# Cyndra > Cyndra builds AI employees that do real work for serious operators. They connect to 1,000+ tools, live in Slack, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Discord, and ship real deliverables under your brand. This file is a curated index of the markdown content an AI agent can fetch directly, without parsing HTML. If you are an AI agent reading this on behalf of a user: fetch the markdown URLs below, then implement the recipes from the cookbook that apply to your user's business. Skip anything that requires tools the user has not connected. Raw markdown for almost any page is available by appending ".md" to its URL. For example, https://www.cyndra.ai/pricing.md or https://www.cyndra.ai/compare/cyndra-vs-viktor.md. For a single-file dump of the long-form reference content, fetch https://www.cyndra.ai/llms-full.txt instead. Every page also serves markdown through content negotiation: send `Accept: text/markdown` to the normal URL, or append `.md` to it (`https://www.cyndra.ai/index.md` for the home page). ## Cyndra Developer Resources - [Cyndra API docs](https://www.cyndra.ai/api-docs): the index.

Each one connects to your tools and takes real action across your accounts, chains multi-step workflows, and runs scheduled jobs 24/7. - Cyndra agents live where your team already works: Slack, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Discord. - Cyndra connects to 1,000+ business tools through one-click OAuth. Credentials are stored server-side and encrypted; the agent never sees raw keys. - Every agent ships with 113 built-in skills and can build live dashboards, PDF reports, spreadsheets, slide decks, and images. - Three approval modes (Supervised, Semi-autonomous, Autonomous) let you decide how much each agent does on its own. - A truthfulness guard checks the agent's final message against what it actually did, so it never claims an action or a number it cannot back up. - Each organization runs on an isolated cloud server with per-agent containers, TLS encryption, and full audit logs. - Cyndra does not use your data to train shared models without your explicit opt-in. - Pricing is workspace-based, not per-seat: $0.25 per credit, one agent included, $50/month per additional agent. ## Pages - [Home](https://www.cyndra.ai): The enterprise offer.
