synapse-ai

Active·★ 331·AGPL-3.0·Updated 2026-10-22

Synapse is an open-source platform for creating, connecting, and orchestrating AI agents powered by any LLM. It allows users to turn existing APIs and Python programs into agent tools, build deterministic workflows as DAGs, and run everything locally or in the cloud without vendor lock-in.

synapse-ai sits in the Workflow Automation category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward Multi-model orchestration with per-step model override. A representative use case is End-to-end research report orchestration with parallel agents and human approval. The listed license is AGPL-3.0. GitHub stars are currently 330. Relevant tags include custom-agents, custom-tools.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool.
