Postman Makes Building Software Accessible to All, Announces Postman Flows

Businesswire | March 23, 2023 | Read time : 05:00 min

Postman, the world’s leading API Platform, today announced the general availability of Postman Flows, a visual tool for creating API applications. Postman Flows simplifies building software by using APIs as the building blocks, allowing anyone to produce workflows, integrations, and automations in a collaborative environment without needing to write a single line of code.

With Postman Flows, the company is leaning into demand for a low-code solution that lets people build software without extensive programming experience. Using tens of thousands of readily available APIs, business users can manipulate data with API calls and create workflows. This allows everyone, from financial analysts and customer service agents to senior business leaders, to devise solutions to problems they encounter every day.

“APIs are the building blocks of modern software. However, those blocks have not always been accessible to everyone,” said Abhinav Asthana, co-founder and CEO of Postman. “We are on a mission to change this. With more than 25 million users across every continent, we believe Postman can accomplish this at a massive scale so that any user, anywhere, can build and participate in today’s API-first world.”

Postman Flows makes it simple to construct API applications without needing to write code or fiddle with a command line. Inspired by the concept of “blocks” to form and visualize an application, users simply drag the blocks, build the application, and deploy the workflow. And Postman Flows leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to enable users to manipulate data returned by APIs by simply typing out what they want to do in natural language, making it easy for all. Hundreds of thousands of users have already built API applications using Postman Flows during its beta program.

“Postman Flows is the sweet spot for us, as it gives our non-technical team members a low-code tool to build, document, test, and implement an API workflow,” said Thomas Schlegel, distinguished engineer at Built Technologies. “We can accomplish tasks faster with fewer errors, and we look forward to maximizing these benefits across the organization.”

“Postman Flows makes prototyping and testing easy,” said Sid Verma, partner engineer at Notion. “Building connections visually is more intuitive and clear, which results in spending more time building and less time digging through code. I’m excited to see the future of Flows and Notion!”

Cyara Announces OpenAI GPT-3 Integration to Accelerate Conversational AI Chatbot Training and Testing

Businesswire | May 24, 2023

Cyara, the creator and leader of the Customer Experience (CX) Assurance category, today announced its integration of OpenAI’s GPT-3, which will accelerate the generation of training and testing data for Cyara Botium, the company’s one-stop solution for comprehensive, automated chatbot and conversational AI CX testing and assurance. By integrating OpenAI’s GPT-3, it allows enterprises to accelerate the development of their chatbots and voicebots while simultaneously improving chatbot quality. “Cyara is leading the charge in delivering exceptional conversational AI experiences by recognizing the power of large language models (LLMs). This integration is another example of our commitment to delivering cutting-edge chatbot testing solutions to our customers,” said Christoph Börner, Senior Director, Digital at Cyara. “Cyara’s integration of GPT-3 for training and testing conversational AI has not only elevated the industry standard for delivering exceptional chatbot experiences but has also played a pivotal role in shaping the future of CX.” To train and test chatbots, businesses need to be able to identify a wide array of ways a user could express their goal, or intent, for interacting with a chatbot or voicebot. Identifying as many ways as possible a user could express their intent is challenging due to the unpredictable and unlimited options users have. For example, a customer checking their account balance at their bank can express themselves in many different ways (e.g., “check balance,” “what’s my balance,” “how much money do I have”) and a chatbot should recognize any of these options with high confidence. Chatbots that aren’t trained and tested on a comprehensive set of data, are prone to misunderstanding the user, and failing to resolve their issues, leaving them frustrated. In fact, according to a recent study commissioned by Cyara and conducted by Forrester, 61% of consumers believe that a chatbot is often unable to understand what they are asking for. With this integration, Cyara Botium automatically generates a meaningful list of user examples powered by the GPT-3 LLM and the domain the chatbot is programmed to handle. Once the list of user inputs is created, it can be used for training and testing purposes. This improves both speed of development and quality of the chatbot by: Reducing the time it takes to develop training and testing data Reducing labor time and costs during the development and testing process Improves the quality of the chatbot by increasing test coverage. Cyara Botium’s AI-powered Data and Test Generator, built on the OpenAI GPT-3 integration, is currently available for Cyara’s enterprise customers. To learn more about the specific features and benefits of Cyara Botium, please visit cyara.com/products/botium/. About Cyara Cyara, the leader and creator of the CX Assurance category, empowers enterprises and solution providers to deliver flawless interactions through the most comprehensive platform assuring the widest array of communications channels including voice, web, chatbot, video and WebRTC. With coverage in over 80 countries and 200+ points of presence, Cyara automates testing and eliminates time-consuming and error-prone manual testing of contact centers and unified communications platforms.
