Question 1

What is Argus?

Accepted Answer

Argus is the operating system for retail. It runs five AI agents (operations, inventory, money, team, and customer) on the cameras and registers a store already owns, all reading one shared, real-time data layer.

Question 2

What is the closed loop?

Accepted Answer

The closed loop is Argus joining four streams in real time: cash, point-of-sale, camera, and labor. The facts that matter most in a store, like a void with no customer or merchandise that left without being paid for, only become visible when those streams are crossed.

Question 3

Do I need new cameras or registers to use Argus?

Accepted Answer

No. Argus runs on the cameras and point-of-sale systems already in your store. There is no proprietary hardware to install and no construction. Argus connects to your existing feeds and transaction streams.

Question 4

Which retailers is Argus built for?

Accepted Answer

Argus is in private beta with gas station, convenience store, and grocery operators. These are businesses with thin margins, around-the-clock shifts, and a wide gap between what the store knows and what the operator can act on.

Question 5

What metrics does Argus report?

Accepted Answer

Argus rolls the closed loop into a small set of headline metrics: the Revenue Integrity Score (how much of what left the store was paid for), the Cash Anomaly Index, the Workforce Honesty Score, and Store Operating Health, one number per location for multi-store operators.
