About Synapse
AI agents are powerful. Ungoverned, they're a liability.
We started Synapse after watching teams spend months debugging silent agent failures, unaudited tool calls, and unexplainable outputs. We believe every production AI system deserves a control tower — and so we built one.
Radical transparency
Every action an agent takes should be explainable. We build observability in from the ground up.
Human as governor
Agents are powerful tools, not autonomous actors. Humans must always be able to inspect, override, and govern.
Developer first
If the API isn't delightful to use, we haven't done our job. DX is a feature, not a footnote.
