Looking forward to speaking at #DeveloperWeek this week (Feb 18th-20th), and participating in the first @openapis.org summit of 2026. “You may have #OpenAPI, but is it AI-Ready?” I'll be exploring what it means to prepare your APIs for agentic and AI-driven uses through 6 key dimensions.

Short walkthrough of our 𝗔𝗜‑𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱 and diagnostics for #APIs. Most APIs expect devs to fill in gaps in the #OpenAPI description. Expecting AI agents to do that safely is an operational risk. We score six dimensions to show where APIs break for AI consumers. Try at: jentic.com/scorecard

Great round‑up from 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙋𝙄 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙜. The trend of #APIs as the enabling layer for #AI is clear, showing up in real‑time voice, messaging integrations, and driving standardization. @jentic.bsky.social is proud to sponsor and partner with @brunopedro.com. apichangelog.substack.com/p/2026-06

"Looking back at the end of January 2026, it feels like one of those moments where several threads in the API economy quietly tied themselves together." The API Changelog weekly summaries issue is back! Thanks to @jentic.bsky.social for making it possible! apichangelog.substack.com/p/2026-05

Looking forward to speaking at the National Open Source Innovation Summit (Feb 6th), as part of a panel diving into Global Trends in Open Source AI. Great agenda: summit.openirelandnetwork.com/agenda #opensource #jentic #openirelandnetwork #apis4ai

Most APIs are designed for humans, not machines. Here are six dimensions to ensure your systems are interpretable, safe and ready for AI integration. By @jentic.bsky.social Head of Enterprise Architecture @fkilcommins.bsky.social

First post of the year with @thenewstack.io . Having reviews 1000s of APIs, I outline why most APIs break down in AI systems and 6 practical dimensions for making APIs AI-ready. To get more ROI from agents, we have to solve integration (it's the execution layer!). thenewstack.io/why-most-api...

What if you could query the official MCP registry from inside the Arazzo Visual Editor? This demo shows how easy it is to find the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server you want to use on your Arazzo workflow. By using the official MCP registry, you can quickly find the MCP server you're looking for.

For folks straddling #API and #AI lands: we’ve shipped Jentic OpenAPI Tools to #PyPI. A Python toolkit for parsing, validating, and transforming #OpenAPI docs, built with a pluggable backend architecture and strong type safety. Check it out at: pypi.org/project/jent... @jentic.bsky.social

The “Agentic Sandbox” - A simulated environment that mirrors internal APIs and data systems, letting teams test agents safely, identify high-value use cases, and promote only validated workflows (as #Arazzo) to production capability registry. jentic.com/blog/the-age...

🚀 #OpenAPI 3.2 is live! A backwards-compatible release with: • New HTTP methods (incl. QUERY) • Better tags system • Support for streaming media types • Updated OAuth support Upgrade guide learn.openapis.org/upgrading/v3... Big thanks to the @openapis.org contributors who made this happen.

𝙉𝙤 𝘼𝙄 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝘼𝙋𝙄𝙨 I’ll speak at APIDays London (Sep 24) in the OpenAPI track; exploring how to capture intent and ensure we build the right APIs! I'll show how to use Example Mapping and pair AI with #OpenAPI/ #Arazzo to accelerate with purpose Comp Tickets: ticket.apidays.global/event/apiday...

We are looking forward to the OAI Track - this time the OpenAPI Summit! - at API:World next week! Read our thoughts on what makes the OAI Track so important in bringing the #OpenAPI, #Arazzo, and #Overlay Specifications to the community. www.openapis.org/blog/2025/08... #api

The agenda is out for the API World OAI Track, running Sept. 3 to 5, 2025. Checkout the details on our events page: www.openapis.org/events/apiwo... #api #openapi #arazzo #overlay

MCP is changing how we expose #APIs to AI agents but mapping tools 1:1 to endpoints is fragile. Context gets bloated. Orchestration gets baked-in. Interoperability gets lost. In my latest blog, I suggest pairing #Arazzo + #MCP to counteract the challenges above! 👉 smartbear.com/blog/from-en...

AI is evolving fast and structured, deterministic interfaces still matter. For agents to reason and act reliably, they need more than endpoints. They need well-designed API capabilities. I covered more on the topic below👇 smartbear.com/blog/why-api... #OpenAPI #AgenticWorkflows #MCP #Arazzo

Friday ToDo: Cycle all passwords 🔒 𝟭𝟲 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 credentials (for social media, email, VPNs, dev portals) have been leaked according to security researchers. For "dev portals" you should also cycle issued keys/credentials for clients (with advance comms of course). www.forbes.com/sites/daveyw...

APIs are being generated at lightning speed (GenAI 🚀), and AI is now a major API consumer (including the malicious kind) Have you already adopted a secure-by-design approach? 🔒 Tip: Know the OWASP API Top 10 📺 Video breakdown: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... #apisecurity #owasp #securebydesign
