SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--POST/CON-- Postman, the world’s leading API collaboration platform, today released v11, a significant update that drastically speeds up development by reducing collaboration friction on APIs. Announced in conjunction with POST/CON 2024, v11 is a groundbreaking advancement poised to revolutionize software development. Just as SVN gave way to Git, and Git evolved into GitHub, the next wave is upon us, driven by the symbiotic relationship between AI and APIs."In the age of AI, everything is an API," says Abhinav Asthana, co-founder and CEO of Postman, emphasizing the critical role APIs play in empowering artificial intelligence. In Postman’s most recent State of the API report, 60% of API professionals reported that they employ generative AI tools for use cases such as finding mistakes in code, producing code, and coding instruction. There was also wide agreement that AI will deliver a boost in developer productivity, with the largest share of respondents forecasting improvements of up to 25%. Furthermore, Gartner® estimates that by 2026, more than 80% of enterprises will have used generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) APIs or models, up from less than 5% in 20231.To realize those gains of AI, APIs must be thought of first and foremost
