.

Ask Arc. Get the source.

Plain-English questions, answers you can check. The database does the arithmetic, and every answer links to the rows and pages behind it.

See it in the app

Is a $210 dinner with two clients within our policy?

Yes. Client meals are covered up to CAD 150 per person, including tax and tip. With you and two clients the limit is CAD 450, so a CAD 210 dinner is well inside it.

Same rules as the app, same results on this data. In the app a local model also writes the reply in plain English; here Arc’s built-in rules answer, as they do when no model is loaded.

Reads the files you actually have

Messy is fine. PDFs and scans, spreadsheets, emails and whole mailboxes, ZIP archives and your synced cloud folders. Arc reads them where they live and never changes them.

  • PDF
  • Receipts
  • Word
  • Excel
  • CSV
  • Email
  • Mailbox exports
  • ZIP archives

  • Dropbox

Everything the cloud can’t promise

Cloud AI rents you someone else’s model, on someone else’s servers, on someone else’s terms. Arc is yours.

  • Your model, your call

    Pick the model, and upgrade when you are ready: bigger, newer, or the one you already trust. No surprise downgrades.

    Cloud AIThe provider decides. Reasoning gets turned down and models get retired on their schedule.

  • Your secrets stay in the building

    Every search, check and forecast runs on the Mac Studio in your office. Pricing, margins, contracts and trade secrets never leave.

    Cloud AIYour most sensitive data is processed on someone else’s servers, under terms that can change.

  • Always on, never metered

    Arc works 24/7/365 for one fixed monthly price. Ask as much as you like, with the whole team.

    Cloud AIEvery question and every background task adds to the token bill.

  • Still working when the internet isn’t

    Outages and dropped connections don’t stop Arc. It all runs right there in your office.

    Cloud AIWhen the provider or your connection goes down, so does your assistant.

  • A price locked for three years

    One fixed monthly fee for 36 months, with the hardware, models, support and updates included.

    Cloud AIPrices, plans and usage limits change whenever the provider decides.

How it works

  1. 1

    Point it at your folders

    Arc reads them in place and never modifies them.

  2. 2

    It works around the clock

    Every new file is read, checked and forecast, so each page opens with its numbers ready.

  3. 3

    Your team decides

    Arc does the watching and the arithmetic. People make the calls, and every correction is remembered.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Faraday Arc (Adaptive Reasoning Companion)?

Faraday Arc (Adaptive Reasoning Companion) is the always-on platform included in every Faraday Machines plan. It runs 24/7/365 on the Mac Studio in your office: it reads every new file in the folders you choose, re-runs 17+ checks, keeps the forecast current and answers questions from your own documents with the source attached.

How is Arc different from cloud AI assistants?

Arc is yours. You choose the model and when it changes, so there are no surprise downgrades. Every search, check and forecast runs on the Mac Studio in your office, so sensitive data never leaves the building. It works 24/7/365 for one fixed monthly price with no per-token bill, keeps working through internet outages, and the price is locked for the 36-month plan.

Does Arc send our files to the cloud?

No. The model, the search index and the records database all run on the Mac Studio in your office. The only outside connections are ones you start yourself, such as adding a file from a shared link.

What kinds of files can Arc read?

PDFs, including scanned ones, Word, Excel, CSV and text files, emails with their attachments, Apple Mail and Gmail mailbox exports, and ZIP archives. It reads them in place, including Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, SharePoint and iCloud folders synced to the Mac.

How does Arc keep its totals accurate?

The model never adds up numbers. It turns your question into a filter, such as a category, vendor or date range, and the records database does the arithmetic. Every total is shown with the rows behind it, and a payment that appears in two files is counted once.

How accurate is the Arc forecast?

Arc shows you. Each month it forecasts the last three complete months using only the data available before each one, compares the result with what was actually spent and reports the average error next to the forecast.

Can everyone on our team use Arc?

Yes. Each person signs in with their own email and password and sees totals, checks and answers only from the spaces shared with them: Financial data, Policies, Contracts, and Payroll and HR. The boundary sits in the database, before anything reaches the model.

Does Arc cost extra?

No. Arc is included in every Faraday Machines plan: Starter at $299, Growth at $599 and Scale at $999 a month on a 36-month plan, with the Mac Studio, open-weight models, support and updates.
