San Francisco, CA, October 2025 - Synthpop, Inc., the AI Healthcare company transforming how providers automate clinical and administrative workflows, today announced that the team behind airt has joined Synthpop to strengthen its AI engineering and product capabilities.
Airt was known for developing intelligent automation and open-source workflow tools that simplified how AI agentic teams connected data, models, and business processes. The airt team made major contributions to AutoGen, Microsoft’s open-source framework for building agentic AI applications, and developed FastStream, an open-source platform for building asynchronous services. Both projects were recognized in 2023 by the International Open Benchmark Council as among the Top 100 Open-Source Projects of the Year. Their expertise in building scalable, production-grade AI systems will accelerate Synthpop’s mission to eliminate administrative bottlenecks in healthcare.
“Our customers are able to harness the most cutting-edge technology in agentic automation - because we have such an immense talent density. It’s not about delivering a thin abstraction layer or a point solution. It’s about bringing deep expertise in agentic AI coupled with decades of healthcare experience to each and every customer deployment. We’re attracting the top engineers in the world and are thrilled to welcome the airt team to Synthpop,” said Elad Ferber, Synthpop’s co-founder and CEO. “Their technical excellence and shared vision for making automation intelligent, scalable, and human-centered make this a perfect match. Agents can do some things extremely well today - but what they are not is a replacement for humans. Designing agentic flows that are human-centered - that can utilize agentic capabilities to their fullest while empowering humans to do more, is the core of our platform.”
“This marks an exciting step in Synthpop’s growth,” added Jan Jannink, co-founder and CTO of Synthpop. “The airt team brings a rare combination of innovation, execution, and empathy for end users, exactly what it takes to deliver AI that truly makes healthcare work better for everyone involved.”|
Advancing Agentic Capabilities
This integration will accelerate Synthpop’s roadmap toward a fully unified AI platform that helps healthcare providers manage operations more efficiently. By combining Synthpop’s healthcare expertise with the airt team’s agentic AI strengths, the company will deliver even faster, more intuitive solutions for hospitals, clinics, and partners.
“Joining Synthpop allows us to bring our technology and ideas to a larger platform,” said Hajdi Cenan, formerly co-founder and CEO of airt, now taking on a role as a Senior technical program manager at Synthpop, to help bridge business and engineering priorities. “We’ve always believed that AI should empower people and make their lives better, and Synthpop and its work in healthcare is the best place to make that vision real.”
“This integration marks an important milestone for our engineering organization,” said Davor Runje, former co-founder and CTO of airt, now VP of Agentic Engineering at Synthpop. “The airt team’s experience in agentic workflow design directly strengthens our ability to deliver AI agents that can truly understand healthcare complexity and bring real operational impact.”
Jan and Davor share a long history of collaboration, having first worked together over 20 years ago at Napster, where they helped pioneer early large-scale digital systems. Their reunion at Synthpop underscores the company’s continued focus on combining deep technical expertise with trusted partnerships built over decades.
Synthpop’s platform already automates critical administrative and clinical tasks across healthcare - including sorting and processing incoming documents, validating multi-page medical orders, checking insurance eligibility, and verifying clinical documentation. Its AI agents are designed and evaluated to excel in healthcare-specific tasks, ready to deploy with minimal setup, and built with strict adherence to HIPAA compliance and data security standards.
Rather than relying on heavy integrations, Synthpop’s system works seamlessly within existing workflows, allowing healthcare organizations to realize efficiency gains quickly while maintaining accuracy and safety.
The addition of the airt team marks another milestone in Synthpop’s growth as it continues to attract top engineering talent to build the infrastructure for the next generation of healthcare AI.
