ChatGPT is everywhere! Are we ready?

View in browser

With the rise of ChatGPT, and even more so with the launch of “Plugins” – the ChatGPT app store, is there a new era of API management on the horizon?

As more organisations adopt conversational AI, the demand for APIs supporting these applications will increase.

But what do these advances mean for API strategy, user experience (UX), customer experience (CX), and not to mention the glaringly obvious question of security?

And how will this affect developers and senior leaders in the tech sector?

We explore these changes in our new blogs section below, alongside our Tyk community updates and upcoming events (don’t worry, it’s not all ChatGPT-related!).

ChatGPT plugins are a fascinating area as it opens up AI assistant-style possibilities for all aspects of the systems supported with API management platforms like Tyk. But what do these advances mean for UX? Read the blog.

Why engineers should care about customer experience

Most organisations say they are customer-focused. And while that may be the case at the executive level, sadly, this does not always extend to the internal teams that need to understand them most. In this case, the engineering teams. Read more here.

We are gathering for our very first community call to talk about what’s new at Tyk, and we can't wait! These are the events we were born to host. This is not just any old webinar.
