Superglue is a self-healing integration agent designed to automate workflows by acting as a proxy between users and complex or legacy APIs. It enables users to interact with APIs using natural language prompts, transforming them into deterministic API calls with guaranteed data schema adherence. The primary audience includes developers and businesses seeking to streamline data integration and automate complex processes across applications, APIs, and databases.

How It Works

Superglue analyzes API documentation to automatically generate configurations, handling complexities like pagination, authentication, and error retries. It uses LLMs during the initial setup and transformation rule creation (using JSONata) to ensure deterministic and efficient data mapping. Crucially, it validates incoming data against a defined schema and automatically corrects broken transformations, ensuring consistent output formats and reducing manual intervention.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Hosted Version: Install the JS/TS client via npm install @superglue/client.
• Self-Hosted Version:
