Third place went to QuadAI, which aimed to improve the search functionality of Kong's Developer Portal by integrating AI for better API specification indexing and querying. Verifone GSC secured fourth place with a plugin that uses machine learning to provide natural language analytics of unstructured data, such as logs. AI Plugin Guru rounded out the top five with an add-on for Kong's Developer Portal that accelerates plugin development through ChatGPT-generated code. Many other noteworthy contributions were recognized with digital badges and contributions to the Diane Fossey Gorilla Fund, reflecting the community's enthusiasm and talent for AI and API development.
