Large language models (LLMs) and AI agents don’t operate in isolation—they rely on APIs to access data, trigger actions, and interact with other systems. Even with the recent introduction of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), APIs are still the connective tissue that power agentic workflows, and as AI becomes increasingly autonomous, so does the need for secure, observable, and policy-driven connectivity.  

Kong is uniquely positioned to support the AI wave by extending its proven API infrastructure to cover AI use cases through the Kong AI Gateway—built on the same core runtime as Kong Gateway. Whether you’re deploying AI agents to automate business processes, copilots to enhance developer workflows, or chatbots to improve the customer experience, Kong can help you govern and scale AI usage responsibly across your entire organization.
