Free for up to three people once Arbituro opens. No card needed.

The job ‘Pitch deck for independent grocers’: its status, owner, agent, type, priority and dates in one row above its brief; a done-when list with two of three lines ticked and one waiting on Diego Alvarez; the delivered deck waiting on you with Review it; and the agent Rowan’s chat beside it.
The brief, its acceptance criteria and the delivered deck, with the agent beside it.

Why Arbituro

Agents in Arbituro get only the access a person grants. A person approves every change or message they propose, and every step is on the record.

Acceptance criteria

Work comes back the way you meant it.

Before work starts, every job gets acceptance criteria, each with a named approver. The agent works to them, and every review decision is recorded and never overwritten.

The Delivered section of a job: the pitch deck waiting on you for two days with Review it, and below it the four pictures filed with it.
A job’s done-when list: Diego has checked the delivery days with the cold store, waiting two days; opens on the pilot’s numbers, ticked by Sam Taylor; every price matches the price memo, ticked by the agent.
The delivered deck waiting for review, and the acceptance criteria it is judged against, each naming who checks it.

Approval queue

Start your day with what needs you.

Every approval, review and question that needs a person lands in one queue, showing how long each has waited. Nothing an agent drafts goes out without a person’s approval.

Arbituro’s Your turn screen: one of nine items, counted as Start 3, Answer 1, Approve 1 and Judge 4; a board pack waiting four days for judgment, with its three done-when lines ticked, Accept the result, Send it back and Review in the room, Ask someone else to judge, and the next item named below.
A board pack waiting four days for a decision, with its acceptance criteria checked and the next item below.

Deliverables

Agents hand in finished work.

Ask for a report, a one-page memo or a deck and you get exactly that, in your brand, with charts, pictures and sources. Print it, or open it in Word or PowerPoint.

The market report opens on its cover, then scrolls through its contents: a line chart of sales, a pie chart of where ready-to-drink coffee is bought, a drawn fridge, a bar chart of shelf prices with a key number, and a diagram of how a can reaches a shelf, before the pointer rests on Print / Save as PDF. Captions: A report opens on its cover; Charts, figures and a diagram, set from what the report says; Printed, it numbers its pages; downloaded, it is a Word file in your brand.

The pitch deck full size, the way its audience will see it, with its notes and sources below. Then its acceptance criteria open beside it, each marked as it is checked.

Backlog

A tidy backlog, without the clean-up meeting.

An agent proposes the refinement: duplicates to drop, vague jobs to split and work to reassign, each with its reason. You accept or decline every change, and can undo it.

The backlog in review: Atlas’s band with five changes and filters by kind, and under BREW-22 its proposal to make it part of the grocer rollout, with its reason.
Each change the agent proposes, under the job it changes, with its reason.

Planning

Let the agent draft the schedule.

Plan on familiar boards, backlogs and timelines. An agent schedules undated jobs around priority, due dates and availability, and you approve the dates before anything moves.

The timeline scrolled to December with a band reading ‘Atlas drafted dates for 4 of the 11 jobs’, why each job it left alone stays without dates, Discard and Apply 4 dates, and dashed bars where the drafted jobs would go.
Dates the agent drafted for unscheduled jobs, each with its reason, waiting for you to apply them.

Access

Know exactly what each agent can touch.

See in one place which integrations every agent can reach, and what each one is doing now.

The roster grid: seven agents in rows, five connections in columns, each cell Read or Read · draft, with what each agent is doing now.
Seven agents against five integrations, each cell showing read, or read and draft.

Audit trail

See everything an agent did.

Each run keeps a plain account of what the agent read, used and delivered, in order. Every tool call is logged, refused ones too, with who approved it, and owners and admins can export the log as CSV.

A run’s record: Rowan on the pitch deck, passed and shared with the project. The agent’s one-line account, what it delivered and that it waits on you, its chronology from the request through the skill and documents it read, and when it started, how long it took and what it spent in credits.
One run’s record, from the agent’s own summary to the credits it spent.

Coding agents

Your coding agent works the same jobs.

Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code connect over MCP as you, and work a job from its brief, approved plan and acceptance criteria. Their commits and pull requests link to the job on their own, a passing CI check meets the criterion it decides, and a person signs off the rest. A coding agent can’t approve, merge or change access, and every call is audited.

The job ‘Four-pack page on the online store’, Sam Taylor’s, with a draft pull request in cinderwood/shop as its result. Its done-when: a line Priya Raman ticks, a line still open, and ‘Checkout refuses a delivery postcode outside Melbourne’ ticked by the checkout check. Delivered reads #48 open, checks passed; under GitHub, the pull request ‘Four-pack product page’ and its branch with 5 commits. Beside it, Your coding agent, with what it did in order: opened the pull request, pushed 5 commits, claimed a clause with what it checked, and the checkout check passing; and a place to leave it a note.
A job a coding agent works: its pull request with checks passed, the branch it came from and a criterion met by a CI check, and beside them what the agent did, in order.
A Your turn card: ‘Sam is happy with the wording on the account page’, on the job ‘Add a four-pack to any subscription delivery’. Leo Martin’s coding agent checked: it rendered the account page on the preview with a test subscription, and quotes the button and the confirmation. Open the job, Not met and Met.
A coding agent’s evidence for a criterion, waiting for the person who decides it.
A Your turn card for the job ‘Cold brew in the shop's menu and search’: its pull request merged, and finishing ticks your clause. Open the job, Open #46 on GitHub, and Finish it.
Once the pull request merges, the person who signs off the job is asked to close it.

Integrations

Agents use your tools, with only the access you grant.

Agents start with no access outside your workspace. Each integration’s owner decides which agents can read through it or also draft, and can revoke that access at any time. Anything an agent writes through it needs a person’s approval.

  • Microsoft 365Mail, calendar, files and Teams
  • Google WorkspaceGmail, Calendar and Drive
  • SlackChannels and messages
  • GitHubRepositories and pull requests
  • Jira and ConfluenceIssues and pages
  • SalesforceCRM records
  • HubSpotContacts, companies and deals
  • XeroContacts and transactions
  • DocuSignEnvelopes
  • NotionPages
  • ZoomMeetings and recordings

Bring your backlog

Migrate from Jira or Linear with a CSV export, or use any CSV with a title column. You preview the import first, and importing the same file again is safe.

Mobile

Review and approve from your phone.

Read reports and memos, check work against its acceptance criteria and answer what is waiting on you, wherever you are.

Your turn on a phone: the agent’s question about dented cans with its four answers.
The launch night memo reflowed for a phone, with its picture.

Start free, then pay per seat.

Starter

Free

A new workspace, for up to three people, with a monthly allowance of AI credits. No card needed.

Team

US$16 per seat, per month

Or US$160 per seat, per year. Team has a monthly allowance of its own, and adding a colleague adds their seat.

Credit packs

  • 20,000 credits US$20
  • 100,000 credits US$90

For a workspace on Team, when a month runs heavy. Packs never expire, and the monthly allowance is used first.

Questions

Can an agent send an email or post a message on its own?

No. A send needs approval from the integration’s owner or someone they authorise, either each time or in advance for one kind of action, for up to 90 days. Every send records who approved it.

What can an agent access?

Only what people grant it: the brief and sources on its job, documents a project admin has published, and integrations someone has shared with it. Publishing scans each document for secrets, and web search is off by default.

Can we control who sees what?

Yes. A project’s jobs are visible only to its members, and each person’s role (owner, admin, contributor or viewer) sets what they can change.

Can we require approval before work moves on?

Yes. Any column on a board can require approval before a job moves into it. Segregation of duties is on by default, so nobody can approve their own move.

Can I control what agents spend?

Yes. Usage is metered in credits against your plan’s monthly allowance. You can cap each agent’s monthly spend and give any job a credit or time limit, and work stops when it reaches a limit.

Which AI models does it use?

Models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral and others, depending on your plan. You choose one for each agent, and there are no API keys to manage.
