Runway announced the general availability of its financial planning and collaboration platform. Runway is a modern, user-friendly interface for financial modeling, headcount planning, departmental budgeting, and more.
Breaking beyond the traditional chat and copilot paradigms that define AI products today, Runway is also introducing Ambient Intelligence — a new suite of intelligence capabilities that are deeply embedded in the product, and connected to the entire business. Ambient Intelligence proactively shares insights and automates workflows, without waiting to be prompted.
“The world is changing faster than ever. There’s pressure on CFOs to create more value than ever before, and be more strategic and collaborative,” said Siqi Chen, CEO, Runway. “Finance leaders are not only expected to understand the whole business; they’re also bogged down by the administrative work of backward-looking reporting and controls. With Ambient Intelligence, they can save time and focus completely on driving strategic impact.”
Chen continued, “But the big-picture problem isn’t just about saving time. Saving time isn’t enough for real strategic impact. What teams need is a clear, intuitive understanding of how all the functions of a business work together, from sales and marketing to product and engineering. Clear context creates alignment, enables true collaboration, and accelerates execution. We built Ambient Intelligence into Runway to make finance easier to understand, enabling everyone in the organization to move forward together with clarity and speed.”
Seamlessly connecting with over 650 business tools, including the most common accounting, HRIS, CRM, and data warehouses, Runway automatically keeps your forecasts up to date with new actuals. Runway simplifies complex financial processes and ensures data security with features like drag-and-drop scenario planning and robust access management.
By building Ambient Intelligence on top of the financial platform’s workflows, Runway helps users understand the context better and analyze auto-generated insights—proactively, and without being intrusive. For example, Runway’s Ambient Intelligence explains financial terms, and alerts users when actuals deviate from the forecast.
