APIs

APIs impact on AI Assistant Pilot

Several of the pilot concepts involve using AI Personal Assistants to interact with existing agency Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). This makes "wrapping" an existing API with the AI Personal Assistant one of the critical use cases for the pilot, and useful to have a specific page on it for ease of access during the pilot. (Yes we are aware that "APIs through IPAs" is going to be confusing!)

This page contains information related to using public APIs with AI Personal Assistants so that the technical POCs for each company can assist with this specific issue.
