One platform, many jobs

Run it as whatever your team needs.

Red Arch is a general-purpose organizational platform. The same secure foundation powers a knowledge base, a CRM, a support desk, HR, training, AI agents, and the custom apps in between.

Knowledge base

A single, searchable source of truth for everything your organization knows.

Custom CRM

Track customers, contacts, and deals with custom records and pipelines.

Support ticketing

Log, route, and resolve tickets — with workflows and SLAs driving every stage.

HR management

Run onboarding, reviews, and offboarding with automated access provisioning.

LMS & training

Build courses, quiz, run AI-graded scenarios, and certify your people.

Agentic systems

Give an AI agent real tools to build and operate your org — scoped by role.

Content management

Organize documents into folders with versioning and per-item permissions.

Custom org apps

Model any data, design forms and views, and automate it with workflows.

What's inside

One secure foundation. Every capability.

Everything below runs on the same role-based core — so no matter how you use Red Arch, access control is never an afterthought.

AI Chat

Ask your knowledge anything and get answers with citations you can trust — scoped to what each person is allowed to see.

Content Management

Store and organize every document into folders and spaces, with fine-grained permissions on each one.

Workflow Automation

Design no-code workflows that trigger on forms, schedules, and events — routing approvals, running AI steps, and calling your other systems.

Customer Integration

Model customers, contacts, and deals as records — a full CRM that lives right next to your knowledge.

Learning Management

Turn documents into courses, quiz, run AI-graded scenarios, and certify — all from the knowledge you already have.

Data & Reporting

Model custom records, then turn them into live dashboards and reports — with multi-org isolation built in.

AI chat

Answers, not just search results.

Red Arch reads your content and answers in plain language — with every claim linked back to the exact passage it came from. Ask a question, get a cited answer, and jump straight to the source.

  • Cited, passage-level answers grounded in your content
  • Semantic + keyword search across every folder
  • Answers respect each user's role and permissions

Content management

Every document, governed by role.

Organize your content into folders and spaces, then decide exactly who can see and edit each one — by region, department, role, or group. Permissions flow straight through to search and AI chat, so no one ever gets an answer they weren't cleared for.

  • Folders, versioning, and rich document editing
  • Per-document and per-folder access control
  • Permissions inherit, so security scales without busywork

Compliance / EU Policies Restricted
Region: EU Role: Compliance Group: Legal Region: US — no access

Customer integration

A CRM that lives with your knowledge.

Define the records that matter — customers, contacts, deals, tickets — connect them with relationships, and drive them through custom pipelines. It's a flexible data platform, so your customer data and your knowledge finally sit in one system.

  • Custom entities, records, and relationships
  • Forms, views, and pipelines with no code
  • REST API & signed webhooks to connect your stack

Workflow automation

Automate the work around your knowledge.

Design workflows visually with a no-code BPMN builder — no scripts, no glue code. Trigger on a form submission, a schedule, an event, or an incoming webhook; branch on conditions; run AI steps; send emails; update records; and reach your other systems with signed webhooks and a full REST API. The busywork runs itself.

  • Visual, no-code BPMN workflow designer
  • Triggers on forms, schedules, events & inbound webhooks
  • AI steps, approvals, branching & notifications
  • Signed webhooks + REST API to connect your stack

Learning management

From knowledge to competence.

Build courses straight from your content, then measure understanding. Learners move through slides and videos, pass server-graded quizzes, and prove skills in AI-graded scenario simulations before earning a certificate.

  • Courses generated from your own documents
  • Server-graded quizzes & AI-graded scenarios
  • Certificates and per-learner progress dashboards

Build with AI · MCP

Just tell your AI assistant what to build.

Red Arch ships a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Point Claude, Cursor, or your favorite coding LLM at it, describe what you need in plain language, and it builds your entities, forms, views, reports, and workflows for you — right inside your org, respecting your permissions.

  • An MCP server for your favorite coding LLM — Claude, Cursor & more
  • Generate entities, forms, views, reports & workflows from a prompt
  • Permission-aware — the assistant only touches what you're allowed to
  • Iterate by conversation instead of clicking through builders

More capabilities

Enterprise-ready, out of the box.

Beyond the apps you build, Red Arch ships the platform features a serious deployment needs — single sign-on, AI agents, release management, and a full API to wire it into everything else.

Single sign-on (SSO)

Sign in once through your identity provider — enterprise authentication, no extra passwords to manage.

AI agents

An assistant with real tools — it builds entities, runs workflows, and manages content, always within each user's permissions.

Release management

Promote configuration from dev to staging to production, with lineage tracking and side-by-side diffs before every deploy.

Enterprise REST API

A versioned REST API covering entities, records, reports, workflows, and search — ready for any integration.

Scoped API keys

Issue org-scoped keys with fine-grained read/write scopes and per-key, per-IP rate limits.

Signed webhooks

HMAC-signed inbound and outbound webhooks connect Red Arch to the rest of your stack, securely.

Import & export

Move an entire organization — entities, forms, views, workflows, and records — as one portable bundle.

Multi-org isolation

Every organization is separated at the database level with row-level security, so tenants never bleed together.

Role-based security

Every answer respects who's asking.

Role-based access is the heart of Red Arch, not a plugin. Grant access by region, department, role, and group, and it holds everywhere — documents, records, search, and AI chat all obey the same rules. Multi-tenant isolation keeps organizations fully separated at the database level.

Region / Dept / Role / Group access SSO authentication Per-document permissions Multi-tenant isolation Audit-ready activity

Under the hood

Built on a modern, open stack.

No black boxes. Red Arch runs on proven open-source infrastructure you can self-host — a knowledge graph, a vector store, a Postgres database, and an LLM, all wired together behind one API.
