API World -- Workshop Stage B (PRO)

Shireen Nagdive, Salesforce, Senior Software Engineer

AI agents are transforming how we interact with APIs, but most APIs aren’t built with AI in mind. Without a clear, machine-readable contract, AI agents struggle to discover, understand, and interact with APIs effectively. OpenAPI Specification (OAS) changes the game by enabling automation, adaptability, and seamless integration. This talk breaks down why OpenAPI is critical for the AI era and shows an AI agent in action, consuming an OpenAPI-defined API in real time. After attending this session, attendees will get a clear understanding of why OpenAPI is essential in the AI-driven API world and see an AI agent in action.

Key Takeaways:
1) Why OpenAPI Matters for AI Agents – Understand how OpenAPI enables AI agents to dynamically discover and consume APIs.

2) Demo: AI + OpenAPI in Action – Watch an AI agent interact with an OpenAPI-defined API in real time.
