The company’s AI assistant is designed to have comprehensive knowledge about campaign performance and automate various day-to-day marketing tasks.

The platform integrates with various marketing channels, such as content, organic, paid, social, and email, allowing marketers to centralize their data and tasks within one platform.
Arcane’s AI co-pilot works behind the scenes to automate mundane tasks, provide real-time assessment and reporting on campaigns, and recommend next steps. It acts as a digital brain for marketers, capturing the majority of their current workload by completing over 100 tasks. The company is continuously developing new tasks to enhance the capabilities of its AI co-pilot. While currently in closed beta, Arcane is inviting marketers to join their waitlist sign-ups as they prepare for an open beta launch later this quarter.
