Arena - Leading the Future of Intelligent Business

Arena specializes in automating enterprise decision-making through advanced AI technologies. It leverages multimodal foundation models and active learning to drive precise autonomous actions, which are particularly beneficial in sectors like manufacturing, commerce, and supply chain management​.

Arena utilizes foundation models that are capable of processing and understanding multiple types of data (multimodal), including text, images, and sensor data. This is particularly useful in complex environments like manufacturing and commerce, where diverse data types need to be analyzed simultaneously for effective decision-making. The integration of these models into production systems enables Arena to provide intelligent recommendations and autonomous actions that can be implemented via APIs.

The company's flagship products include "Atlas" for advanced manufacturing and "OneBrain" for omnichannel commerce. These systems are designed to integrate into production systems seamlessly, delivering intelligent suggestions and executing autonomous actions via APIs to improve operational efficiency and decision-making processes​.

Arena has made significant strides in the AI field, particularly in the use of deep reinforcement learning (RL). This technology, which supports superhuman capabilities in complex games like chess and Go, is applied by Arena to optimize and automate various business processes. Their work extends to building a simulated economy to further strengthen their AI models​.

The company was founded by Engin Ural, Pratap Ranade, and Rob Speare. To date, they have raised $32 million.
