Arcade Raises $12M to Solve AI Agent Authentication and Tool-Calling Challenges
Arcade, an AI agent infrastructure startup, has raised $12 million from Laude Ventures to address fundamental challenges with AI agent functionality. The company, founded by former Okta executive Alex Salazar and Redis engineer Sam Partee, pivoted from building AI agents to developing a tool-calling platform that enables agents to securely access data and services through OAuth integration.
Skynet Chance (-0.08%): This development actually reduces Skynet risks by creating infrastructure for controlled access and secure authentication, preventing AI models from directly accessing credentials and establishing guardrails for how AI agents interact with systems.
Skynet Date (+2 days): By addressing fundamental authentication and tool-calling challenges that currently limit AI agent functionality, Arcade's platform could slow deployment of fully autonomous agents in sensitive systems until proper security controls are established.
AGI Progress (+0.06%): This platform addresses a critical infrastructure gap in AI agent functionality, enabling more robust integration with real-world systems and data that is essential for agents to perform useful tasks beyond conversational abilities.
AGI Date (-3 days): By solving a key bottleneck in AI agent connectivity and authentication, Arcade accelerates the path toward more capable and interconnected AI systems that can take effective actions in the real world, bringing AGI capabilities closer.
