Paragon started as an embedded iPaaS solving SaaS integration nightmares. But AI changed everything.
RAG needs massive data ingestion. AI agents need universal tool calling and existing tools weren't built for this. So we rebuilt everything from scratch.
Introducing Paragon 2.0 - AI-native integration infrastructure with purpose-built products:
- Managed Sync for RAG
- ActionKit for agents
- Plus our proven Workflows product
The future is AI-native. Join our launch week for Paragon 2.0 by giving me or @useparagon.

tomorrow we kick off the 3rd cohort of startups we've invited to use Autobuild, the internal tool driving the insane autonomous build velocity at @obvious (nearing 1000 PRs a day from 10 engineers)
each co is shipping 12 weeks of roadmap
this is the frontier, build accordingly
The model isn’t the moat—decision-driven UX is.
We had Megh Gautam, Chief Product Officer at @crunchbase, on Future Proof to break down how they made their trusted data product AI-native.
The key insight: design for decisions. Users don’t want facts; they want to know what’s worth their time—and they want your product to guide that judgment.

“The first thing you need to consider when you’re a pm is to define what kind of trust you need to build with your users”.
In our latest episode of Future Proof, we sat down with Laura Burkhauser, VP of Product at @descript (yes, the same tool we used to edit this episode). We dove deep into their AI Underlord framework and discussed strategies for making the user-AI relationship feel collaborative.

Introducing Managed Sync - the world’s first data ingestion & access control solution for RAG.
Most LLMs lack user context. That's why OpenAI launches new ChatGPT connectors weekly. Why Anthropic pushes MCP. Why Perplexity bought an integration platform.
But, building these pipelines takes months.
That’s why we built Managed Sync. Two APIs to solve this integration and access control problem in AI.
- Sync API for fully managed, normalized ingestion pipelines
- Permissions API for query-time access control checks on the retrieved data
What used to take teams six months or more to build now takes just two days to implement, and the throughput and performance is ~10x better.

In this tutorial, we discuss how to add agentic capabilities into your AI application, allowing your RAG application to not only read data from third parties but also write data (take action) to those third-party apps as well.

We got an AI Agent to authenticate into Google Drive and then make an ASCII art in Google Sheets, all with just one MCP. Watch our Developer Advocate walk you through it.

AI companies are aggressively investing in building integrations for their AI products, so they can ingest knowledge from their users' 3rd party apps and files, and give their AI agents access to automate tasks across the stack. This article dives into the use cases and why there is such strong sense of urgency right now.

Another API change getting in the way of your integration development? The cost of maintaining integrations is very hard to estimate, with third-party API changes, issues with authentication, and much more. Offload these worries to Paragon, and enjoy your weekends again.
