SUPERFACE.AI TIED UP AI THE FUNDAMENTAL FLAW NLP WORKS, API CONNECTION DOES NOT

SUPERFACE.AI API INTEGRATIONS HAND MADE & MAINTAINED

SUPERFACE.AI THIS IS NOT THE FUTURE OF AI…

SUPERFACE.AI HEFTY BURDEN MANUAL INTEGRATIONS

SUPERFACE.AI TIME TO MARKET PROHIBITIVE INTEGRATIONS ISVs CIOs / IT System Integrators No. integrations in 2020 15 20 18 No. integrations in 2021 > 20 > 20 25 Average time to build integration 58 days 47 days 28 days Peak time to build < 300 days < 260 days < 150 days

API CONSUMPTION SUPERFACE.AI DEPENDENCIES WITHOUT CONTROL • Do you have API integrations tests for all the APIs you’re using? • How do you know what vendor APIs you’re using? Which teams are using which vendors? • What would happen if a vendor API went down? Could you switch? Would your products stop working?

SUPERFACE.AI APIS = DEVELOPMENT + INTEGRATION

SUPERFACE.AI EXPERTISE NEEDED API LIFECYCLE HOW YOU CALL WEBMASTER IN 2021? AN API EXPERT. FOR API DEVELOPMENT

CENTER FOR ENABLEMENT CENTER OF EXCELLENCE

SUPERFACE.AI THE COST OF API WORKS SUPERFACE.AI BILLION OF US DOLLARS 
 1.5 billion USD: cost of Burj Kalifa 
 55 billion USD: cost of human mission to Mars 
 100 billion USD: cost of International Space Station ESTIMATED COSTS OF API DEVELOPMENT WORKS IN 2020 100 x 109 USD Work with APIs in 2020: 36% 10–20 hours/week 24,6% 20+ hours/week

SUPERFACE.AI BUT WE HAVE SO MANY API TOOLS THEY WILL FIX IT, RIGHT?

SUPERFACE.AI NO, THEY ALL JUST CURE THE SYMPTOMS NOT THE DISEASE

API: HUMAN-DRIVEN JSON TRANSMISSION SUPERFACE.AI

API Machine Machine PUBLISH MACHINE INTERFACE PROGRAM ANOTHER MACHINE TO CONSUME INTERFACE 🙋 FIND API 🦸 DOCUMENT INTERFACE FOR HUMANS 👨💼 OBTAIN / PURCHASE ACCESS 🤷 UNDERSTAND DOCUMENTATION 👩💻 👨💻 📱 Machine Machine 💊 PAINKILLERS SERVED WHAT WE THINK REALITY SUPERFACE.AI API: MECHANICAL TURKS GLUE & TAPE OUR SYSTEMS TOGETHER

NO IMPROVEMENT IN API DOCUMENTATION OVER LAST DECADE PAIN IN 2011 AS WELL AS IN 2021 SUPERFACE.AI API as deployed API as consumed API as documented

• Test API speci fi cation against documentation • Interactive documentation 🤭 • SDK generators • Developer portals • API guidelines • Design governance tools Spectral WE’VE BUILT TOOLS SUPERFACE.AI

TOOLS, MORE TOOLS SUPERFACE.AI

SUPERFACE.AI • Enable Alexa & Siri to connect autonomously • Drive down the time needed to integrations • Reduce the complexity of API development ALL THESE TOOLS WILL NOT:

SUPERFACE.AI WE SERVE PAINKILLERS, NOT THE SOLUTION

LEVEL UP! HIGHER LEVEL BUSINESS-LEVEL ABSTRACTION ON TOP OF APIS

AUTONOMOUS APIS SUPERFACE.AI

SELF-INTEGRATING APPLICATIONS "Emerging technology that will signi fi cantly a ff ect business and society over the next two to 10 years.” Self-integrating applications

AUTONOMOUS INTEGRATION APPLICATIONS INTEGRATING WITHOUT HUMAN INTERVENTION SUPERFACE.AI DISCOVER 
 Self-navigate in API landscapes CONTRACT 
 Acquire access, purchase if needed CONNECT 
 Figure out technicalities of the API connection MAINTAIN 
 Resilient, self-healing, fail-over

SUPERFACE.AI ARCHITECTURE Registry Provider API Client runtime Direct API Call Provider API Provider API Get APIs that can tell “vehicle lock status” for car make Credentials & instructions how to connect NO PROXY

SUPERFACE.AI CONCEPT UNIVERSAL CLIENT 
 Client library that works with any API Think: Web browsers work with any web RUNTIME UNDERSTANDING 
 Metadata about API shared and utilized at the runtime Think: You don’t memorize the purchase process at amazon.com INTEGRATE USE-CASE, NOT API 
 Client programmed declaratively for application semantics, not API 
 
 Think: “Send SMS” not “POST /messages” OPEN DISCOVERY 
 DNS-like mesh of registries for runtime landscape discovery 
 
 Think: You navigate web through Google (registry) and links Autonomous Integration DEVELOPMENT RUNTIME

SUPERFACE.AI

Declarative description of how to map use-case call to an actual API call for given API provider Comlink map Comlink pro fi le Description of the capability – use case e.g. “Send SMS”. It does not include any information about API RUNTIME METADATA

SUPERFACE.AI INTERNAL LANDSCAPE Registry Inventory API Client runtime Inventory service? Credentials & instructions how to connect Direct API Call AUTONOMOUS INTEGRATION MESH INTERNAL EXTERNAL Inventory API

SUPERFACE.AI EXTERNAL LANDSCAPE Registry Inventory API Client runtime SMS service? Credentials & instructions how to connect Registry SMS API SMS API SMS API Registry Direct API Call INTERNAL EXTERNAL AUTONOMOUS INTEGRATION MESH

SUPERFACE.AI FAILOVER 🔥 Registry Inventory Service A Client runtime Inventory service? Inventory Service B

SUPERFACE.AI NAVIGATION IN UNKNOWN LANDSCAPE Registry Client runtime CASE STUDY: AIRBUS Q: WHAT IS THE MANUFACTURING STATUS FOR MSN 1234? CRM systems Design systems HR systems Procurement systems Inventory PLM systems

SUPERFACE.AI REMOTE INTEGRATION CONTROL MONITOR AND CONTROL YOUR DEPENDENCIES WITHOUT CHANGING CODE Registry Provider API Client runtime Provider API Provider API Remote control • Insights into consumption • Control of the parameters • Control of the used vendors • Business rules

SUPERFACE.AI YOUR APP CAN SELF-INTEGRATE NO NEED FOR CUSTOM CODE OR INTEGRATION PLATFORM / IPAAS Your App Provider API Provider API Autonomous Integration Mesh Autonomous Integration Mesh Your App Integration platform / iPaaS

SUPERFACE.AI IMPACT: API PROVIDERS NO BARRIERS TO PROVIDE CAPABILITIES DEVELOPMENT, DELIVERY, MARKETING, API ECONOMY minimal codebase · independent evolution · minimal documentation · any API design · minimal costs and time to publish · no SEO · more users · API economy · solved microservices realtime communication · democratized markets

SUPERFACE.AI IMPACT: API CONSUMERS FORGET INTEGRATIONS DISCOVER, CONTRACT, CONNECT, MAINTAIN IN NO TIME instant connection · minimal costs · minimal codebase · zero maintenance · maximum resiliency · full redundancy · runtime vendor switching · complete privacy · no added latency · no API documentation · easy discovery · best DX · machine trading · democratized markets
