Introducing create-api.dev: Generate, Edit, and Share OpenAPI Specs in Seconds

Create-api.dev is a tool developed by Kong to streamline and enhance the OpenAPI specification design process, initially conceived as an internal experiment to leverage AI in API design. It offers a user-friendly platform to generate, refine, and share OpenAPI specs without the need for login or setup, catering to API designers who find traditional tools cumbersome or outdated. Users can create specs from scratch by describing an API, upload existing specs for modification, or use design documents to generate specs. The system employs Google's Gemini model for effective handling of OpenAPI specs and incorporates Kong's own design guidelines. Besides generating specs, create-api.dev allows users to share specs instantly, import them into Kong's Konnect for further policy application, and publish them for developer access. The platform is a live demonstration of Kong's AI Gateway, which enhances AI app production by managing model requests with efficiency, offering protections like prompt injection prevention, and enabling routing and A/B testing across models. Feedback from users is actively encouraged to refine the tool's capabilities.
