In their own words
arg.ai
arg.ai is a shared workspace for teams and AI agents, organized around files that persist across sessions and are indexed for search and agent context. Its workspace agent can read and write files, run Python and Bash in an isolated sandbox, and generate media files. Users can build internal apps connected to workspace files, data, agents and integrations. Automations can run on schedules, file changes or webhooks, saving results back into the workspace. Listed connectors include Linear, Notion, Sentry, PostHog, Apollo.io, Pylon, Granola, Canva, Ashby and Relevance AI, with MCP server support and more than 100 typed actions and triggers across 17 providers. The service describes SAML and OIDC sign-on, directory sync, custom roles, service accounts, selected-region storage, versioned files and an append-only audit log. The desktop app works offline with files on the user’s machine. Free includes 1 GB storage and API access. Team costs $10 a month with annual billing; monthly billing is $12/user/month.
