pushes back.

Watch Synapse vet a curriculum. It doesn't just nod along. It challenges the scope, suggests tradeoffs, and ensures the plan is viable before a single line of code is written.

The AI tutor proposes the curriculum track and milestones.
You approve, redirect, and nudge scope just like a tech lead.
Every exchange is logged as a clear chat between tutor and developer.

ChatGPT course · broadcast lesson

Now, let's focus on the magic.

This HTML file is totally self-contained. There's no fetch() call to our server.

Think of this web component like a satellite dish. It can't make its own shows; it can only display what's being broadcast to it.

In this case, the "broadcast" comes from ChatGPT via a special JavaScript object: window.openai.

Take a look at the <script> tag. Where is the first place our code looks for the list of tasks provided by ChatGPT?

First place we pull tasks is the ChatGPT broadcast:

const tasks = [...(window.openai?.toolOutput?.tasks ?? [])];

The Synapse Methodology

We disassembled the brain of a Staff Engineer and turned it into specific, trainable behaviors.

Synapse behaves like a staff engineer in your ear.

You never get spoon-fed code. Synapse keeps probing your reasoning, uncovering gaps before they become blockers.

Guiding prompts that force you to articulate intent.
Clarifying follow-ups when your answer is vague.
Momentum nudges when you stall or second-guess yourself.
Outcome: durable understanding

Stop generating code you can't debug.

Vibe coding is powerful, but dangerous if you don't know the fundamentals. Synapse ensures you're the pilot, not the cargo.
