What is Orthantic
A business planning platform with agentic AI
Orthantic is a multidimensional planning platform with agentic AI. The planners of a process, across regions and countries, work in one shared model, with consistent dimensions, business rules and data with same view.
An AI agent works alongside your planning teams. It answers questions about the plan in natural language, explains results and prepares changes for a planner to approve.
Each planning process has its own model, built at the level of detail that process needs. One platform, multiple planning models describes the approach.

How Orthantic compares with a spreadsheet model
Spreadsheets remain valuable for individual analysis. Orthantic is designed for planning that is shared, recurring and detailed.
| Capability | Spreadsheet model | Orthantic |
|---|---|---|
| Adding a dimension | New tabs and updated formula references | Added once; every part of the model that uses it picks up the change |
| Business logic | Repeated across cells and kept consistent by hand | Defined once as a readable formula and applied across the model |
| Questions and analysis | Pivot tables and charts built by hand | Asked in natural language; the AI agent answers with tables and charts |
| Changes to the plan | Typed cell by cell | Typed in the grid, or described to the AI agent and approved |
| Collaboration | Separate copies consolidated by hand | Contributors plan in one shared model |
| Forecasting and optimisation | Separate tools or add-ins, with data exported and imported | Built in, running on the planning data |
| Audit trail | File-level version history | Cell-level: previous value, new value, user and time |
| Access control | File-level access | Role-based, down to the data each user is responsible for |
