Founding Story

Arcade was founded in early 2024 by Alex Salazar and Sam Partee. They initially set out to build an AI agent for diagnosing website and mobile app problems (site reliability). During development, they discovered that the underlying infrastructure layer they created to connect large language models securely to various services was the real breakthrough. They pivoted from building a specific agent to providing the underlying authentication and tool-calling infrastructure for all AI agents. The founders emphasized maintaining high-quality engineering standards to counter the risks of rapid AI-generated code. Their vision involves AI agents that can handle communications, scheduling, and manage users' inboxes, calendars, and social media accounts securely.
