Post/Con in Los Angeles – June 4, 2025 – Postman, a maker of API partnership platform, today announced the proxy model, Anai-Native Assistant, designed to deliver productivity gains over the API lifecycle.
Agent mode is available within the Postman platform, allowing developers to understand their intentions and perform actual tasks based on simple natural language inputs – design, test, record and monitor APIs. It compresses weeks of manual effort into hours, allowing teams to ship faster with less friction.
Organizations are turning to AI for software development at an increasingly rapid pace. According to IDC, this is due to the ability of AI to reduce the need for manual testing, which improves test coverage, software availability, and code quality. Additionally, a McKinsey study shows that software developers can quickly complete coding tasks by generating AI, and these improvements in developer productivity can lead to significant improvements in business outcomes, including faster time to market, higher profit margins, and improved customer satisfaction. As AI continues to reshape the software development environment, proxy mode location postmen are at the forefront of the industry’s development: from code-first tools to intent-first platforms.
In the case where most tools provide co-pilots that help code suggestions, Postman offers a fully capable execution agent that is associated with real APIs, aware of state and embedded in platforms used by more than 40 million developers around the world. It actively manages the heavy lifting of API development, transforming the fragmented manual nature of modern software into fast, AI-driven traffic.
The proxy mode is an AI-driven assistant that converts requests into actions – complex streams of collections, tests, environments, and documents that follow Postman. Going forward, developers will also be able to build and reuse their own multi-step proxy to automate common API tasks. These reusable agents will live in the team’s work area and expand productivity between functions and processes, from day-to-day engineering tasks to wider business operations.
“The proxy model represents a significant shift in developers’ interactions with tools, APIs and the systems they build,” said Abhijit Kane, co-founder of Postman. “Through the proxy model, Postman became the first platform to combine enterprise-level API tools with smart agents that understand business intentions and deliver production-level workflows on demand. It effectively eliminates time-consuming prototypes and enables its time-consuming prototypes and moves royal teams from days of work to work products instead of a quarter.”
Agent mode is a natural language portal to the core functions of postalers:
-
Collection and Environment: Agents create, organize and update collections with appropriate variable handling and reusable configurations.
-
Automatic testing: Users can ask the proxy to verify the response pattern, create test cases, or simulate edge cases.
-
Documentation: After flow comes into effect, the agent can generate detailed API documentation that can be shared immediately across the entire team.
-
Reusable Agents: Developers can build multi-step agents that automate repeatable API tasks from engineering flow to business processes – reusable and shareable in your workspace.
-
Monitoring and Observability: Developers can set up monitors through conversations or define health checks.
-
Teamwork: Everything created by agents live in Postman’s collaborative workspace, and all teammates can be used immediately, including product managers, quality assurance, support and even non-technical members to reduce dependence on developers and expand the library of “builders” within the company.
