I built a platform that turns any API into an AI agent in 60 seconds — here's why

A few months ago...

A few months ago I was building internal tools for a client and kept running into the same wall:

Connecting an LLM to a real API always meant writing a ton of glue code.

  • Define the tools
  • Handle auth
  • Parse the spec
  • Wire up the chat loop

Every time, from scratch.

So I built Orqis to solve it for myself. Then I figured other people probably had the same problem.


What it does

You paste an OpenAPI spec URL.

Orqis reads it, generates a set of typed tools for every endpoint, and spins up a conversational agent that can call your API in natural language.

No code. No prompt engineering. No LangChain boilerplate.


What you get

  • A visual graph of your agent's tools
  • A playground to test it before deploying
  • A dashboard to run real tasks
  • Stored API headers (auth tokens, etc.) encrypted at rest
  • Human-in-the-loop confirmation for dangerous operations (DELETE, etc.)

The whole thing — from spec URL to working agent — takes under a minute.


What I learned building it

The hardest part wasn't the AI.

It was making the agent reliable:

  • Sending complete payloads
  • Surfacing real errors instead of hallucinating success
  • Handling partial API responses gracefully

Most of the iteration was on the agent runtime, not the UI.


What's next

  • Multi-step workflows (chain agents)
  • Webhook triggers
  • Shareable agent templates

Feedback

Would love feedback from anyone who’s:

  • Tried to solve a similar problem
  • Built on top of LangGraph / LangChain
  • Hit the same reliability walls

    How are you currently trying to reach developers who have built on LangChain or similar tools? I happen to know a few developers with that exact experience and could put you in touch with a couple for a quick free chat.
