Pylon Overview

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

Pylon is Synthreo’s next-generation agent workspace - the successor platform to Builder. 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 - the classic node-based workflows from Builder. You wire nodes on a visual canvas 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 left navigation is organized by what you’re doing:

GroupItemsWhat it’s for
MonitorDashboard, Activity, Webhook DeliveriesWatch runs, health, and what needs attention
BuildAgents, DAGs, TemplatesCreate and edit your automations
DataData Studio, Webhooks, Files, Sensitive data, MemoryDatabases, inbound/outbound data, files, and the credential inventory
DeployCapabilities, IntegrationsWhat agents may use (Connectors, Skills, MCP Servers) and where they surface (Microsoft Teams, websites)
InsightsAnalyticsUsage, 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 per-agent run history all show “coming soon” states. Docs cover them as they land.

Builder’s classic experience is not going away - it lives on inside Pylon as DAGs, with the same canvas and the same nodes. The Builder documentation remains the reference for the canvas and every node type; this section covers what’s new. During the rollout you may see both names in places in the product - they refer to the same workspace.

Existing Builder API integrations continue to work unchanged. Pylon additionally exposes its own modern API surface; its reference will land in this section.

Pylon is in Early Access. Access is provisioned by your administrator or Synthreo - there is no self-serve switch. Plan limits apply separately to Agents and DAGs; when you reach one, the create button tells you: “You have reached your agents plan limit. Upgrade your subscription to create more.”
