Guides
How-to recipes for building with Synap. For the concepts underneath — entities, views, the event chain — the docs are the single reference.
Recipes
Task-shaped walkthroughs. Each one links out to the matching reference page in the docs.
Search
Three search layers working together: full-text, semantic, and structured queries.
Capture
Zero friction, any source. Desktop, Telegram bot, API, browser — AI classifies it automatically.
Channels
Where data meets conversation. AI threads, entity comments, document review, direct messaging.
Connectors
Sync Google Calendar, Gmail and Contacts into your pod. OAuth via Nango.
Export
Getting a full copy out: pg_dump when you self-host, a copy on request for managed pods.
Bento dashboards
Compose any interface from cells — view cells, entity cells, widget cells on a 12-column grid.
Threads
Persistent AI conversations. Return to them, branch, reference. Context stays intact.
Commands
Reusable AI shortcuts. Prompt templates, arguments, run from the app or the palette.
Pod API quickstart
Base URL, auth, and copy-paste examples: curl, JavaScript, Python.
Recipes
Outcome-based flows: form → task, CSV import, outline → timeline.
Automations
Webhooks, API keys, event logs, and bridging to n8n/Make.
Connect with n8n
Connect Synap webhooks to n8n for hundreds of app integrations.
LLM prompt pack
System prompt for n8n/ActivePieces AI nodes. Strict endpoints, no hallucination.
Concepts — in the docs
How Synap is put together. These live only in the docs, not on this site.
Entities
Your data, structured by AI. Built-in types, typed properties, automatic classification.
Views
Any lens over your data — table, kanban, calendar, graph, whiteboard.
Event chain
Every write recorded in an immutable chain. Proposals, audit trail, time-travel, rollback.
AI features
Two-layer agents, persistent threads, reusable commands, any AI model.
Profiles
Custom entity types and schema. Inheritance, property types, your own workflows.
Developer API
tRPC, Hub Protocol REST, and @synap-core/sdk. Bearer auth, full CRUD over your pod.
Self-hosting
Run Synap on your own server. Docker Compose, full stack, same codebase as managed pods.
Agents
Specialized AI assistants with custom instructions, models, and tools.
Connections
Link intelligence providers, APIs, or tools to extend your workspace.
