No Longer Just a Feature: AI’s Move to Core Infrastructure

Welcome back to The Postman Blurb! 🚀

Have you ever set out to build an AI-powered feature, only to end up in a 12-tab rabbit hole of API docs, model tuning, and weird edge cases that make you question your entire career? Same.

This month, we’re looking at how developers are making AI actually work—without needing a second brain or a third monitor.

Let’s get into it!

💡 Reimagining application development with AI, APIs, and visual workflows

Featured blog by rodric rabbah , Head of Product - Postman Flows

We’ve reached a turning point in application development. AI is no longer optional. It’s becoming foundational—just like cloud infrastructure, authentication, and APIs once did.

Think about it: applications used to run on on-premises servers. Today, the cloud is the backbone of every application, enabling scalability and reliability. Authentication features like OAuth or SSO started as add-ons but are now standard in modern apps. APIs evolved from optional tools to foundational components, powering connectivity and integration. AI is on the same trajectory. It’s becoming the intelligence layer of applications, driving smarter decisions, better personalization, and automated workflows.

Yet embedding AI remains complex. Developers face steep learning curves, scalability challenges, and integration hurdles. The solution is APIs. APIs connect AI capabilities to applications, and also connect AI to real-world actions. They make AI capabilities accessible and scalable. Postman makes APIs simple. Developers can design, test, and manage APIs in one place, simplifying the integration of AI models into applications. This eliminates friction and accelerates innovation. With Postman Flows, we go beyond traditional API management. Flows is a low-code, visual tool that allows developers to prototype AI-driven workflows in minutes, automate tasks without writing complex code, and build intelligent applications faster. Postman reduces complexity, empowering developers to focus on solving real-world problems.

The future of application development is clear: more APIs, more AI, and their intersection—agents. Agents take application development to a new level by automating complex workflows across systems, combining the intelligence of AI with the connectivity of APIs, and enabling developers to build truly adaptive and autonomous applications.

Postman is ready for this future. Our tools help developers navigate this intersection and turn possibilities into reality. The evolution of application development has always been about foundational layers: first cloud infrastructure for scalability and reliability, authentication for security, and APIs for connectivity and integration. Now, AI is becoming the intelligence layer. At Postman, we’re making this future simple. Start with APIs. Use Postman Flows to design and deploy AI-driven workflows. Build faster, smarter, and more efficient applications.

The future is about solving problems, not managing complexity. Are you ready to innovate? Explore Postman tools and see how we’re shaping the next wave of application development.
