API-first companies like Stripe and Twilio generated multi-millions in revenue by monetizing their APIs. According to Straits Research, the global open API market size was valued at USD 3.66 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 25.04 billion in 2032, growing at a CAGR of 23.83%. But 2023 marked another inflection point: the beginning of the rise of AI and autonomous systems that consume APIs at unprecedented scale.

Traditional API monetization strategies weren’t designed for AI-driven traffic patterns. A single AI agent can generate 50x the API calls of a human user, often unpredictably. Your competitors are adapting their API infrastructure and pricing models right now to capitalize on this shift.

In this session, Martyn will distill learnings from years of experience working with API-first businesses on how to effectively build and monetize APIs for the AI era. You’ll learn monetization models best suited for AI workloads, how to adapt existing tried and true models for when the agents come for your APIs, and how to build a self-serve developer experience that gives customers control without sacrificing revenue.

Walk away with a practical roadmap to future-proof your API business for the age of AI agents.
