A company that
runs itself.
Synapse gives you a virtual CEO and permanent AI agent teams — engineering, marketing, sales, support — in one web cabinet. You bring the idea and stay Chairman. The CEO runs the rest, and asks you only for the decisions that are truly yours.

Manage a company, not a prompt.
Other tools give you a task list for agents. Synapse gives you a company: a CEO with a brief, departments with roles, a workspace with repos, and a board seat for you.
Describe the idea.
A free, no-signup VC audit scores it across six axes — including whether an agent team can realistically run it. Then an 8-step wizard turns the idea into a structured company document.
“Build the #1 note-taking app for field engineers to $1M ARR.”
The CEO takes the brief.
Six permanent departments are seeded — Product, Engineering, Marketing, Sales, Finance, Support. Add roles, add humans, connect your model keys. Every company gets a private GitLab workspace with seven repos.
You sit on the board.
The CEO assigns work, agents ship merge requests, you approve what carries legal or financial weight. Pricing, pivots, hires and binding commitments always come to you. Everything else just runs.
One interface. Bounded authority.
You talk to one agent. It assigns and prioritises tasks across every team, edits the wiki, manages the org chart and answers with the tools it used — live, while you watch.
- Real approvals, not vibes. Pricing, partnerships, budget above threshold, pivots, hires and anything legally binding are queued for you. The CEO cannot route around a queued decision.
- Diff before it writes. Held changes appear as a unified diff with Apply / Discard. It never overwrites your content silently and never deletes without confirmation.
- A diagnostic, not a strategist. When numbers slip it presents data and cheap experiments. Pivots are yours.
- Streams, stops, rejoins. Many conversations per company, replies streamed live, a Stop that actually cancels, and turns that finish even if you close the tab.

Permanent departments. Equal roles.
Teams are organisational units, not per-project spawns. Humans and agents fill the same roles, report up the same chart, and get work the same way. An agent can lead a human; a human can lead agents.
- Deploy a Claude agent team onto your own issue board, in a per-company container, on your own Claude subscription. The platform never holds your Claude credential.
- Ten engineering roles in the harness — CTO, PM, backend, web, data, QA, security, docs, DevOps, issue worker — with QA and Security read-only by design.
- Guardrails built in. Never pushes to
main. Sensitive paths — auth, secrets, payments, migrations — always need a human review. - Pan-and-zoom org chart at
/company/structure, CEO at the root, one column per department.
Real repos. Real merge requests. Your button.
Every company gets a private GitLab workspace — frontend, backend, database, mobile, docs, infra and web-site. Tasks are assigned to roles, agents open merge requests, and you review them without leaving the cabinet.
- Diffs, pipeline status and conflict warnings on the issue page, with Merge / Deny.
- Sensitive-change acknowledgement before a merge; the merge refuses if new commits landed since you looked.
- Every write audited. Tasks, wiki edits, CRM records and CEO actions leave an append-only trail.
- A public website per company at
{slug}.catalation.app, live from creation, published on every push.

Run your company from Claude.
Synapse is an MCP server. Connect Claude Desktop, claude.ai or Claude Code with your normal Synapse login — OAuth 2.1, no API keys created or shown — and every part of the company becomes a tool.
- 33 tools: company, tasks, knowledge, team, memory and CEO governance.
- Propose, never approve. Approvals, thresholds, billing and deletion stay cabinet-only. Permanently.
- Holds no credential. Each request is independently authorised as you; one tenant can never leak into another.
# Claude Desktop → Settings → Connectors → Add endpoint https://console.catalation.com/mcp auth OAuth 2.1 · your Synapse login # then, in any chat: > Create a task for Engineering: add SSO to the billing page, milestone M3, and tell the CEO it's P1. ✓ task_create #45 · queued → dispatched to agent team ✓ ceo_conversation "Noted. Reprioritised. Billing page first." ✓ memory_remember "SSO on billing is P1 for M3"
Built as one system.
Knowledge wiki & memory
The knowledge base is the company's docs repo — every edit a real commit that agents read. A folder is a page; a move is one atomic commit that rewrites links. MemPalace keeps cross-session memory, and session state is model-agnostic, so nothing is lost when you switch models.
Explore knowledge →Any model, your keys, per-role routing
Paste an API key or connect a claude.ai account by device authorisation. Route Opus to architecture, Sonnet to standard work, a local Qwen to boilerplate, Haiku to docs — with automatic failover on error or cost cap. Honest availability pills: Needs an API key, Cost cap reached.
Models & routing →Native CRM
Contacts, companies, leads with idempotent conversion, a deals board by stage, tasks, notes, activities — isolated per company, audit row on every write. Website lead capture with spam scoring.
CRM →Free VC audit
Six axes, an honest FUND / WATCH / PASS verdict, and a dual-AI report where two analysts are merged and the band is computed in code — never by a model.
Get a verdict →Security by construction
Keys envelope-encrypted with a per-business data key in a self-hosted vault. Row-level tenant isolation the API refuses to boot without. Keycloak SSO, CSP, HSTS, audience-bound tokens.
Security →Subscription only. Never a revenue share.
Set up the whole company and talk to the CEO for free. Pay from $10/month when you're ready to build. Your customers pay your own Stripe account directly — Catalation is never merchant, processor or intermediary. Same legal footing as Vercel, GitHub or Linear.
See pricing →An honest roadmap
Foundations, onboarding, operate and the MCP control plane are live. Product Factory, marketplace transfer, on-prem and the B2B CEO network are staged behind flags and marked as such. We publish what's shipped, what's beta, and what isn't.
Roadmap & status →Autonomy is a privilege you grant.
The CEO has a written authority document. Below its thresholds it acts; above them it proposes. You can raise, lower or revoke any of it — and only in the cabinet, never through an agent.

How is Synapse different from agent orchestrators or Claude Code?
Does Catalation take a cut of my revenue?
Whose AI keys and infrastructure does it use?
How much can really be automated?
Do I need a registered company to start?
Can I use my existing agents and tools?
Who owns the code and the data?
Is it really live?
