Replacing Existing Systems with AI-Generated APIs

ThorAPI allows developers to generate client-side code in TypeScript that directly matches the updated API schema. This means that ThorAPI can be used to create new APIs that are compatible with existing systems. This can enable businesses to gradually transition away from costly SaaS products by replacing them with systems built using AI-generated APIs. ● Step-by-Step Replacement: Rather than replacing an entire system at once, which could be disruptive and costly, businesses can use ThorAPI to create APIs that connect to and interact with specific parts of an existing system. ● Reduced Dependence on External Vendors: Over time, as more functionality is replaced with systems built using ThorAPI, the reliance on the external SaaS product decreases, ultimately leading to cost savings.

Not an EASY Road​

It's also worth noting that the use of AI-generated APIs for replacing existing systems may come with its own set of challenges: ● Integration Complexities: Integrating a new API-driven system with a legacy system can be complex, requiring careful planning and testing. ● Data Migration: Migrating data from an existing SaaS product to a new system requires careful consideration of data integrity and compatibility. ● Maintenance and Support: Ensuring the ongoing maintenance and support of a system built with AI-generated APIs is crucial for long-term success.

Gatekeepers Are Everywhere​

Your choices are to either pay the toll or jump the fence and face the consequences. Whatever the arena of life, you've got people trying to hold you down... sometimes even those you love the most push you down the hardest.

Facing the Gatekeepers​

  • Identify Them: Regenerate and recompile who or what is holding you back.
  • Challenge Them: Don't accept limitations imposed by pointy-headed bosses.
  • Surpass Them: Use obstacles as stepping stones to crush other obstacles and/or stones.

The Middle Matters Most​

Overcoming Obstacles

It's easy to start something new when enthusiasm is high. But perseverance during the tough times defines true grit.

  • Resilience: Bounce back from setbacks.
  • Consistency: Keep showing up, even when it's hard.
  • Focus: Remember why you started in the first place.

Embrace the Journey​

The path to success is rarely a straight line. Embrace the twists and turns—they're part of the adventure.

Conclusion: Dare to Defy​

Don't let gatekeepers dictate your destiny. Dare to defy, push through the challenges, and keep moving forward.

Is the most important part the start? Or is it the courage to keep going?
