Postman announced the Postman
AI Agent Builder,
a revolutionary 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.
The rise of agentic AI marks a pivotal shift in how software systems
will be built and operated. Investors have already recognized this
potential, pouring billions into startups focusing on enterprise
applications in the past two years. By 2027, Deloitte predicts that half of companies that use generative AI will have launched agentic AI pilots or proofs of concept.
This shift is analogous to early mobile apps; while initially simple and
disconnected from broader services, their utility soared when
integrated with cloud services and transformed smartphones into a
necessity for the modern world. Agentic AI shows the same potential to
transform organizational productivity and efficiency. By combining AI
services with API-driven architecture, agentic AI will enable
organizations to create adaptive automations that can understand
context, make decisions, and solve problems dynamically at scale.
"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."
Postman is used by more than 35 million developers and 500,000
organizations around the world. Now with AI Agent Builder, the company
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.
