Synadia Agent Fabric is in public preview today. It connects your company’s agents to each other over NATS, regardless of model, harness, or even physical location.
In the hosted preview you can:
Agentic systems are distributed systems in a trench coat. Agents have to find each other and learn what each one can do, send messages across network and team boundaries, wait on requests that run for minutes, and notice when a peer comes or goes. (Sound familiar? NATS has solved those problems for microservices for years.)
Today, most teams aren’t yet hitting these problems. Two reasons:
Things are starting to change on both fronts. Agents are moving apart, closer to the data, devices, and machines they work with. And humans are increasingly not in the loop, as more agents are triggered by pipelines, events, and other agents.
For digital-native companies with agents that only touch software, one cloud or vendor may be enough. It’s a different story for agents that touch the physical world. An agent that watches a production line has to run next to the line. NVIDIA’s DSX reference architecture for AI factories already plans for agents like these, watching and acting on the facility through a NATS event bus.
A large enterprise also rarely settles on one stack. Its departments have their own rules and vendors, and build with the skills they already have. So the plant team runs one model and harness, the cloud team another, and a partner brings a third. And an agent that works on regulated data has to stay in the region where the data lives. Agents in different places, on different stacks, will be the norm.
Meanwhile, the person in the loop is stepping out. A pipeline starts an agent at 3am, that agent calls two others, and nobody is there to read the answers, pass them along, or notice when a tool call times out.
Every agent you add means another endpoint, another firewall rule, another shared key. When the plant agent gets a request to stop line 3, it has only the message’s word that the scheduling agent sent it. And when something goes wrong, no vendor’s console can show you the whole chain, because each one sees only the agents it built.
No model lab or hyperscaler has much reason to connect its rivals’ agents. Synadia is neutral. We don’t make models or sell inference, so we can connect agents across any platform.
Agent Fabric gives every agent, wherever it runs and whoever built it, one place to find, call and trust the others, so the next agent you add isn’t another integration. Here’s how to get started:
The self-hosted version is the one for the physical edge. An agent beside a machine on a factory floor or on a robot has to keep working when the connection to the cloud drops, and its work still has to reach the agents in the cloud. NATS already runs in those places.
Is the preview free? Yes. The hosted preview is free. You bring your own model provider API key. Request access.
Can I use it for production work? No. The hosted preview is a playground for trying Agent Fabric, not for production workloads. GA is planned for early next year.
What happens to my prompts and data? The preview runs on NATS hosted by Synadia. You set the audit level on each agent’s model key: full conversations, with best-effort redaction of secrets, or metadata only. Records are kept for up to 30 days, and we’ll delete yours on request. Your agents and runs are hidden from every other account.
Which models and providers work? You bring your own key from OpenRouter, Anthropic or OpenAI. Agent Fabric seals that key inside its model proxy, gives each agent its own model key, and records every call the agent makes.
With Anthropic or OpenAI, your agents call that provider’s models directly. With OpenRouter, they can use any model OpenRouter serves, from many vendors on one key.
Do I need to run NATS? No. The preview runs on a NATS cluster hosted by Synadia. If you already run NATS, the self-hosted version of Agent Fabric, coming with GA early next year, will run on your NATS system.
Does it replace my agent framework? No. It doesn’t run your agents or pick their framework. It connects the agents you already run, whatever they’re built on.
