Turn a seed idea into a living graph, then pressure-test it.
Synaptic expands one idea into a structured graph with labeled relationships, expandable nodes, devil's-advocate critique, live prior-art crosschecks, tension detection, and one-click export.

How it works
Five moves from seed
to structured insight
Each session follows a deterministic pipeline so the graph feels deliberate instead of vague or chatty.
01
seed
Plant a Seed
Enter one raw idea. It becomes the center node of your graph and everything radiates from there.
02
map
Generate Graph
AI expands the seed into up to five typed idea nodes with labeled relationships rendered as a zoomable map.
03
inspect
Drill Into Nodes
Click any node to open a structured dossier with summary, tensions, questions, and cross-check controls.
04
check
Pressure-Test
Run Exa, patent, GitHub, and optional Elasticsearch cross-checks on demand. The reranked results feed back into critique and prior-art retrieval.
05
export
Export
Generate a clean one-pager PDF from the session with hook, structure, tensions, and next questions.
Graph anatomy
Every node has a role
Seed
The origin idea. Everything in the graph descends from here.
Inspiration
Adjacent sparks, concepts, and directions worth pursuing.
Target Audience
Who benefits, buys, or feels the pain most acutely.
Technical Constraints
Engineering limits, infra realities, and hard boundaries.
Business Constraints
Budget, timing, regulation, and go-to-market realities.
Risks & Failure Modes
What breaks first and where execution is likely to stall.
Prior Art
Existing products, papers, tools, and competitive analogs.
Adjacent Analogies
Transferable patterns from other industries and workflows.
Open Questions
Unknowns that need explicit research instead of guesswork.
Tensions
Trade-offs and contradictions surfaced early instead of buried later.
Features
Built for deep thinking
Structured Generation
OpenAI Responses returns typed node data instead of freeform text, so each idea has shape and purpose.
Zoomable Idea Graph
React Flow renders the graph as an interactive canvas with circular nodes, labeled edges, and controlled branching.
Devil's Advocate Critique
Each node dossier surfaces tensions, weak assumptions, and execution risks instead of only validation.
Live Crosschecks
Run on-demand Exa, patent, GitHub, and optional Elasticsearch search, then rerank the combined results before surfacing the strongest matches.
Persistent Sessions
Sessions live in Supabase per user, so you can resume, share, and build on previous exploration rounds.
One-Pager Export
Turn the session into a concise export that captures the hook, strongest branches, tensions, and open questions.
