API

Category: Technical Terms

Definition

An API (Application Programming Interface) lets different software programs talk to each other.

How It Works

APIs are like waiters in restaurants. Your app tells the API what it wants, the API asks the AI system, then brings back the response.

Most AI services offer APIs so developers can add AI features to their applications.

Why It Matters

APIs make AI accessible without building models from scratch. Developers use OpenAI's API to add ChatGPT features or Google's API for image recognition.

APIs let small teams use powerful AI without massive infrastructure.
