Kong announced the launch of the latest version of Kong AI Gateway, which introduces new features to provide the AI security and governance guardrails needed to make GenAI and Agentic AI production-ready.
Postman announced the Postman AI Agent Builder, a suite empowering developers to quickly design, test, and deploy intelligent agents by combining LLMs, APIs, and workflows into a unified solution.
With centralized access to APIs from more than 18,000 companies, no-code modular development using Postman Flows, and built-in testing, Postman simplifies agent creation, enabling faster innovation and enhanced business efficiency.
“APIs are becoming a foundational building block for a new class of generative software applications. As agents gain traction, we could see a 10–100X increase in API utility, enabling software systems to execute increasingly complex workflows,” said Abhinav Asthana, co-founder and CEO of Postman. “Eventually humans will have the option to remove themselves or hand off certain workflows, allowing agents to automate processes — so long as the agents are built with the proper guardrails. With AI Agent Builder, Postman makes this simple to achieve at scale.”
With AI Agent Builder, Postman is setting an industry standard for building, testing, and deploying agents in one trusted, unified location. Key capabilities include:
- Centralized Platform for LLM & API Discovery: Quickly find the necessary LLMs and APIs through the Postman API Network: the world’s largest API hub, home to over 18,000 companies.
- Effortless LLM Testing & Evaluation: Streamline testing of LLM responses by using the Postman client, Collection Runner, or Postman Flows to test prompts and inputs for leading models including OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, Cohere, and Meta’s Llama.
- Accuracy with Verified APIs: Leverage APIs from any of Postman’s verified publishers including Salesforce, PayPal, and UPS to ensure agents are powered by accurate and reliable tools.
- Ready-to-use APIs: Instantly turn APIs into agent-ready tools for seamless integration within developers’ preferred environment, removing the need to re-write boilerplate code for each tool.
- No-Code, Modular Development: Remove complexity with Postman Flows, a visual canvas that eliminates the need for coding when integrating APIs as agent tools and makes it easy to scaffold multi-step workflows with reusable modules.
- Simplified Testing: Test workflows locally, ensuring accurate and reliable outputs across a variety of scenarios without the complexity of managing testing infrastructure.
