Dag Kittlaus CEO @Siri : “The OS of virtual assistants will be the Internet .. The brains will be AIs .. The arms and legs will be web APIs”
Notes:
API stands for “Application Programming Interface.” It is a set of rules and protocols that defines how two software systems can communicate with each other. APIs are commonly used on the web to allow different systems to interact with each other in a standardized way.
One common use case for APIs on the web is to allow a website or web application to access data or functionality from a third-party service. For example, a social media website might use an API to access user data from a database, or to post updates to a user’s feed. An e-commerce website might use an API to retrieve product information or to process payments.
APIs can also be used to expose the functionality of a system to developers, allowing them to build applications that integrate with the system. For example, a company might provide an API that allows developers to build custom applications that interact with the company’s database of customer information.
