Pylon is Synthreo's agent workspace. It contains two kinds of automation: Agents, autonomous LLM-driven workers that use tools and skills, and DAGs, node-based workflows on a visual canvas, both managed in one workspace.

What is the difference between an Agent and a DAG in Pylon?

An Agent is autonomous: you give it a goal, a model, tools, and skills, and it decides the steps. A DAG is deterministic: you wire nodes on a canvas and data flows through exactly the path you drew. Use Agents for open-ended work, DAGs for repeatable pipelines.

Do my existing Builder workflows still work in Pylon?

Yes. The classic node workflows live on as DAGs, with their own nav item, templates, and the same visual canvas. The Pylon documentation section covers the canvas and every node type.

Overview - Synthreo Pylon

What Pylon is and how the workspace is organized - autonomous Agents, classic DAGs, and the Monitor, Build, Data, Deploy, and Insights workspace surfaces.

What you can do with Pylon

Pylon is Synthreo’s agent workspace. It gives you two complementary ways to automate, side by side:

Agents - autonomous workers. You give an Agent a goal, a model, tools, and skills; it plans and executes the steps itself, on demand or on a schedule.
DAGs - node-based workflows on a visual canvas. You wire nodes together and data flows through exactly the path you drew.

Use an Agent when the work is open-ended (“review new PRs and post a digest”); use a DAG when the pipeline is fixed and repeatable (“OCR this document, extract fields, write to the database”). Both live in the same workspace, share your data surfaces, and report into the same monitoring.

The workspace at a glance

The left navigation is organized by what you’re doing:

Group	Items	What it’s for
Monitor	Dashboard, Activity, Webhook Deliveries	Watch runs, health, and what needs attention
Build	Agents, DAGs, Templates	Create and edit your automations
Data	Data Studio, Webhooks, Files, Sensitive data, Memory	Databases, inbound/outbound data, files, and the credential inventory
Deploy	Capabilities, Integrations	What agents may use (Connectors and Skills - servers are connected through Connections, not a capabilities picker) and where they surface (Microsoft Teams, websites)
Insights	Analytics	Usage, reliability, performance, and trigger statistics (the page itself is titled Statistics)

A few surfaces are still rolling out and say so on screen: the Memory page, the guided Add an MCP wizard, and the Monitor activity summary show “coming soon” states. Per-agent run history is not among them - an agent’s Runs tab lists status, duration and failure reason today. Docs cover the rest as they land.

Coming from Builder

Builder’s documentation now lives in this section - every page that used to sit under /builder/ has moved to /pylon/, and the old links redirect here. The classic experience itself is unchanged: the node-based workflows you built in Builder are called DAGs in Pylon, on the same canvas with the same nodes. Start with Welcome to Pylon and the User Manual.

Two names have deliberately not changed, because the services behind them are unchanged and still live:

The Builder API at builder-api.synthreo.ai, including the target_app=builder token audience. Existing integrations keep working as-is. Pylon exposes its own separate API surface; that reference is not published here yet.
The Builder console at builder.synthreo.ai.

Availability

Access is provisioned by your administrator or Synthreo - there is no self-serve switch. Agents and DAGs share one plan quota, so reaching the cap blocks both. The create buttons word it differently - “You have reached your agents plan limit. Upgrade your subscription to create more.” and “You have reached your DAGs plan limit. Upgrade your subscription to create more.” - and that wording is exactly what misleads people: there is a single counter behind both.
