ARKIN is not a single chatbot. It is a coordinated team of twelve specialist agents, each with one well-scoped job, working under one shared rulebook. ARKIN Core sits in the middle as the orchestrator — it never holds an agent's expertise itself, it routes each task to the right specialist, carries the result back, and keeps a full audit trail. Anything sensitive stops and waits for a human to approve it. Clinical-facing work is designed to defer to a registered practitioner.
This is the architecture behind ARKIN. The professional companion is live in closed beta today; the full practice (B2B) system these agents power is still in development.
The orchestrator and router. It receives every request, decides which specialist owns it, passes work between agents under shared rules, and records each step. It holds no domain logic of its own — its job is coordination, audit and order.
The gatekeeper. Janus controls who and what gets in and out — access, intake and egress, request triage and boundary enforcement. It's designed so nothing reaches the rest of the network without passing through it first.
Compliance and data protection, applied equally across practices and professionals. Eve works with UK GDPR, the DPA 2018, ICO guidance and the DSPT, and routes erasure and subject-access requests. Like every agent, she drafts and flags for a person to decide — she's the reason compliance comes first in how the platform is built.
The conscience. Arthur cross-checks every marketing and clinical claim for truth and UK-regulatory safety before it is ever published. A claim that cannot be sourced or that fails the check is blocked and logged for a person to review.
Counsel. Themis handles legal interpretation, contracts and the reading of UK regulation. It drafts reasoned legal analysis for human review — it never issues settled legal advice or acts on its own.
HR and people. Cassia manages recruitment, contracts and onboarding with UK employment-law awareness — the kind of standalone HR and compliance tooling practices juggle today, brought in-house and AI-native.
Finance and treasury. Midas models cashflow, runway, pricing and costs. We believe in fair usage — the numbers are always shown with their workings.
The messenger. Hermes drafts outbound, campaign and website copy — advertising and marketing in one place. Every draft it produces still passes Arthur's truth-check before anything goes live.
Outreach. Aura handles first contact — patient and lead engagement, enquiry handling and nurture — designed so enquiries aren't dropped and replies stay consistent and on-record.
Knowledge. Logos curates the knowledge base and retrieves grounded reference material, so every other agent answers from a single, sourced body of truth rather than guessing.
Stewardship. Hestia looks after the housekeeping — internal operations, resource care and continuity — the quiet work that keeps everything running between tasks.
Infrastructure. Zenith watches systems health, deployment posture and technical resilience, working to keep the platform up, current and safe to build on.
Vision. Iris handles long-range strategy — foresight, scenario framing and direction-setting — keeping the day-to-day work pointed at where the system is going next.
No agent works alone. Here's how a request is designed to move through the network — triaged, routed, drafted, checked and recorded — with a person in control of anything that carries weight. (The practice flow below illustrates the design; the practice system is still in development.)
