// System Overview
We built an AI agent for ourselves. Now we help you build yours.
Archie is Beyond Arc's AI agent — an Autonomous Research, Commerce and Hyper-Intelligence Engine. Not a chatbot. Not a demo. A fully autonomous system that runs our operations every day. Compiles briefings, manages diaries, validates content, backtests strategies, checks compliance, and handles client work.
He runs on the Openclaw framework with full MCP integration, orchestrates five specialist sub-agents, and handles tasks from email triage to algorithmic trading analysis. The architecture we use internally is the same architecture we build for clients.
Named after Adam's old dog.

What Archie Runs On
Real infrastructure, not a wrapper around an API. Archie is a production system with monitoring, failover, and multi-provider redundancy.
OPENCLAW + MCP
Built on the Openclaw framework with full Model Context Protocol integration. MCP gives Archie persistent context across sessions and direct tool access — calendar, email, file systems, databases. Not stateless prompting. Continuous operational memory.
n8n AUTOMATION
Email workflows, notification routing, and business process automation run through n8n. Incoming email gets triaged automatically. Client follow-ups get tracked. Scheduling confirmations flow through without manual intervention. The plumbing that keeps operations moving.
MULTI-PROVIDER
Claude, OpenAI, and Mistral all integrated. Different tasks get routed to different providers based on what they do best. Mistral handles EU compliance work specifically — data stays in European infrastructure. Not locked into one vendor. Not reliant on one model.
HEARTBEAT MONITORING
Cron jobs run continuous health checks across all sub-agents and integrations. If a connection drops, an API changes, or a workflow stalls, it gets flagged before it becomes a problem. Autonomous means it needs to know when something is wrong without being told.
The Sub-Agent Family
Archie orchestrates five specialist sub-agents. Each owns a specific domain. FURY handles market intelligence. HAWKEYE validates everything. BURRY runs the numbers. PROMETHEUS goes deep. PEPPER keeps the business running. Together they cover research, compliance, trading, content, and operations.
FURY
Briefings, Market Temperature & Signal Aggregation
Pulls overnight market moves, macro signals, earnings flags, and news events into a single morning briefing. Aggregates across equities, commodities, and crypto. Feeds directly into investment content and the weekly Market Watch. If something moved, FURY caught it.
HAWKEYE
Validation, Fact-Checking & Compliance
Every piece of content, every client deliverable, every data point gets checked before it ships. HAWKEYE cross-references claims against source material, flags numerical errors, and runs EU AI Act compliance checks on policy documents. The quality gate that stops mistakes going live.
BURRY
Backtesting, Strategy Analysis & TradingView Integration
Runs backtests against historical data, models slippage and execution costs, and stress-tests strategies before they go near live capital. Plugs directly into TradingView for charting and signal validation. Named for the obvious reason — question everything, verify the numbers.
PROMETHEUS
Deep Research & Cross-Domain Pattern Discovery
When a client needs a 30-page sector analysis or we need to map an entire regulatory landscape, PROMETHEUS handles it. Deep-dive research across domains, pattern recognition that connects signals others miss, and long-form synthesis. The agent you send when surface-level is not enough.
PEPPER
Diary Management, Social Media & Operations
Manages both Adam's personal diary and the Beyond Arc business calendar. Handles social media scheduling and posting. Triages email. Chases outstanding actions. Keeps the operational side of the business moving so the humans can focus on client work and strategy.
What Archie does in a day
Compiles market briefings from overnight data. Triages business email and drafts responses. Manages two separate diaries. Schedules social media posts. Runs backtests with slippage modelling. Fact-checks every piece of content before it goes out. Maps regulatory obligations for client briefs. Designs app wireframes and workflow diagrams. Chases outstanding actions.
He also supports client briefs directly — designing apps, building workflows, creating diagrams, anything the project requires. Archie is not limited to internal operations. When a client needs something built, he is part of the build team.
This is not a list of capabilities. This is what happened yesterday.
Not everyone needs the same setup
Archie runs on Claude because that is the best fit for our use case — deep reasoning, long context, tool use. But when we build for clients, we match the model to the job.
A straightforward document processing workflow does not need the most powerful model available. A compliance-heavy operation in the EU might need Mistral for data residency. A business that already runs on Microsoft infrastructure might start with OpenAI. We are model-agnostic because the right answer depends on what you actually need.
We help clients pick the right tier for each task. That means lower costs, faster responses, and no overengineering. The goal is a system that works and keeps working — not the most impressive-sounding stack.
Theory vs. production
Most consultancies sell theory. Slide decks about what AI could do. Demos that work in a meeting room but not in your operations.
Beyond Arc sells what we built for ourselves and use every day. Archie is not a demo — he is operational. Every morning he compiles briefings, triages email, runs research, validates content, checks compliance, manages scheduling, and supports live client projects. The system we build for you comes from the same architecture, the same patterns, the same lessons learned from running it in production.
That is the difference between a consultancy that talks about AI and one that runs on it.
