# AI Connectivity
Secure, manage, speed up, monetize, and cost-control every LLM, MCP, event, and API request.
## TRUSTED BY THE LARGEST API AND AI COMPANIES
## Cloud Native
### Moving from an API call economy…
The API call dominated the cloud-native era. We helped you become an API-first company.
## Agentic AI
### …to a token economy
Now the token is king. We'll help you build, run, and govern agents to win this new landscape.
## Fragmentation drives AI failure
Get un-fragmented. Unify your AI cost, security, and risk posture with Kong.
## WITHOUT KONG
## Fragmented API & AI traffic
## WITH KONG
## APIs. LLMs. Agents. One platform for API and AI traffic.
Build, deploy, and run agentic infrastructure in a single developer workspace.
Eliminate critical security and resilience risks across the entire AI data path.
Monetize agent context, and do what it takes to win the new context economy.
## Unified API and AI platform
Build agents. Orchestrate context. Govern APIs, events, and data access. All in one unified API and AI platform.
## 01/ BUILD & SHIP AGENTS
## Agentic AI Management
**Build fast, safe, cost-effective agents**
Build and test agents. Connect them with intelligence and enterprise context.
**Speed:** Use pre-built policies to connect agents with intelligence and context
**Cost:** Optimize context handling and token consumption
**Risk:** Standardize your approach to agent resilience and access control
## 02/ MANAGE APIS AS CONTEXT
## API Management
**Manage the entire API lifecycle**
Everything from API design and testing to publishing and monetization. All in one platform.
**Speed**: Reduce time to API onboarding and drive API reuse
**Cost**: Stand up internal API chargeback and drive max cost efficiency
**Risk**: Enforce access control and threat protection for every API, everywhere
## 03/ GOVERN REAL-TIME DATA
## Event Management
**Open up real-time data for real-time agents**
Standardize how you integrate agents and applications with real-time data streams.
**Speed**: Speed up dev cycles through self-serve access to real-time data
**Cost**: Eliminate redundant broker infrastructure, and lower overall infra costs
**Risk**: Offload auth, encryption, failover, and more to the Gateway
## 04/ IMPROVE BUSINESS MARGINS
## API + AI Monetization
**Govern costs & monetize digital assets**
Optimize token consumption, and monetize consumption of intelligence and context.
**Speed: Make and launch pricing changes in minutes — not weeks**
**Cost**: Set up entitlements, and enforce limits at runtime
**Risk**: Don’t let runway AI costs get in the way of continued AI innovation
## 05/ EMPOWER THE AI BUILDERS
## Developer Productivity
**Design, test, and produce agentic workflows**
Package high-quality, high-trust digital assets for agent and developer consumption.
**Speed**: Speed up agentic development with self-serve API and MCP discovery
**Cost**: Publish monetized API and AI products in the self-serve Developer Portal
**Risk**: Test for critical quality, security, and resilience risks
