What Arcwise is
Arcwise uses AI to explain meaningful changes in business metrics, drawing on company data and documentation. It aims to identify performance shifts early and turn them into decision-focused insights and detailed reports. Teams can add documents, metric definitions and operating logic to provide business context, then save validated explanations and decisions for reuse. Arcwise connects to Snowflake, BigQuery and Databricks. Reports can appear in the Arcwise app or be embedded in documents and slides. Spreadsheet capabilities include formula generation, table transformation, spreadsheet analysis and custom functions. The product is listed for web and extension use, though setup requires a Chrome extension that appears in Google Sheets; users sign in with Google OAuth 2.0. Arcwise says it is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and does not store sensitive business data. Pulled data is cached only while an operation runs, while metadata such as table and column names may persist. The company says its AI Analyst uses Azure OpenAI and that AI interactions are not used for model training. Pricing is available on request.
