New AI assistant compresses weeks of work into hours, delivering real productivity gains for 40+ million developers worldwide
Postman, the world’s leading platform for API collaboration, has unveiled Agent Mode, an innovative AI-native assistant designed to accelerate productivity across the entire API development lifecycle. Seamlessly integrated into the Postman platform, Agent Mode interprets natural language commands to perform tasks such as designing, testing, documenting, and monitoring APIs—streamlining weeks of manual work into just hours and allowing teams to ship faster with fewer bottlenecks.
As enterprises increasingly adopt AI to optimize software development, the momentum is driven by AI’s ability to reduce manual testing and enhance software quality. According to IDC, AI is playing a pivotal role in improving test coverage and overall usability. A McKinsey report further supports this shift, revealing that generative AI enables developers to complete coding tasks up to twice as fast—leading to faster product delivery, better profit margins, and higher customer satisfaction. With Agent Mode, Postman is leading the charge from code-first to intent-first development, placing it at the forefront of this AI-driven transformation.
Unlike typical copilots that merely suggest code, Agent Mode functions as a fully operational execution agent. It connects directly to live APIs, remains context-aware, and is embedded in a platform trusted by over 40 million developers globally. This intelligent assistant eliminates the fragmented nature of API development by automating complex, time-consuming workflows.

Agent Mode empowers developers to turn requests into real-time actions, managing operations across Postman’s collections, environments, test suites, and documentation. In future updates, users will also be able to build and reuse their own multi-step agents to handle recurring API tasks. These agents will reside within team workspaces, enabling scalable automation across engineering and business operations alike.
“Agent Mode signifies a major shift in how developers interact with tools, APIs, and the systems they build,” said Abhijit Kane, Co-Founder of Postman. “With Agent Mode, Postman becomes the first platform to combine enterprise-grade API tooling with an intelligent agent capable of understanding business intent and delivering production-grade workflows on demand. It effectively removes the need for time-consuming prototyping and empowers teams to move from idea to working product in days – not quarters.”
Key capabilities of Agent Mode include:
-
Collections and Environments: Automatically creates and updates collections with smart variable handling and reusable configurations.
-
Automated Testing: Easily generate test cases, validate response schemas, and simulate edge scenarios with a simple prompt.
-
Documentation: Generates comprehensive, shareable API documentation after successful flow execution.
-
Reusable Agents: Enables the creation of multi-step agents that automate routine workflows, from daily engineering to broader business use cases.
-
Monitoring and Observability: Allows developers to define monitors and health checks using natural language.
-
Team Collaboration: All outputs from Agent Mode are stored within Postman’s collaborative workspaces, making them instantly accessible to teammates across roles—from engineers to product managers and even non-technical contributors.
With Agent Mode, Postman is redefining how developers and organizations build APIs—ushering in a new era of intelligent, intent-driven development that enhances speed, efficiency, and collaboration at scale.
