Postman announced Agent Mode, an AI-native assistant that delivers real productivity gains across the entire API lifecycle.

Available directly within the Postman platform, Agent Mode understands developer intent and executes real tasks – designing, testing, documenting, and monitoring APIs – based on simple natural language input. It compresses weeks of manual effort into hours, enabling teams to ship faster with fewer handoffs and less friction.

Postman offers a fully capable execution agent—connected to real APIs, aware of state, and embedded in the platform. It actively manages the heavy lifting of API development, transforming the fragmented, manual nature of modern software work into fast, AI-powered flows.

Agent Mode is an AI-powered assistant that turns requests into action—executing complex flows across Postman’s collections, tests, environments, and documentation. Looking ahead, developers will also be able to build and reuse their own multi-step agents to automate common API tasks. These reusable agents will live in teams’ workspace and scale productivity across functions and processes—from daily engineering tasks to broader business operations.

“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.”

Agent Mode acts as a natural-language gateway to Postman’s core capabilities:

- Collections and Environments: The agent creates, organizes, and updates collections with proper variable handling and reusable configurations.

- Automated Testing: Users can ask the agent to validate response schemas, create test cases, or simulate edge cases.

- Documentation: Once a flow is working, the agent can generate detailed API documentation that’s immediately shareable across teams.

- Reusable Agents: Developers can build multi-step agents that automate repeatable API tasks—from engineering flows to business processes—all reusable and shareable within your workspace.

- Monitoring and Observability: Developers can set up monitors or define health checks, all through conversation.

- Team Collaboration: Everything created by the agent lives in Postman’s collaborative workspace, instantly usable by all teammates, including product managers, quality assurance, support, and even non-technical members to reduce reliance on developers and expand the pool of “builders” inside a company.
