Master Workshops: AI-Driven API Design & Build AI-Ready APIs
Master Workshops: API World 2026 - September 1, 2026
Master Workshop #1
AI-Driven API Design
Trainer: Mike Amundsen (Founder & President, Amundsen, Inc.)
Tuesday, September 1, 2026
12:00 PM - 3:00 PM (PST)
API World -- Workshop Stage B
Description
This workshop teaches you how to leverage AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc., to optimize the design, documentation, and testing of web APIs. As AI becomes increasingly crucial in software development, this course will equip you to integrate AI-assisted automation into human-driven API design.
By the end of the course, you will be able to leverage AI to generate structured API documentation, automate security profiling, and produce comprehensive API test scripts, significantly improving efficiency and accuracy. Participants will see real-world exercises, including AI-assisted vocabulary extraction, OpenAPI generation, and automated test scripting, to gain practical experience in AI-powered API development.
Course Objectives
● How AI can assist in API development, from design to testing.
● Methods to extract API vocabulary using AI from user stories.
● How to generate OpenAPI specifications with minimal manual effort.
● Techniques to automate the creation of human-friendly API documentation.
● How AI can assist in identifying security risks and generating security profiles.
● Best practices for using AI-generated API test scripts.
● How to integrate AI-driven automation into an API development workflow.
Course Outcomes
● Utilize AI tools to extract structured API vocabulary from user stories.
● Generate valid OpenAPI documentation using AI assistance.
● Convert OpenAPI specifications into human-readable API documentation.
● Define and assess security policies for APIs using AI-generated insights.
● Generate and validate automated API test scripts with AI support.
Master Workshop #2
Build AI-Ready APIs
Trainer: Emmanuel Paraskakis (Founder @ Level 250)
Tuesday, September 1, 2026
3:00 PM - 6:00 PM (PST)
API World -- Workshop Stage B
In 3 hours, you'll go from an idea to a running, agent-tested API. Requirements, spec, code, deployment, and proof it works with an AI agent. You build it, you test it, you ship it.
Your APIs were built for developers who read docs, ask questions, and figure out edge cases. Agents don't do any of that. They need to discover, call, and chain your APIs without help. When they can't, they move on. To a competitor. To scraping. To telling the user it couldn't be done.
So instead of talking about what agent-ready means, we're going to build it. From scratch. And prove it works.
Course Objectives
Here's what you'll build:
1. What agents actually want from your API, and the one thing they don't
2. The design decisions that separate agent-friendly APIs from the rest
3. Write real requirements using markdown and API standards (we provide them, or bring your own)
4. Design your API and generate an OpenAPI spec with AI
5. Mock it and put it in front of Claude Code. Does the agent understand your spec?
6. Build the real thing with Replit. Running endpoints, live
7. Put your running API in front of an AI agent. Does it actually work?
8. Your agent-readiness checklist and roadmap for your team
9. Q&A and where to go from here
Course Outcomes
You'll walk out with:
- Requirements you wrote
- An OpenAPI spec you generated
- A running API you built and deployed
- Proof it works with an AI agent
- A checklist and roadmap to take back to your team
Fair warning: this isn't a lecture. You'll be building for 3 hours straight.
