A quick reflection on what APIs are, not just technical tools but a way to connect technology and people to solve real problems. This clip comes from a full webinar featuring Frank Kilcommins and Nauman Ali.

Defining an API strategy is important—but its execution is what separates high-performing teams. APIs play a central role in delivering connected, high-quality digital experiences. But turning strategy into execution—at scale—remains a challenge for many organizations.

APIs already account for 71% of all internet traffic, but here's what most companies are missing: AI is about to become the biggest API consumer ever. As generative AI transforms how we interact with software, agentic workflows will perform automated, API-heavy interactions on our behalf. Companies that embrace an API-first approach now will dominate tomorrow's AI economy. In this video Frank Kilcommins, Principal API Technical Evangelist at SmartBear, explains what it means for a software development organization to be API-first.
