# About Arcade

This page explains how Arcade handles authorization for agentic applications.

Applications that use models to perform tasks (_agentic applications_) commonly require access to sensitive data and services. Authentication complexities often hinder AI from performing tasks that require user-specific information, like what emails were recently received or what's coming up on a calendar.

To retrieve this information, agentic applications need to be able to authenticate and authorize access to external services like Gmail or Google Calendar.
