DAG routing: one prompt, a whole plan

Ask Synaplan one complex thing and it doesn't fire a single AI call — it sketches a small plan, a directed acyclic graph of steps, and runs them right in front of you. Here's why that's a gift if you self-host, shown with a simple calendar-invite example.

AI agents write a large share of our code — which is exactly why every commit runs a no-shortcuts CI pipeline: PSR-12 linting, PHPStan, vue-tsc, 549 Vitest tests, Playwright across two browsers, OIDC login flows, and a full Docker image build. Nothing ships to production until every check is green. A look behind the scenes of our open-source AI platform.

Here is why that split matters, especially for larger corporations.
