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.

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.

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.
