Arcwise
Arcwise uses AI to explain meaningful movements in business metrics from company data and documentation.
What Arcwise is
Arcwise uses AI to explain meaningful movements in business metrics from company data and documentation. It identifies performance shifts early, turns changes into decision-focused insights and produces deep-dive reports. Explanations are grounded and traceable, while teams can save validated explanations and decisions as reusable knowledge. Reports appear in the Arcwise app or can be embedded in documents and slides. Arcwise connects to Snowflake, BigQuery and Databricks, and users can add documents, definitions and operating logic as business context. Spreadsheet capabilities include formula generation, table transformation, spreadsheet analysis and custom functions. The product is offered through web and extension access; setup requires a Chrome extension that appears in Google Sheets, with Google OAuth 2.0 sign-in. Arcwise says it is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and uses Azure OpenAI for its AI Analyst. Pricing is on request.

Who it suits
It suits teams that analyse operational metrics and want explanations tied to internal data and documentation. Spreadsheet users working in Google Sheets, or teams using the listed data warehouses, may benefit most.
Verdict
