Frank has over 15 years of experience in the technology industry, his roles spanning from software engineering to enterprise architecture. His mission is to inspire, engage with, and support the API community as well as SmartBear customers across the end-to-end API development lifecycle and management space.

Frank is discussing how the new Arazzo Specification, developed under the OpenAPI Initiative, enables the ability to craft workflows, a series of API calls, in a human- and machine-readable format. The Arazzo Specification can provide a sufficient level of predictable determinism to AI models, allowing them to offer a natural language abstraction on top of the business use cases, while in parallel giving interoperability benefits to the actual API providers. The result is more value with less vendor lock-in and consistent API offerings for both humans and the new wave of AI consumers.

The benefits for human consumers are equally valuable, and the Arazzo Specification affords the ability to unlock API value and improve developer experience for API producers and consumers. Overall, the Arazzo Specification improves the capability of API specifications to tell the story of the API in a manner that improves interoperability across industries.
