About Synapse AI

Wire agents, tools, and LLMs into deterministic pipelines — without the framework lock-in. Synapse is an open-source platform for creating, connecting, and orchestrating AI agents powered by any LLM — local or cloud. Agents use real tools: browsing the web, querying databases, executing code, reading files, managing emails, and anything else you can expose through an MCP server, a webhook, or a Python script.
