Description
APIs. Extensibility. Integrations. These terms come up a lot—but what do they actually mean, and why do they matter now more than ever with the rise of AI? This 101‑level session breaks down the core concepts behind APIs and extensibility in plain language, then explores how those foundations enable modern AI‑powered experiences.
We’ll focus on the why and how behind extensible platforms—without diving into vendor‑ or product‑specific implementations. The session will be highly interactive, with Q&A centered on understanding these concepts at a conceptual level and how they fit into today’s evolving technology landscape.
No prior API experience required, and discussion will intentionally stay general rather than SKY API‑specific.
