We welcome Kin Lane, API Evangelist and co-founder of Naftiko. This episode encourages enterprises to publish their “API menu” so others can clearly see what they offer, while recognizing that true competitive advantage lies in the quality behind that menu. The discussion emphasizes the need for organizations to first take inventory of, and clearly define, their capabilities in order to deliver real business outcomes, rather than simply chasing the latest technical trends. It also highlights the importance of bridging the semantic gap through well-aligned documentation, helping prevent AI systems from misrepresenting or hallucinating a company’s offerings.
