## AI overview

The article presents Orbit by Postman, which lets developers and AI agents discover public API endpoints by describing a desired workflow in plain language. Orbit evaluates endpoint capabilities, identifies gaps, and generates integration details such as authentication, URLs, parameters, response shapes, execution order, and implementation pitfalls. It can be accessed through search and integration endpoints or via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

I couldn't name the API my feature needed. Orbit found it in one search, then handed me the request bodies and the three bugs I'd have shipped. The post How AI Agents Discover and Integrate Public APIs appeared first on Postman Blog.
