Developer Tools AI Agents API SDK Automation Authentication Integrations

Overview

Arcade is a developer platform that extends AI assistants beyond conversation, enabling them to take real actions across third-party services. It provides a toolkit and runtime for connecting language models to APIs, handling authentication, and executing workflows on behalf of users. The platform focuses on the practical challenges of agentic AI, including secure OAuth flows, permission management, and reliable tool calling. Developers can use prebuilt integrations or define custom tools that agents can invoke to read data, send messages, update records, or trigger other operations. Arcade is aimed at teams building AI copilots, autonomous agents, or workflow automation features who need their models to interact with software systems rather than only generate text responses.

Years in this space

I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is tool calling runtime for LLMs — handled better than most — and handles complex OAuth and auth flows for agents. Limited value for non-developer users is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.

Does the job

Pretty happy overall. Prebuilt integrations for popular SaaS apps just works and developer-focused SDK and APIs. Limited value for non-developer users can be annoying, but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.

Skeptical, then convinced

I went in skeptical — most tools in this space overpromise. It actually delivers on tool calling runtime for LLMs, and handles complex OAuth and auth flows for agents caught me off guard. still, I'd recommend giving it a real trial.

Use it every day

Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Prebuilt integrations for popular SaaS apps is exactly what I needed, and library of prebuilt tool integrations. but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.
