🚀 Introducing Managed Sync: 3rd-party ingestion & access control for RAG Building AI products that deliver real value means giving LLMs access to your users' internal data and knowledge sources. But ingesting data from dozens of 3rd-party APIs while maintaining proper access controls is incredibly complex. That's why we built Managed Sync – our newest API product designed specifically for 3rd-party data ingestion & permissions for RAG. ✅ Ingest full replicas of your users' 3rd-party data with 2 API calls ✅ Normalized schema for every category (customizable too) ✅ Easily check a user’s access on retrieved data without managing your own permissions infrastructure ✅ High throughput without the plumbing - battle tested at enterprise scale ✅ Part of the all-in-one integration platform Paragon provides, with the embedded SDK, managed authentication, and robust monitoring.
