Free, MIT, entirely self-hosted. [**Website**](https://synapse-app.site) · [Documentation](https://synapse-app.site/docs/) · [Quick start](#quick-start) · [What you can build](#what-you-can-build) · [The AI layer](#the-ai-layer) --- Why Synapse ----------- [](#why-synapse) Building an internal tool, a SaaS UI, or a marketing site usually means stitching together a CMS, a database admin, a workflow tool, an auth system and a front-end — then wiring them all up by hand. **Synapse is all of that, in one package, inside the Laravel + Filament admin you already run.** Drag pages together, define your own data tables, wire automations that react to clicks and data changes, gate it behind your own users and roles — and when you'd rather just *say what you want*, the built-in AI generates the whole thing and keeps refining it as you chat. **It lives *alongside* your existing app.** Synapse is a package, not a platform: its tables are prefixed (`page_builder_*` / `pb_`), it registers its **own** end-user auth guard without touching yours, its admin UI is an **opt-in** Filament plugin, and its routes defer to your app's (it never claims `/`). Drop it into a Laravel app you already run and it coexists — no clash, fully configurable (connection, table names, guard, routes, models are all overridable). Nothing leaves your server. There's no SaaS, no per-seat pricing, no lock-in. It's MIT-licensed and yours. > **You bring the idea. Synapse brings the pages, the database, the logic, the login screen — and an optional AI that builds alongside you.** --- What's inside ------------- [](#whats-inside) PillarWhat it gives you🧩 **Pages & components**A GrapesJS visual builder + a real UI kit (cards, modals, drawers, tabs, forms, **data tables**), per-page CSS/JS, SEO, a cached public render route, and a pickable **home page**. **Management pages** give you an Add form + live data table + per-row Edit/Delete in one pattern. Image fields upload on select via a gated `/pb-upload` endpoint.🗄️ **Collections (data)**Define your own models → **real database tables** (`pb_`, Directus-style) with typed fields, schema sync, an instant **REST API** (filter/sort/search/paginate/`expand=*`) and a records browser. `?expand=*` resolves belongs-to relations so lists show related record names instead of raw ids. Or map an **existing external table** as a read-through virtual collection — same API/blocks/flows, never schema-managed.⚡ **Flows (the brain)**An n8n-style visual canvas. Transaction and Loop bodies are edited as an ordered, sortable **step list**. A **`call_flow`** node runs a saved flow as a sub-step, sharing context. One Trigger per flow (START-badged), enforced by the editor. **Colour-coded node types** (with a matching, colour-coded node drawer), **green / red true / false branch ports** on conditions, zoom controls + non-overlapping auto-layout. Nodes: CRUD, HTTP, AI invoke, functions, conditions, set-state, **send email**, page actions — with a low-code **Result** type-picker.ƒ **Functions & States**Reusable logic (expression / callable / PHP) and a persistent, app-wide **reactive store** that components bind to and flows update live. Factor a one-liner into a Function; a multi-step process into a reusable Flow via `call_flow`.🔐 **Auth & permissions**The built app's **own** users, roles and permissions — sign in once, every gated page just works. Password / **SSO** (Google · Microsoft · GitHub, org-restricted) / **2FA** (email-OTP + authenticator), self-registration + email **invites**, per-page gating, opt-in CRUD rules, **row-/field-level security** and record ownership. Optional: a public site ignores it entirely.✉️ **Email**An isolated SMTP transport (configured in Settings) + a `send_email` flow node that uses any page as an interpolated **email template**.☁️ **Cloud media storage**Offload media to **Amazon S3** (or MinIO/R2/Spaces), **Azure Blob Storage** or **Google Cloud Storage** — credentials configured in Settings (encrypted), adapters optional and auto-detected, host-app disks untouched. `ai-page-builder:migrate-media` moves existing files over and rewrites the URLs baked into saved pages.✦ **AI generation**Describe an app in plain language → review a validated plan → apply it. The generator composes reusable functions and flows instead of repeating logic. A **floating chat** follows you across the admin to refine what you've built. Backed by a **generation quality harness** that asserts every layer of a generated app. Powered by the [AI OpenRouter Gateway](https://github.com/andrecorugda/ai-openrouter-gateway).--- See it ------ [](#see-it) Everything below was **built with the package itself** — run `php artisan ai-page-builder:install-demo` to get the marketing site and the role-gated Inventory app, then sign in and explore.

Relation columns resolve names automatically. - **A lead-capture or feedback site** — a public page whose form writes straight into a collection, with a flow that emails a templated confirmation on every submission. - **A reactive dashboard** — components bound to live state, updated by flows as data changes, no page reload. - **A marketing site** — pick a home page, design freely, publish to a cached route. - **…or just describe it** — *"a waitlist app that emails a welcome on signup and has a landing page"* → Synapse builds the collection, the page, the email template and the flow, and you tweak it from the chat. --- How it fits together -------------------- [](#how-it-fits-together) [![Synapse architecture: you and the AI build the surfaces (pages, collections, flows, functions, states, auth); the published app serves end-users; events drive flows that read/write data, set state, send email and gate access.](art/architecture.png)](art/architecture.png) **The loop in one line:** *event → flow → read/write data + set state → bound components re-render — and AI can build or change any of it.* --- Quick start ----------- [](#quick-start) **Requirements:** PHP 8.2+ · Laravel 11/12/13 · Filament 4/5 ``` composer require andrecorugda/synapse php artisan vendor:publish --tag="ai-page-builder-migrations" php artisan migrate ``` Register the plugin on your Filament panel: ``` use Andre\AiPageBuilder\Filament\AiPageBuilderPlugin; public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel { return $panel->plugin(AiPageBuilderPlugin::make()); } ``` A **Content** group appears with Pages, Media, Flows, Functions, Collections, States, App Users, Roles and Settings. Create a collection, build a page, wire a flow, publish. **To unlock AI generation**, install the gateway and add your OpenRouter key — the `app_builder` integration self-seeds: ``` composer require andrecorugda/ai-openrouter-gateway # set OPENROUTER_INTEGRATION_KEY (or OPENROUTER_API_KEY) in .env ``` Then tap the ✦ chat orb on any admin page and just talk to it. **Want a guided tour?** Install two ready-made apps (a marketing site + a role-gated Inventory CRUD app) built entirely from the package: ``` php artisan ai-page-builder:install-demo ``` 📖 **Full documentation:** [`docs/`](docs/README.md) — installation, architecture, every subsystem, and the complete config reference. --- The AI layer ------------ [](#the-ai-layer) AI is **optional and additive** — the builder is fully usable by hand. When the [AI OpenRouter Gateway](https://github.com/andrecorugda/ai-openrouter-gateway) is installed: - **A real conversation, with modes.** The floating chat talks like a teammate — **Auto** infers what you want, **Ask** answers only, **Plan** designs it with you, **Build** ships it. Greetings and questions get replies, not plans. - **You describe; it plans — visibly.** When you ask for a change, it returns a structured **Build Plan** shown in full (each collection + its fields, pages, flows, settings) for review — never opaque files. - **Applied as data.** A deterministic, idempotent engine writes the plan through the same services the admin uses, so AI-built artifacts behave exactly like hand-built ones — and "refine" just means re-applying a plan that references existing items. - **A companion, not a wizard.** The chat is thread-aware and context-aware (it knows your collections, pages and flows); build on one page, refine on another. - **Safe by construction.** AI-authored HTML is sanitized (declarative bindings kept, executable directives stripped); applying is always human-in-the-loop; generation is metered and cost-capped by the gateway. --- Self-hosting front-end assets (offline / air-gapped) ---------------------------------------------------- [](#self-hosting-front-end-assets-offline--air-gapped) The editor loads GrapesJS, Drawflow, Alpine and Ace from a CDN by default (zero-config). For offline / strict-CSP installs, vendored copies ship in the box: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag="ai-page-builder-assets" # → public/vendor/ai-page-builder/{grapesjs,drawflow,alpine,ace}/ ``` Point the asset env vars at the published copies (see [`docs/installation.md`](docs/installation.md)). `AI_PAGE_BUILDER_ACE_BASE` must stay a **directory**. --- Testing & quality --------------------- [](#testing--quality) ``` composer test # Pest composer lint # Pint composer analyse # PHPStan (larastan) ``` Support ------- [](#support) Synapse is free and MIT-licensed.
