The connectivity platform

Your product needs to connect.
It wasn't built to.

Outward to customers and partners. Across to the external tools your users depend on. And to the AI agents now automating the work inside it. Pontil generates and maintains that connectivity layer from your existing codebase — without a rewrite.

THE PROBLEM

Connectivity always arrives from outside. The product is rarely ready for it.

SaaS products spent years being built for the interface. The work went into the screens. The API kept up with some of it; most of it, it never did. Now the demand to connect is coming from three directions at once — and the same gap blocks all of them.

A customer or partner asks for programmatic access, and the API was never built to be consumed externally. Your users expect the product to talk to the external tools they already run, and your team is hand-writing connectors to keep up. An agent project works in the sandbox and stalls in production, because the product's API doesn't expose what the agent needs to act on.

The three cards on the table

01

Rewrite the API layer

Two-to-five-year project. Competes with the product roadmap. Doesn't get funded.

rejected
02

Build it by hand, piece by piece

Works once. Doesn't compound across a portfolio. The maintenance burden outgrows the value.

doesn't scale
03

Wait for someone else to cover you

A foundation-model provider, an iPaaS catalogue, a partner. Covers the popular surface, leaves the long tail uncovered, and hands your connectivity story to someone else.

What if there was a fourth option?

04

Pontil

Pontil generates the connectivity layer from the code you already have — and maintains it as the product changes. One engine, pointed outward to customers, inward to external tools, or forward to agents. No rewrite.

how pontil works

One engine. Three directions you can point it.

Pontil runs on a single engine. It scans your codebase — or ingests an OpenAPI spec — and generates structured, versioned definitions for what your product can do. It runs them through a managed execution layer with retries, rate limiting, auth, and observability. And it maintains them: detecting changes, assessing impact, regenerating, and running tests, with human approval required before anything ships.

What changes is the direction you point it — and who you're connecting to. The shared engine is what makes Pontil a platform rather than three separate products to buy, learn, and operate.

Pontil Headless

A public API layer for customers and partners.

Generates and maintains a public API surface from your existing codebase, so customers and partners can integrate with your product programmatically — without your team building or maintaining that layer from scratch.

Pontil Integrations

Bespoke connectors to the external tools your users need.

Generates and maintains connectors to external products from their OpenAPI specs, so your product can reach the tools your customers already use — without engineers writing and babysitting bespoke connector code. Deliberately not an iPaaS.

Pontil Tools

Agent-ready tools from the product you've already built.

Generates and maintains agent-ready tools from your codebase and surfaces them at runtime through an SDK, so agents can act on your product's full capability — at the authenticated user's permission level, without a backend rewrite.

where pontil fits

Different products feel the same gap differently.

01
Illustration of a vertical SaaS use case for Pontil

Vertical SaaS

You probably look like this if your customers live in one industry and your product runs deep workflows that exist nowhere else.

The UI is rich. The API was built for the integrations that mattered most. Now customers want API access, their users want it connected to their other tools, and agents are on the roadmap — and none of it reaches what the UI does.

With Pontil: Connectivity is generated from the codebase, not from the published API — in whichever direction the demand is coming from.

02
Illustration of a multi-product SaaS platform use case for Pontil

Multi-product platform

You probably look like this if you sell a portfolio. Each product has its own backend, its own API patterns, its own team.

A connectivity rewrite for one product is hard enough. Across the portfolio it's a non-starter — and the demand spans all of it.

With Pontil: The engine runs across the portfolio in parallel. One platform, one approach, every product, every direction.

03
Illustration of an internal platform use case for Pontil

Internal platforms

You probably look like this if you run dozens of internal platforms — some ancient, some new, none built to connect.

Teams want internal agents, copilots, and integrations that can actually do things. The platforms behind those workflows are sprawling, undocumented, and impossible to rewrite at portfolio scale.

With Pontil: The scanner runs against each app where it lives, generates the connectivity without a rewrite, and keeps it current as the apps evolve.

security

We don't cross the boundary. We become part of it.

Data never leaves your trust boundary. Pontil runs inside the infrastructure you already operate, authenticates as your users — never a shared service account — and writes audit trails your security team can read the same way they read everything else.

how pontil compares

Where Pontil fits versus the alternatives.

Generic categories, no named vendors. The alternatives aren't wrong — they don't fit the size of the problem, or they only cover one direction of it. Use this to map Pontil against the play your team has already considered.
