Gathering Input Around Gen AI and API Management

Bill Doerrfeld | March 25, 2024

How is AI evolving API management?

Generative AI and large language models (LLMs) are having a massive effect on software development. At the Austin API Summit 2024, AI took the main stage in keynotes and dominated the Q&A discussions between sessions. There was a lot of interesting discussion on how AI will catalyze future API development and how to effectively secure LLMs.


So, I'm curious to know how AI is shifting the API management landscape. I'm collecting expert input for an article exploring how gen AI affects the API landscape. I would love to understand real-life use cases that go beyond speculation.


I'm specifically looking for responses from technical leadership involved in API management solutions and API-first products. If you are interested in submitting input, please submit using the form here. The article will most likely be published on Nordic APIs.


Deadline for submission: Friday March 29 at 5pmPT.


Update: this article is now published on the Nordic APIs blog
