Kong powers rapid AI innovation at enterprise scale
The AI opportunity: Winner takes everything
How you deploy AI will define the future of your business. And how you govern AI will define the future of your AI deployment. We already know that lack of visibility, fragmentation, and governance gaps are killing early AI programs.

But your AI program? It can thrive. Your business can drastically increase margins with AI. And you can unify security and visibility for all AI consumption — from the agent to the LLM to the API to the data itself.
How? By unifying fragmented AI, API, and event data ecosystems — all in one platform.
Fragmentation drives AI failure. AI connectivity drives AI success.
Fragmentation kills velocity. Fragmentation spawns security vulnerabilities. Fragmentation brings critical services down. Fragmentation blows through budgets.
Fragmentation suffocates innovation.
Get un-fragmented. Unify your AI cost, security, and risk posture with Konnect. And unleash AI innovation.

Everything AI connectivity — all in one platform.
No matter what AI-powered applications you're building — and no matter fuels them — they need AI fuel to do their jobs well. That fuel could be APIs. It could be LLMs and MCP servers. And it could be real-time data and events.
No matter what you build, and no matter what fuel it needs, Kong is the AI connectivity layer connecting it all.

Break silos
United Airlines removed data silos and moved to a cloud native platform to manage thousands of APIs across hundreds of application teams, reducing API onboarding time by 2–3x, reducing latency for mission-critical workloads, and significantly hardening their reliability and security posture.
Capture maximum innovation potential
SeatGeek centralized LLM request validation at the gateway layer to eliminate the risk of spoofed traffic, avoided the need to duplicate code across more than a dozen microservices, reduced engineering time by 2–3 weeks of development per service, maintained a seamless user experience, and accelerated time-to-market for new capabilities.
Ship APIs and products faster
Siemens turned Kong into a smart control and observability layer for their event streams. They eliminated the need for decentralized data storage across teams, reduced redundant infrastructure, accelerated integration time by ~70% for new API consumers, and unlocked faster product innovation.
Ship compliant AI products
H&M pivoted from a fragmented AI governance model to a secure, unified, and scalable platform. They shrunk the onboarding time for new AI services from weeks to days, and rolled out financial oversight. They also reduced LLM operational costs through intelligent routing and centralized rate limiting and 100% centralized logging and auditability for all AI traffic to meet compliance requirements.
Turn APIs into revenue — not cost — centers
BT Group is streamlining its previously fragmented API ecosystem, making it easier and more cost-effective to adopt emerging technologies, such as generative AI.
Accelerate your deployment capabilities
Goldman Sachs needed a scalable solution to help balance compliance and speed. With Kong, they're able to speed up development and accelerate new business opportunities.
