Building AI agents that can take meaningful actions in the real world is one of the biggest challenges in AI development. How many of you have tried to connect an AI assistant to external services, only to get stuck in API integration hell?

Have you seen the Tool Generation API that instantly converts any API from Postman’s Public API Network into agent-ready tools?

Imagine building an AI agent that curates your daily news based on your interests - business articles during the week, lifestyle and arts on weekends. Your agent needs to interact directly with APIs like the New York Times to make this happen.

Our new Tool Generation API makes this incredibly simple:

  1. Search for any API in the Public API Network
  2. Select your preferred language (JavaScript/TypeScript now, more coming soon!)
  3. Choose your agent framework (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.)
  4. Generate production-ready code instantly

What APIs would you connect to your AI agents? Would you build a personal assistant that manages your calendar, a content curator, or something else entirely?

With this tool, your agents can now easily process payments through PayPal, manage documents in Notion, post updates on Discord, and interact with thousands more APIs from our network.

What’s your biggest challenge when building AI agents? Have you tried connecting them to external APIs before? Share your experiences below!

From an accessibility perspective, connecting an agent to Momento Topics is always my first integration. It’s a pub/sub service the agent could publish to in order to get messages or notifications down to a user in real time.

For example, if I have a web app that kicks off an agentic workflow, I can subscribe to a topic directly in the browser to get notified asynchronously when the workflow is done. Upon completion, the agent just sends a publish request, and the message of completion is sent immediately to that waiting user. It’s such a simple interface for push notifications - especially without having to host a WebSocket server or any other infrastructure :fire:

Topics on the API Network for reference.
