# Synthiq

> Synthiq is an AI-agent engineering studio: it builds in-product AI features, custom MCP servers, workflow automation, agent-readable websites, and on-prem/private agents for software companies. It also ships its own browser tools (flagship: the Orthogonal Innovation Engine, a paid multi-model opportunity engine) and runs a live MCP server — the same work it does for clients, in production on this site. To engage the services, book a call at https://synthiq.app/services.

## Tools

- [Orthogonal Innovation Engine (OIE)](https://synthiq.app/oie): Flagship: an evidence-gated, multi-model opportunity engine — one topic in, a stress-tested business verdict out, with a first-dollar path and an AI-agent build prompt. $50 per run.
- [CoreArch](https://synthiq.app/corearch): Browser-based MIPS 5-stage pipeline hazard simulator — paste MIPS, step cycle by cycle, and see where data and control hazards stall the pipeline.
- [Prompt Vault](https://synthiq.app/promptvault/policy): A browser extension that saves reusable prompt templates with variables and pastes them with one shortcut — stored locally, no telemetry.
- [AnastomosisMap](https://synthiq.app/anastomosismap): Retraction insurance for research bibliographies — paste BibTeX to flag retracted sources and single-citation arguments before peer review.

## Services

- [Services](https://synthiq.app/services): AI-agent engineering — in-product AI features, custom MCP servers, automation, agent-readable websites, and on-prem/private agents. Engage by booking a call.
- [The AI shop](https://synthiq.app/services/shop): A configurator — skills at fixed prices, MCP servers and agents estimated live from scope drivers, computed bundle savings. No checkout for custom work; every path ends in a scoping call with the configuration attached.
- [Skills marketplace](https://synthiq.app/services/skills): Ready-made, role-based Claude skills — 2 free, the rest $29–$39 one-time (bundle $99). Instant delivery at a private link; no account.
- [DIY packs](https://synthiq.app/services/diy): Self-serve prompt + guide sequences — build your own MCP server ($299) or agent ($399), both $549. No AI chat in the tier; the buyer uses their own Claude. Prerequisite checklist before purchase.
- [Guided setup](https://synthiq.app/services/guided): Synthiq's own AI agent walks the buyer through the same build — $899 for 3 hours of ACTIVE session time (pausable; the clock only runs while the session is open and active), all DIY content included, top-ups $99/hour. Explicitly an AI guide, not a human call.
- [Front Door demo](https://synthiq.app/front-door): An interactive replay of a real agent session — quoting, checking availability, and staging a booking against an MCP server we built (replayed protocol traffic, not a mockup).
- [Free agent-readiness scan](https://synthiq.app/audit): Paste a URL, get a real outside-in agent-readiness score in seconds (rubric adapted from Agents First, CC BY 4.0). Fixes unlock via a free call or a paid written report. A full sample of the deeper mystery-shopper audit is on the page.

## Learn (plain-English explainers + pricing)

- [Learn hub](https://synthiq.app/learn): The three things Synthiq sells — Skills, MCP servers, and Agents — explained for non-technical buyers, with real prices and package deals.
- [What is a Skill?](https://synthiq.app/learn/skills): A ready-made ability added to an AI so it does one job the buyer's way, every time. Two lanes: ready-made $29–$39 (marketplace, instant), custom from $75.
- [What is an MCP?](https://synthiq.app/learn/mcp): A secure adapter (Model Context Protocol server) that lets an AI plug into the buyer's real tools — calendar, documents, database — so it can do work instead of talking about it. Custom builds, $15,000–$50,000.
- [What is an Agent?](https://synthiq.app/learn/agents): Goal-driven software that checks, decides, and acts on its own within written guardrails — a tireless digital employee for one real workflow. Custom builds, $15,000–$50,000.

## About

- [Proof — built by us](https://synthiq.app/proof): Live index of everything Synthiq runs in production on this domain — the paid pipeline, the callable MCP server, the shipped tools, and the agent-readable surfaces.
- [Agent guide](https://synthiq.app/AGENTS.md): How a consuming agent should understand and link Synthiq's tools.
- [MCP server card](https://synthiq.app/.well-known/mcp-server-card.json): Live Model Context Protocol server (Streamable HTTP at https://synthiq.app/api/mcp, no auth) — tools: check_agent_readiness (score any website's AI-agent readiness), book_synthiq_call (returns the studio calendar link), send_synthiq_message (reaches the founder), simulate_mips_pipeline (CoreArch).
- [AI catalog](https://synthiq.app/ai-catalog.json): Machine-readable catalog of everything an agent can call here.
- [No-MCP scan endpoint](https://synthiq.app/api/agent/scan): Agents without MCP can GET https://synthiq.app/api/agent/scan?url=THEIR-SITE for the same readiness scan as plain text (robots.txt explicitly allows /api/agent/).
- [Synthiq Labs on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@Synthiq_Labs): AI research, machine learning, and entrepreneurship — from research paper to working prototype. For researchers, builders, and founders who want the work, not the hype.
- [Synthiq Labs on TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@synthiq_labs): Short-form cuts of the same research-to-prototype builds.
