Introduction to the AI Orchestrator
š§ What is AI Orchestrator?
AI Orchestrator is the main control center of the ARPIA platform. It's a single workspace where you manage everything from raw data and AI apps to governance, security, and resources.
From Orchestrator you can:
- Connect and structure your data
- Turn that data into reusable knowledge and reasoning
- Build and launch AI apps, then connect them to other tools
- Set the guardrails ā alerts, policies, and permissions ā that keep it all secure
Think of it as the "all-in-one dashboard" that brings data, intelligence, and governance together so everything runs smoothly.
There are two ways to navigate it:
- Home dashboard ā groups every module into four task-oriented sections: Build, Data, Intelligence, and Admin.
- Side menu ā exposes the full module tree in a persistent, expandable panel for quick jumping between areas.

šŗļø Navigation
The side menu is the persistent navigation layer of the Orchestrator. Each top-level item expands to reveal its sub-modules.

āļø Orchestrator Modules
Orchestrator's modules follow a natural progression: raw data becomes structured knowledge, knowledge powers applications, and governance and security wrap around the whole stack.
Both the home dashboard and the side menu surface the same modules ā just organized differently. The home dashboard groups them by task (Build, Data, Intelligence, Admin). The side menu groups them by functional area, with sub-items revealed on expand.
The role shown next to each module is its primary owner; other roles often consume the output.
šØ Build ā Data Apps Studio
Create and deploy intelligent applications.
Typically used by: app developers and solution builders ā plus business users for forms and simple apps.
Side menu: Data Apps Studio ā App Studio, SPA Studio

Home dashboard ā Build section

Side menu ā Data Apps Studio expanded
- AI Apps Studio ā create apps from your data repositories, Knowledge Grid nodes, and Workshop projects (App Developer / Solution Builder)
- SPA Studio ā build and maintain Single Page Applications ā both platform apps and personal user apps ā from your data nodes, actions, and tools (App Developer / Business User)
Additional build tools (AutoAPI / MCP Server, App Droplets, Data Forms) are accessible via Others Data Tools in the side menu, and from the Build section of the home dashboard.
šļø Data
Bring in and organize your raw data.
Typically used by: data engineers and platform administrators ā analysts also run queries here.
Side menu: Resources, Data Objects, Query Tool (flat items), and Others Data Tools ā Data Sources, Data Pipes

Home dashboard ā Data section
- Resources ā manage compute and storage resources for your data projects (Platform Administrator)
- Data Sources ā configure the data sources used for raw data extraction (Data Engineer)
- Data Objects ā manage the objects (kubes) in your repositories (Data Engineer)
- Data Pipes ā create raw data extraction pipelines from multiple data sources to your repositories (Data Engineer)
- Query Tool ā run ad-hoc SQL against your kubes with schema browsing and alias autocomplete (Analyst / Data Scientist)
𧬠Intelligence ā Reasoning Flows & Reasoning Graph

Home dashboard ā INTELLIGENCE section
Turn data into structured knowledge and orchestrate reasoning.
Typically used by: data architects and knowledge engineers build this layer; analysts and data scientists consume it.
Side menu: Reasoning Flows ā Reasoning Flows, Aerie, Reasoning Atlas | Reasoning Graph ā Knowledge Catalog, Knowledge Ontology, Data Points, Actions, Access Governance

Side menu ā Reasoning Flows expanded

Side menu ā Reasoning Graph expanded
Reasoning Flows
- Reasoning Flows ā orchestrate decision and control logic across your knowledge layer (Data Scientist / Solution Builder)
- Aerie ā live agent-operations workboard ā watch your Reasoning Flows and their objects run in real time (Operations / ML Engineer)
- Reasoning Atlas ā view how all the reasoning in your workarea is wired, from data to knowledge and reasoning (Data Architect / Analyst)
Reasoning Graph
- Reasoning Graph ā create objects that organize data in the Knowledge Grid, the foundation of knowledge (Data Architect / Knowledge Engineer)
- Knowledge Catalog ā browse the knowledge layer of your kubes ā entities, relationships, and ontologies (Analyst / Data Scientist)
- Knowledge Ontology ā define the structure of your knowledge layer (Data Architect / Knowledge Engineer)
- Data Points ā publish and govern metrics derived from your kubes for downstream consumers (Analyst / Data Scientist)
- Actions ā define reusable actions that operate on your data ā triggers, automations, and reasoning steps (Developer / Data Scientist)
- Access Governance ā govern permissions across the knowledge layer (Security & Compliance)
š”ļø Governance ā AI Governance
Define how AI behaves, manage policy, and monitor compliance.
Typically used by: security, compliance, and platform owners.
Side menu: AI Governance ā Overview, Aerie, Operations, Policy Center, Risk & Compliance, Logs & Controls, Configuration

Side menu ā AI Governance expanded
- Overview ā high-level view of governance status across the workarea
- Aerie ā live agent-operations workboard, also accessible from Reasoning Flows (Operations / ML Engineer)
- Operations ā monitor and manage active AI operations
- Policy Center ā define and manage AI policies (Security & Compliance / Platform Owner)
- Risk & Compliance ā assess risk posture and track compliance status (Security & Compliance)
- Logs & Controls ā audit logs and operational controls (Security & Compliance / Platform Owner)
- Configuration ā platform-level AI governance settings (Platform Administrator)
š§ Others Data Tools
Utilities, integrations, and lifecycle tools that span multiple workflows.
Typically used by: developers, IT, ML engineers, and platform administrators.
Side menu: Others Data Tools ā Data Sources, Data Pipes, AutoAPI / MCP Server, App Droplets, Data Forms, Alert Rules, ML Ops, Integrations, Migration Tool

Side menu ā Others Data Tools expanded
- Data Sources ā also accessible from the Data section (Data Engineer)
- Data Pipes ā also accessible from the Data section (Data Engineer)
- AutoAPI / MCP Server ā create endpoints to integrate external applications in real time with your local resource objects (Developer / Integration Engineer)
- App Droplets ā configure a custom web application server for PHP/Python AI Workshop objects (Developer / Data Engineer)
- Data Forms ā capture input through web and internal forms and save results to your repositories (Business / Operations User)
- Alert Rules ā create custom and advanced data monitoring rules that alert when needed (Operations / DevOps)
- ML Ops ā manage and operate your models (ML Engineer / Data Scientist)
- Integrations ā connect external systems and tools (IT / Integration Engineer)
- Migration Tool ā move work between environments (Data Engineer / Platform Administrator)
š Access & Security ā Users & Security
Manage people, permissions, and external connections.
Typically used by: platform administrators and security teams ā developers manage their own OAuth Clients.
Side menu: Users & Security ā Users, Security Profiles, OAuth Clients

Home dashboard ā Admin section

Side menu ā Users & Security expanded
- Users ā add new users and manage existing users (Platform Administrator)
- Security Profiles ā configure user access to Knowledge Grid nodes and homepage dashboard resources (Platform Administrator / Security)
- OAuth Clients ā manage OAuth client credentials that external apps use to access this workarea (Developer, with Security approval)
š Workarea Usage

Side menu ā Workarea Usage
Track consumption and activity across the workarea.
Typically used by: platform administrators and executives.
Side menu: Workarea Usage (flat)
- Monitor usage metrics, resource consumption, and adoption across teams.
By combining these modules, the Orchestrator lets ARPIA teams design, control, and scale intelligence across the platform ā keeping data, reasoning, governance, and development tightly connected in one visual, collaborative environment.
