About Paragon
Paragon is integration infrastructure for software companies that need to connect their product to the apps their customers already use. It is positioned toward AI agents and SaaS products, handling the authentication, syncing and event plumbing that otherwise becomes a long-running engineering project.
The platform has several parts. Managed Sync ingests users' third-party data into a vector database for retrieval-augmented generation, with a permissions index so results respect each user's access. ActionKit lets agents query and act in customers' apps with descriptions tuned for tool use. Event subscriptions normalize webhooks across integrations, and Workflows add integration steps to a product.
Paragon is a hosted commercial service with documentation, a security page and pricing information on the vendor site. Teams can start for free or book a demo. It suits engineering teams building customer-facing integrations who want to avoid maintaining dozens of separate connectors themselves.
