Unify your AI & API management
AI-native architectures don’t start with the AI, LLMs or agents; they start with the APIs that power it.
As applications move toward LLMs and autonomous agents, APIs become the core interface for automated decision-making. That shift introduces new demands on platform teams: APIs must be consistently structured, machine-interpretable, and resilient enough to support high-frequency automated workloads.
Smarter APIs power smarter AI
LLMs and agents interact with systems through APIs. They retrieve data, trigger workflows, and make decisions, but they do so autonomously, at huge scale, and without direct human oversight, putting these structures in place will determine how successful and safe your AI innovation will be. Tyk provides the AI-native foundation to meet these demands, unifying the way you design, secure, operate, and manage APIs and AI workloads in one platform.
What makes an API AI-native?
AI-Native APIs (with Tyk)
Designed for both human and automated
LLM/agent consumption
Centralized identity, authorization,
and policy enforcement
Deep observability across usage, performance,
and agent behavior
Granular access and data-sharing constraints by role, context, and workload
Rate limits, quotas, and circuit breakers tuned for
LLM + agent workloads
Traditional APIs
Designed primarily for
human developers
Inconsistent access control
across services
Basic visibility into requests
and usage
Limited controls for selective or
contextual data sharing
Not optimized for high-frequency
automated calls
How Tyk helps you prepare your APIs for AI
With Tyk, your APIs are built to be consumed by both humans and machines. Tyk provides the tools to ensure your APIs are clearly described, predictable, and easy for LLMs and agents to interpret, with centralized identity, policy enforcement, and full audit visibility across every interaction.
Design clean, well-structured APIs that LLMs can reliably interpret
Secure them with centralized identity and access controls
Apply governance across all workloads, human, system, and agent
Observe usage and behavior to understand, monitor, and shape AI-driven interactions
Extend to MCP just like any other protocol
