Sensedia launches AI Copilot to accelerate and improve API development

Sensedia, a global leader in API and integration solutions, announced the launch of Sensedia AI Copilot, a groundbreaking AI assistant designed to facilitate all phases of API management, governance and application integration.

"At uisa, our management board focuses not only on technology and innovation, but also on efficiency and improving the company's profitability. Sensedia AI Copilot frees up human resources to think about operational efficiency and automates a usually complex process. This solution simplifies business transformation."

The solution embodies Sensedia's 17+ years of experience in developing API strategies and best practices. Sensedia AI Copilot can be customized to understand each customer's business context and combine API management best practices and guidelines to suggest improvements, develop APIs from scratch, detect security flaws, and improve documentation accuracy. The solution can evaluate APIs published on multiple gateways, providing comprehensive API management.

Unveiled at the APIX 2024 Global Customer Conference, AI Copilot helps customers align API and integration strategies with business goals, transforming digital channels and integrated ecosystems.

"Sensedia's AI Copilot leverages what generative AI does best - helping developers and platform engineers create APIs through customized paths, but more than that, this solution will impact every step of their API journey. This solution leverages years of API development experience to deliver a simple, personalized and ethically human-centric API AI experience to improve business innovation," said Lisa Arthur, Sensedia's US Director and Global CMO.

How it works

Sensedia AI Copilot simplifies the entire API creation journey - from planning and design to implementation, testing and validation, documentation, deployment, and management - and is now easy, fast, and intuitive to navigate with artificial intelligence.

By applying years of industry best practices, AI Assistant improves productivity and outcomes by creating robust and efficient APIs that are easy to customize, tweak, publish and manage.

Users can securely upload their data to create custom APIs, with artificial intelligence suggesting routes and access points according to market best practices for ease of use and security. The solution then automatically generates APIs ready for customization and integration with Sensedia's API Manager, allowing for flexible documentation management and automatic contract creation.

"Sensedia AI Copilot is designed with a clear focus on providing responsible AI. We adhere to strict ethical principles to ensure transparency, fairness and safety. We maintain human oversight at all critical stages of the process to avoid errors and ensure quality," explains Kleber Bacili, CEO of Sensedia.

Bacili also notes other key capabilities for designing and building APIs to fit each company's strategy. "Another major differentiator of the solution is the secure uploading of documents to private databases. This new capability allows users to customize APIs to best support their business, strategy and planning processes. Sensedia customers will also be able to improve their response process as all data received is authenticated and encrypted to maximize security and mitigate risk."

The Gartner® study "Hype Cycle for Artificial Intelligence, 2023" states that "AI development enables organizations to build and grow high-value AI portfolios." Most AI developments are currently limited by significant operational bottlenecks. With AI engineering techniques - DataOps, ModelOps and DevOps - it is possible to put models into production in a structured, repeatable factory-to-model structure to realize significant value."

Proven benefits

Sensedia customer uisa, one of the largest biorefineries in Brazil, successfully tested Sensedia AI Copilot, demonstrating a number of benefits. The solution accelerated uisa's development process to build and launch the API. Sensedia AI Copilot simplified adherence to industry best practices, resulting in more robust and efficient APIs, reduced human error and automation of repetitive processes, easier customization and adjustment of routes and endpoints, and simplified integration with Sensedia API Manager (a comprehensive API management platform).

According to Rodrigo Gonçalves, Director of Technology and Innovation at uisa, Sensedia AI Copilot is not just a tool for creating APIs, it generates business: "The solution helps us simplify our design and creation processes. Anyone can create an API. In other words, we democratize processes, making them more manageable."

Gonsalves adds that the solution has given uisa's technology team more time to think about the business. "What used to take five or six days can now be done in an hour or two, saving time. Introducing intelligence into our processes provides huge savings and efficiencies for the company."

Sensedia AI Copilot is a tool to increase efficiency in achieving results," commented Gonsalves, "Here at uisa, our board of directors is not only focused on technology and innovation, but also on efficiency and improving the profitability of the company. Sensedia AI Copilot frees up human resources to think about improving operational efficiency and automates a usually complex process. This solution simplifies business transformation."

Next Steps

Sensedia hopes to further enhance the functionality of Sensedia AI Copilot and improve the user experience through self-learning. The product can leverage the latest enhancements by providing more accurate and contextualized predictions and suggestions in line with the continuous evolution of artificial intelligence models.

"Sensedia AI Copilot does not replace human work, but complements it by automating repetitive and error-prone tasks and allowing developers and architects to focus on the more strategic and creative aspects of API management and Governance initiatives. Using this solution enhances the user experience and adds business value," emphasizes Bacili.
