# Paragon by SyncPath > Paragon is a local-first AI orchestration system in development by SyncPath Technologies, Inc. (founder: Raffael Collymore). A local model (Bonsai) plans each task, cloud AIs (Claude, ChatGPT) advise within limits, every step is recorded and backed up, a permission layer (Jack10) decides what is allowed, and a person approves decisions that matter. Paragon is not publicly available yet and has no announced release date. Key facts: - Built in tested checkpoints; checkpoint 6 is active and checkpoint 7 is in progress (as of October 2026). - Started in 2024 as a structured prompt system on ChatGPT custom GPTs; rebuilt as a separate software system from September 2026. - Principles: capability is not permission; claims need evidence and "unknown" is a valid answer; nothing promotes itself; private data stays local. - Dream State is background work: DayDream (passive upkeep and experiments that only produce proposals) and active long-horizon work behind human approval gates. ## Pages - [Home](https://syncpath.ai/): overview and development status - [How it works](https://syncpath.ai/#how): request path, principles and glossary - [Try it](https://syncpath.ai/#try): interactive Dream State demo and reference tests for human baselines - [Working example](https://syncpath.ai/working-example): actual local application access and source-bound qualification/build downloads; requires the owner's launcher, and retains exclusions and deferred measurements - [Join](https://syncpath.ai/#join): early-member spots (first 100), booking a call, optional contributor roles - [Updates](https://syncpath.ai/#updates): email lists and optional accounts The interactive exercises on this site are closed simulations. The consented survey database is separate from the core application's PostgreSQL qualification. Working-base promotion does not activate checkpoint 7; use the public qualification manifest for current source and scope. ## Blog - [Building a local-first AI that asks before it acts](https://syncpath.ai/blog/local-first-ai-that-asks-before-it-acts): the design ideas behind Paragon ## Optional - [Privacy notice](https://syncpath.ai/privacy) - [Accessibility statement](https://syncpath.ai/accessibility) - [Site map](https://syncpath.ai/sitemap)
